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!
On April 22nd I received an acceptance from MAC, and on April 23rd I received an acceptance to UofT. Not sure which I will be accepting yet but this means I will be declining my Queens acceptance so hopefully this opens up a spot for someone else! I was wondering if anyone knows if MAC requires a deposit upon acceptance since I'm still crossing my fingers for Western. Good luck to everyone!

I accepted my offer to Mac last week and there was no deposit required! I had until April 30th to accept and my offer said I could still cancel my acceptance after that date.
I got my acceptance into UofT this morning via email!!
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys in Sept!
I also applied to McMaster and York but I haven't heard back from them yet.
To everyone else still waiting to hear back... hang in there! I know how painful the wait is but from talking to people in these programs, it seems like a lot of offers come out in May
I also received an acceptance from UofT on the 29th, which i happily accepted! I cancelled my Queens offer, and declined my offer from york. I think uoft will be sending out A LOt of offers in the next three weeks.good luck!
I just received an acceptance from UofT by email! This means I will be freeing up my spot at Queen's. The program at Queen's is awesome but finances are a big issue for me and I can live at home if I go to UofT. Good luck to everyone. The people going into accelerated nursing programs have incredible marks and experience - it's going to be a huge privilege to work with you all in the years to come.

Congratulations! Would you mind sharing your credentials? :)
For those who are wondering what it takes to get a UofT acceptance these days (got mine last week:)), I believe they would have calculated my GPA on the last ten credits as 3.7 (on a 4.3 scale). My just-completed undergrad is in health studies and I was a paid developmental service worker at a hospital last summer. What I hope positioned me well is my extensive volunteer experience which includes: HIV education in South Africa; HIV research at a Vancouver hospital; palliative care training and experience; helping adults with developmental disabilities engage in exercise programs; speaker coordinator for a healthcare conference; working one-on-one with children with severe disabilities.
I have been admitted to the York and UFT program. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two programs. I was just wondering if anyone could provide any insight about the programs / explain why they may have chosen one over the other.
Hey guys! I'm late joining this but I'm glad I found it so I can get feedback from all those waiting. I applied to McMaster, University of Toronto, Trent University and of course Western, all for the accelerated nursing programs. I'm extremely hopeful but at the same time, my grades aren't AMAZING. I figured by now they would have rejected me so I guess I'm staying hopeful but keeping a level head at the same time.
I just completed my Honours double degree in Biology and Psychology B.Sc. at Wilfrid Laurier University in April 2014, with a minor in Chemistry. My grades are good but I wouldn't say they're fantastic. I have done volunteer work at a doctor's office, as well as in the emergency room of the hospital back home. Has anyone heard from Western yet? It's my first choice due to the shortest time-frame as well as it's the closest to home. I'm SO hoping I get in. Anyone else feel like they're in the same boat?
