Got into York today :) cGPA: 3.33, sGPA (last 10 credits): 3.43

Hi, do you happen to remember what your cGPA/GPA was and when you got accepted? And is the strike affecting you? Thanks in advance for answering, haha.

Hi, does anyone know if York's 2nd entry program has minimum cut-off marks for prerequisites? I have a B+ cGPA and B+ sessional GPA but I have one really terrible mark in my prerequisites, it was a D+...

Hey Letitbe, do you mind sharing your cGPA and GPA (last 10 credits)? Thanks in advance!

I'm in my 4th year at Queen's. The AST program is a really small, tight-knit group of students (if that means anything to you). It's also a good balance between theoretical and practical material, whereas I heard UT is quite theory-heavy. Queen's itself is quite a small campus, every building is only a 5-10 minute walking distance apart. Placements are at nearby hospitals (there are 3) or in the community. One hospital is on campus and the other two hospitals are a bus-ride away / 15-20 minute walk from campus. You don't start placement until 2nd semester, and during the months of May and June you're at placement everyday. At UT they start almost right away and it's just once a week at first, progressively more later. (I really don't know if any of this was useful, sorry...!) I feel like it will probably come down to whether you like the homey feel of Queen's/Kingston + the small program size, or the big city of Toronto + its well-known hospitals + the large program size.

This is really helpful! Thank you for sharing. :) Can breathe a bit more easily now...maybe.

Hi, This might be a long shot, but is anyone applying to a second entry BScN with a disability, or are there current nursing students on this forum with one? Mine is a mental health condition and I chose to disclose this to admissions since some of my marks during undergrad were affected as a result. I guess I'm a bit worried about how it will affect how they view my application/suitability. I also understand that accelerated programs are quite stressful... just wondering what your own experiences have been like. Thanks for reading :)

Hi everyone! I applied to York and Queen's. My cGPA is 3.3, my GPA in the last 30 credits is 3.4.

Hey xibb, just wondering what your cGPA and GPA in the last 5.0 credits were when you got in! Also, could you comment on your overall experience in the program so far? (Sorry if it's too broad of a question.)
