I'm starting this topic for those who are applying to 2nd-entry programs, to start in 2014.
A bit about myself:
I'll be applying to University of Ottawa and University of Toronto.
Graduated with a Social Science degree from Ottawa U w/ 7.2 CGPA (aka 3.33 on 4.0 scale, or a B+)
A lot of community involvement in health promotion, youth counseling programs, women's health research..
Currently taking the prerequisites...
I'm kind of nervous about the applications because I know how competitive these programs are... Any advice from current 2-year BScN students would be great!
My GPA is 3.76 in my last two years. 3.4 overall with an Honours degree in bio. What I think really helps me is I have been working as a medical secretary plus volunteering in hospital.
I had a 3.9 GPA (9.1/10 from uOttawa). I hope you hear from UWO soon!
I have a 3.9 GPA as well, but I'm on the lower end of the spectrum so I'm sure that makes a difference. Are you finished your ANP courses already? Was it BIOL 235 or another?
Hi Venture12, congratulations!!! Btw, if you may please share your gpa calculated for queens and Trent please? that's be really helpful! Thank You!
My GPA is 3.76 in my last two years. 3.4 overall with an Honours degree in bio (on OMSAS scale). What I think really helps me is I have been working as a medical secretary plus volunteering in hospital and the fact they dont look at my first two years which are dreadful.

I finished all of my ANP courses during my degree, I took ANP1105 and 1106 and PHS3240 at uOttawa.
Does anyone know how admissions committees view late withdrawals from non-requirement courses?? Is the 'LWD' or 'W' notation frowned upon? I can't seem to get a definitive answer from any of the schools.
Also just an FYI: I just got off the phone with the OUAC and if you accept an offer to an university you can still cancel that acceptance at any time if your "dream" school gives you an offer of admission.
Did you happen to ask them if you can extend the offer deadline?
