Second-Entry Nursing Programs - 2014 Hopeful

[MatchaGreenTea]

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

Got an email yesterday saying that I am on the UofT waitlist. I didnt ask which group i'm in though.

hey guys. whoever got contacted by Western via phone call about being in off the waitlist, can you tell me what number called you? I'm just trying to program it into my phone so if they call, I know it's them. Thanks!

UWO sent out an email today:"This year was the highest applicant pool ever with more than 840 applications and the admitting average is the highest to date. We are just now finalizing the students entering this program so you will get further information about registration, immunizations and orientation information the week of July 14"

For those of you who received a call from western off the wait list, do you mind sharing your stats?

[lalalene]

last I heard they were at 85.1 for the cut off average. Anyone receive a call since then to let us know if the cut off average has dropped a little?

Hi everyone, I have rejected my offer at Western. I have some circumstances that mean I'll be delaying my education for a term. Hopefully this opens a spot up for one of you! I'll now be looking at schools with January start dates again! Please share if you know of any programs, my best bet so far is with UCalgary.

For those still waiting, I'm sure there will be other people like me who will have to turn down offers in the next few months. I know it's brutal but stay strong!

Any news guys??

I was on UWO's waitlist and got a call Wednesday morning (July 2nd) offering me a spot. My admissions average was 85.0%

Also fyi to anyone who did get in to Western's CTF program: there's a Facebook page for students entering the program this year: 'UWO CTF Nursing Class of 2016'
