Question for successful applicants of a second-entry BScN program.

[Ovasaray]

For those of you who have been accepted to this extremely competitive program, what was your CGPA? Did any of you have to submit a supplementary document, such as a resume indicating relevant work/volunteer experience, etc?

I have one year left to finish my social sciences degree with the newfound intent to apply to a second-degree nursing program in Canada. My first choice is uOttawa as I'm already a student there. Currently my CGPA is 8.8, but I'm guessing this'll go down when I take the mandatory pre-reqs. I know many schools advertise that a 75% average is the minimum, but that's merely the minimum to apply - I'd like to get an understanding of what the real minimum for acceptance is. Thanks!

Most schools admissions average is between 80-90%, and from what I gather from other threads it seems to be mid 80s minimum (whatever that is on a 4.0 scale, we don't do that at UBC). When I applied in 2011 the average was 78%...in other words it's rising (my friend started in 2013 and it's now 80%).

My stats: previous BA holder, volunteer experience at Canadian Cancer Society and a long term care facility, GPA 86 %. Best of luck to you!
