Try to network with your classmates who have landed jobs in hospitals. That's how I was able to get 2 interviews. I also just kept applying and was recently called in for an interview for Rouge Valley and I was recently hired at St. Mike's despite being a new grad.

@rajm I'm commuting from Markham as well. My first two placements were closer to home but my recent placements were in downtown. It's true that it does depend on where you live sometimes but either way, you will end up with some placements in downtown. I'm in my first year so I'm not sure how it works for your final consolidation but if I find out, I'll let you know! and heartstrings is right! Our placements include maternity and geriatrics in first term, which are followed by mental health, pediatrics and med-surg (the order varies depending on which one you're placed in first).

I don't know about York U but being in the program, I've had really good placements so far. I've been at hospitals like Toronto General and Sick Kids and my friends have been at Mount Sinai, St. Michael's, Sunnybrook etc so I do think we get really good placements. U of T has really good relationships with these hospitals. In terms of maintaining a high GPA, I think it really depends on how much work you put it in but our averages have been relatively high for all courses so far (B+) considering most of the courses in my other undergrad had averages of low 70s. I should mention that there are a lot of papers in this program so if you do choose to go to U of T, be prepared to write a lot!

I think I got the acceptance email last Monday and it came in the mail today.

I also got accepted yesterday! Can't wait to start the program and meet y'all

Does anyone know how the program at Western compares to York? I'm not sure if i should apply to Western. Thanks!

Is anyone having trouble getting an academic reference? I've emailed some profs but haven't received a reply and the deadline is looming. Any advice? Thanks!
