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:

I Know! I'm still waiting on U of T as well. Its driving me crazy

Have you contacted them to see what is going on? I hav emailed them a couple of time and they only have a prompt sent back to me which basicly says wait until June 30-th.

I've called as well and basically hear the same thing. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for good news later this week! Last year a few people posted they received offers in June so there is still hope! I've gotten into four other programs but U of T would be the most convenient!!!

Yeah Let's see what happens. Hopefully we will both get in:)

Hey everyone waiting to hear from UofT! I was accepted yesterday, but I will be giving my spot away so hopefully someone will get my spot :). Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Hey kdex91,

Congrats that you got accepted even though you're giving that spot away. Do you mind sharing your cgpa and last 5 credit gpa?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Hopeful-RN! I believe that it was between 3.8-3.9 for my last 5 credits I never actually calculated it to be sure though.. I know waiting is awful, but don't give up hope yet!!! good luck!

Everyone check your student portal for Western! Results are posted!

I've been waitlisted at Western.

I've been waitlisted too. What exactly will that mean for us?

I've been accepted to Western and I will be going there. It was my first choice next to Queens. cGPA is 83% for four years of university. In the last 10 credits my average was closer to 88% and in the last year my average was closer to 92%. Best of luck to everyone that applied and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in the Western program. If there is a facebook group for Class of 2016 I would love to join.
