I wrote the NCLEX RN on Wednesday, August 3, 2016. Like most of the other authors on this site, I wanted to share my experience in the hope that it would help someone else. As some of you may know, the NCLEX recently came to Canada in January 2015. W...

I sent this via private message but I thought I would share in case anyone else was in the same situation. First of all, congratulations on your acceptances! It is a great feat to just be accepted! Both programs are really great so, whatever decisio...

Sorry, @DLin1 I didn't see your post! Yes, I was able to work at UofT. For both years I worked around 10-15 hours, was part of student government and organized a number of events. It was quite difficult to manage the first year but I learned a lot a...

The first semester is very hectic and is very very busy. I also came from an undergraduate Arts degree so I had to work fairly hard to keep on top of the science information that was new to me. The second year was much more manageable. Also, I, as ...

Thank you! UofT has a fantastic nursing program! Let me know if you have any questions about the program before applying. Good luck!

Hi Everyone! I am a new graduate from UofT nursing. Just passed my NCLEX on Wednesday! Yay! If anyone has been accepted to UofT has any questions feel free to message me. I absolutely loved the program. The professors are so incredibly helpful and ...

I think I had a 3.75 in my final ten courses. But I think my ECs really elevated my application and got me into UBC and U of T. Prior to entering nursing I had a lot of experience working in HIV and prison research as well as, a few other research p...

Hi everyone! I am a current second year U of t nursing student. I have heard from some of my classmates that they were accepted up until the day before school started, which is September 8th. So if you are in the first group of the wait list then I...

Last year I had my interview on April 11th, 2014 and I was accepted May 7. I think they generally stick to a similar schedule each year so you should all be hearing very soon. Good luck everyone! I am sure you all did very well on your interviews!

@kjohns87 If it is the same as last year you have to do a money order to U of T, its pretty annoying to do and you have I think two weeks to submit it i think. Maybe someone who has this years can speak to this more clearly.

Hi everyone! I am a current U of T second degree nursing student but I applied and was accepted to UBC last year. I remember how anxious I was prior to my UBC interview so I thought I would pass on some tips! 1. in regards to dress everyone was in ...

My gpa ? It was a 3.76 I think.

Hi y'all I am in the U of T program and it runs until the end of June! Hope that helps!

For U of T I would focus your research experience and skills as this is something that they really encourage in their students. For UBC I would emphasize your knowledge of social determinants of health and how the work you have done is related to th...

Hi everyone! I am current U of T student in the second degree nursing program. I applied last year to Trent, York, U of T, Nipissing, and UBC, and was accepted to all schools, so feel free ask me any questions you might have about any of these specif...

I spoke with a number of students from the SPP program via email and they LOVED the program, they said that it is very self directed but you have lots of hands on experience. It seems like an wonderful experience. I do know that it is currently goin...

When I was unsure about my acceptance I called the nursing admissions officer, the number is on the u of t website under contacts, and they were incredibly helpful. If anyone has questions I would advise them to call them or email connect.nursing. ...

I would also recommend the Nipissing SPP program to anyone looking for entry next year. It is a really innovative new program that is very self directed. You are mentored one on one with a working nurse in hospital and you get a large amount of clin...

I also wanted to share some information I had about the waitlist as well. When I spoke to one of the advisors early in the month they said that the waitlist is not structured in a consecutive list but rather applicants are placed in groups and if th...

I just declined my offers at Trent and UBC as well, so if anyone is waiting on those schools I hope that helps you out!

I got into U of T today! Yah!

Ive declined my offer so you will be moving up one more spot soon. Good Luck!

I'm hope I hear soon! I have similar stats to you. I have a 3.33 cgpa and 3.75 in last five and sent in two academic and two professional letters.

I've called as well and basically hear the same thing. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for good news later this week! Last year a few people posted they received offers in June so there is still hope! I've gotten into four other programs but U of ...

I Know! I'm still waiting on U of T as well. Its driving me crazy
