Is anyone else applying to the compressed nursing program at University of Toronto this year for entrance in September 2013? I want to start a thread so we can see when people get accepted and what their grades are like. Good luck to everyone!
Hey there, I received my acceptance to UofT via email on April 2nd! It's also posted on my Join UofT account; however, I am still waiting on my letter offer in the mail. Not sure yet when my acceptance deadline is, but I think UofT will be my first choice.
I was also accepted to the AST nursing program at Queen's and the Second Entry nursing program at uOttawa. The University of Ottawa program starts (and finishes) sooner, but I think the program and the clinical experiences offered in Toronto will make me a stronger nurse. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to find a ranking of Canadian nursing schools, but UofT is ranked higher than both Queens and uOttawa in the Medical school ratings by Macleans. I guess that should be a decent indicator of training for the health professions in general...
Oh, and I'm not too sure what my GPA would be since I have a BA Honours, with a minor in Biology (started as a BIOL major), as well as an MA. I've also since taken a few prerequisites from other universities, so it's a bit difficult to calculate! I've gotten an A+ in statistics, A+ in anatomy/physiology, and A- to A+ in other pre-reqs.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
I read on one forum that 176 students are getting accepted this year. I think she said she heard that from the open house last year
Thanks! Wow, that's a huge class compared to the 24 English speaking students accepted to uOttawa. But it makes sense considering UofT only offers the compressed BScN program.
Is anyone else on this forum an international applicant? Does anyone know if offers to this type of student are made around the same time, or later? (I'm from the US). I was hoping to be a strong candidate (BA and MA, 3.8-9 GPA, A's and A-'s pre-req scores, lots of int'l work exp, hospital volunteering, advocacy work in India, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc), but haven't heard a peep yet.. Starting to get really nervous..
I've also applied to York's second entry program, and no word from them either.
Good luck everyone, and congrats to those who have made it in already!

I have to keep a B+ average with my acceptance, so I guess mine is conditional? I received my offer a week ago
