@york2016 - Yes, you're correct! :)

It says you need a cumulative grade point average of at least a B (6.0 on the York Scale) and a B+ (7.0) average in the last 30 credits. Also, you need at least a B (6.0 on the York Scale) for each prerequisite course.

Hey, all the best next year! I will be applying to York as well. Just to give everyone a heads up that the requirements have changed from this year - so check the website! lol

^ You also need a minimum of 2 years work experience (3640 hours).

I called the department and the lady said that the program is pretty much at capacity. They have rolling admissions, so if a spot does open up they'll let us know. Congrats to all of you accepted folks!

Any updates on York? lol

^ Found this on another thread: York 2nd Entry Nursing Class of 2017 PS. Congrats!

@want_to_get_in, thanks for the info! By any chance, do you know if that's for both internal & external? That would definitely help my case if it's open for both applicant pools lol.

When I called the department, the lady said they take the highest GPAs from both internal/external. So I assume the B+ cut-off is for both groups.

They look at cGPA and your GPA in the last 30 credits (5 full courses).

I know the internal spots are filled, but I'm hoping there's some sort of waiting list (fingers crossed).

To the applicants who are still waiting for York, are any of you internal? Thanks!

We won't know until final grades come in. So I'm guessing we should be hearing back around end of May/early June. Goodluck to all internal applicants!

lol I should probably clarify. The cutoff i'm talking about is for internal applicants from last year. They did not accept anybody below the B+ mark in both cumulative and last 30.

I spoke to the Program Assistant at York and she told me that the cutoff was a B+ in both overall and last 30. It's pretty competitive

@cb45770 and to all other internal applicants: What is your overall gpa and last 30 credits gpa? I'm a bit worried about the competition I'm anticipating by May an overall gpa of 6.5, and last 30 a 7.0. Hopefully that will be enough I will apprecia...

Hey everybody, I have done tons of research and have decided that I will like to go to either York or UofT for their accelerated nursing programs. I would like to ask students who are currently in the program or graduates a.couple of questions. 1) I ...

@Cee023 Thanks a lot for your help! I guess I have a lot of thinking to do haha. So difficult to decide, both seem like great programs!

@heartstrings - Thanks for your reply! If I live in the Markham/Pickering area, would it still be possible to get placements in Downtown, Toronto? Would it help if I have access to a car? I really want placements in the downtown core; especially for ...

@Cee023 - Thanks a lot for your help! By any chance do you live near the campus or are you commuting? I live near Markham/Pickering, so i'm not sure if it would be beneficial for me to live near campus. Thanks again!

Anybody else? lol

Bump

Thank you, Lori! Any other help will be appreciated :)
