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!
For those on the waitlist at western, I emailed them to inquire about my position on the list. This is what they said.
We do not release positions on the wait list, as our wait list fluctuates with new grade information and applicant decisions. If a space becomes available in the program, and we are able to offer you admission, we will contact you by the phone number listed in your Student Center. A wait list decision could be made anywhere from the middle of June to the beginning of classes in September, if spaces were to open in the program. The current competitive average is 86.00% as calculated by Western over the last 10.0 credits.
That seems like a high cutoff still. last years cutoff for admission was 83% in last 10 credits.
Does anyone know if we are still eligible for being wait-listed if we've accepted an offer elsewhere? I accepted my offer to Queen's but I am still waiting on U of T, as it's my first choice!

That seems like a ridiculously high average... I emailed them about the same thing so hopefully they get back to me. I thought there was a deadline when schools had to know by about their admissions? Waiting till September seems really long...
Hey, I can't find the Western FB group for class of 2016 either. Would you mind sending me group# at the end of the FB link, that may help to find it. Thanks!
