I'm a current U of C student who applied through the degree holder route. I'll be graduating at the end of this year. Please feel free to post any questions here!
Another round of applications is starting soon for the January 2019 intake of Transfer and/or Degree Holder students. Here's the U of C page for their info:
One of the most common questions is whether the courses you have taken meet the faculty's pre-requisites. The best way to be sure is to email a screenshot of your transcript to [email protected] and ask if you are missing anything.
Important note! As of 2019, the faculty is changing the schedule for the summer terms.
"We will compress all courses in Term 4 and Term 7 to be offered over a 9-week period from late April to the end of June. The result would be an intense spring term, but students would have no scheduled nursing courses during July and August."
While having 2 months off sounds great for some, it causes trouble for others (student loans, jobs, child care etc.). Please be aware of this change before applying.
As far as I was told it varies year by year, however I would ask the department what GPA they're at right now. I know someone on this forum was accepted with a GPA of 3.55? Definitely let us know if you find out as I know there are others also in the same boat wondering what GPA they're at.
I was also wondering, has anyone gotten the full package? When I asked the department about it, they mentioned it wold be in October. I'm getting a bit antsy as we're going to Mexico on vacation October 31-November 7 and then start the move to Calgary on November 10 since we're driving and I want to take my time and get settled in before school starts. I got the acceptance letter but not the full package of instructions, I'm super excited to find out what group I'm placed in and also get started on the background check etc.
Hi guys, I just got my green check mark last week. Super excited!! I applied for the "degree-holder" route. My GPA was 3.74 and they received my transcripts on September 27th. Best of luck to everyone still waiting. Looking forward to meeting you all in January!
