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!
I don't believe that is quite how McMaster approaches PBL. They are known for PBL as they have been using it for decades and basically the idea is to teach students to build on their knowledge before trying to solve a problem. I don't know the exact details but I think that for Macs BScN program there is an actual class dedicated to PBL in which you are given a problem (I believe in the form of a case study or something similar), then you are put in small groups where you discuss and work towards a solution using the knowledge you have acquired in your preparation beforehand. It is very self-directed. There are still professors that lecture for other classes, though.
I have friends in the PBL program and this is basically how they described it to me too. They all highly recommended it. They did say it takes awhile to get used to, but in the long run they found it to be very beneficial.
So I did some research about making a group for Queens and I think we can just make one. However, it requires two people to make it because you have to add a second person to the group before it can be completed.

I noticed that as well when I tried to make a group.. Well I guess we can somehow add each other to the group?

Is there a way to like private message in this or something? That way we can send our Facebook info or something so we can add eachother and then make the group?

I don't think so because we haven't been active on the group for long enough. However, premed101 you can private message on there.. I kept my username the same there as here so if you want you can message me there instead!
