U of O Fall 2013 Waiting/accepted/rejected/EXCITED!

Published

I wanted to start this thread for anyone applying for Fall of 2013. Whilst we are sitting around waiting to get our replies back.

Background: I was a stay at home mom for almost 6 years and now I finally applied to BscN and Practical nursing. When I start my kids will be 5 and almost 3. My husband is extremely supportive, I love him so much for helping me throughout this process!

I had a previous post about stay at home mom scared to go back. I can't believe I applied and now every morning I wake up looking forward for something big!

What is your story and how are you feeling about starting?

What can we do while waiting as to not go crazy!

wow nice good for u, I have a toddler that's 3 and I wanted to apply to the BScN at Ottawa U and Algonquin and will do that this week hopefully. I hope they accept me for fall and I hope the course load is not too much trouble. I dont know which campus is better Ottawa U or Algonquin, I've been to Algonquin its nice and nice ppl etc and I know Ottawa U is known for ppl being in the less friendly zone however any suggestions as to the teachers or profs and which campus is better or is is college easier on students a little????

just as unknown to me too... I know the classes size are smaller for RPN @ Algonquin, therefore it might feel more comfortable to study with people you know. I would assume since the university classes are bigger therefore one might feel like a nobody in a big crowd.

I am so excited! I hope you get in too.

Still waiting for Ottawa U......since it's my 1st choice. I am losing my mind. Period.

So the wait is finally....over. I was denied acceptance in Ottawa U collab program, based on the reason that my average is lower than 77% for their accepting average.

Now there is a twist in the story. Before applying to the program I had reviewed my average as a CEGEP applicant with one of the admission advisors in U of O. We both agreed that I was 78%. I am unsure now about the criteria used during the admission process of my application, if they are saying I was denied because I was lower than 77%????

What do you think? Should I put up a follow up and seek clarification about how this was concluded? Anyway...I would greatly appreciate any input.

Hi there, I was accepted to uOttawa Second Entry program in early Feb (for a May 2013 start). However, I've since been accepted to UofT and Queen's for fall 2013 and think I would prefer to accept the offer from UofT. Unfortunately, due to the difference in start times for these programs, I have a feeling that I won't be the only applicant in this position!
