Second Degree Nursing Application

[NorthernG]

Hi, I am applying for second degree nursing programs this fall. As it stands, I plan to apply to pretty much all of the programs offered in Ontario. My top choices would be U of T and Ottawa. I graduated from my honours bachelor of science in Biology in 2012, and have been a graduate student for the 1.5 years. Unfortunately graduate school was not for me, and I do not plan to defend my thesis. I have published a couple of scientific papers during my time as a graduate student and I do thoroughly enjoy being involved in research projects (I am currently still working on a few publications).

I am planning on registering for a few courses this fall to ensure I qualify for the program offered at U of T, and was curious what classes other people have taken and GPA. I graduated my undergrad with a 78% GPA, but most of my prerequisite course were within the 80-90 range.

For my life sciences or physical sciences prerequisites - I was thinking about using my undergraduate thesis courses, or a biophysics course and neuropharmacology courses.

Social Sciences prerequisite - Neurobiology course (psychology) and a women studies course on women's health issues

Humanities - A religion course on paranormal activity and a classics course on greek and latin roots of english.

What I am mostly unsure about is whether I should register for different courses for my humanities elective. These are the only courses which would be applicable from my undergrad, but I am willing to take other courses if necessary. Figure I would get a second opinion from people who may also be in this situation.
