Second-Entry Nursing Programs - 2014 Hopeful

Published

Hi Everyone!

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!

Let's get this thread going :up:

does any one know if there is a deposit required when you accept Queens?

I just accepted my offer a few days ago , and so far there has been no indication that we need to send in a deposit. There is a FB group started for those going to Queen's that was posted on the forum already.

Does anyone know when Western sends out their next round of acceptances? I have to respond to U of T by June first and its quite a large deposit ($500), so if anyone has an idea of when they should be sending them out and would like to share that'd be great!

Does anyone know when U of T will be sending out more acceptances? Has anybody heard from u of t recently? Any information would be really appreciated!! The waiting game is extremely stressful!

I have yet to hear from UofT...I'm hoping that they're just waiting for my final marks. It doesn't seem like they've sent out any acceptances recently though, but I can't be sure. However, I'm pretty sure they'll still be sending out acceptances since they said they'd send them until June. Fingers crossed everyone! I agree, the waiting game is pure agony.

I haven't heard back from UofT :/ but there's still a lot of time left so let's hope for the best :)

and congrats to those who have been accepted!

Earlier today (and right after posting on this forum), I received an email from UofT regarding my acceptance for September 2014!

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you soon :D

If you don't mind, can you share your stats with us?

Thanks!

I got a letter from Western yesterday saying they've deferred my application until they receive my final transcript.

I know a few people have posted saying they got the same thing, but does anyone know what this means for us? They said they will consider my application as long as there are spaces available in the program, but what if they fill up before my final transcript gets sent? I have a 3.9 GPA on my last 10 courses and only 1 class waiting on final marks (not a prereq) so I'm a bit confused as to how they choose to send out acceptances to some people and deferrals to others :(

I got an acceptance email from UofT yesterday (352pm). Woo hoo! Thanks everyone for the support and information and good luck to everyone still waiting!

Would you mind sharing your stats?

and congratulations!

Thanks. Posted them a few pages back sorry on the run at the moment
