Wow, you were in the exact same position I am in. Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am in biological sciences and currently have a 72% average.. Did you find the courses got a bit easier in upper years or you developed better study habits rather? What made you choose not to switch into the RPN programs? Also for second-entry nursing, did you need a reference letter? If so, how can we get a reference in Guelph, with the class sizes being so large!

I am currently 2nd year at the University of Guelph in science and have applied for nursing at Ottawa , Laurentian and Northern College. I was really hoping to get into Ottawa as my parents live there and I could be at home. They did not accept me, I needed an 80%+ average and don't currently have that. Im accepted at Laurentian and Northern College but not too excited about possibly spending 4 years in Sudbury or Timmins... Ottawa doesn't take 2nd year transfers so I would have to finish my degree. Should I stay in science and get my average higher for Ottawa nursing the following year? Or get right into it now that I can. If I stay in Guelph another year, I feel that I will just finish my bachelor since I only have 2 years left. Im not sure what I would do with my degree if I stay in just science, I know how competitive med schools, etc are! Second-entry nursing programs are very competitive as well. WHAT SHOULD I DO!
