Western Compressed Nursing Program Fall 2014

fingers_crossed · Feb 14, 2014

I applied. My application is not yet complete because Western has not yet processed one of my transcripts. If I remember from looking at a thread from last year, I think people may have started getting responses by late february/early March, but I'm not sure. If I find the old thread I'll post it.

Ok found the thread: https://allnurses.com/canada-nursing-programs/2nd-entry-nursing-809418-page3.html

One person says: "Mar 8, '13 by nfeigeI spoke with the academic counsellor at Western and she said that they've already sent out offers to individuals with averages above 88%. They started sending them out even before the deadline."

It also looks like someone got admitted as early as February 28.

Ah ok, thanks! I have an offer from York that expires on Feb. 26 so I was kind of hoping to hear from Western before then, but oh well!

I was offered admission to Western today! I will be accepting after I cancel my acceptance to York (so a spot will be opening up for those waiting to hear from York!). Can't wait to hear from my future classmates!

Hey gatsby09, what was your average? I also applied for the nursing program, but I havent heard whether I have been accepted yet, and I was wondering what average you have and from what university. Thank you

I had a 9.1/10 cGPA (an A I think) from uOttawa, I finished a degree in Biomedical Sciences. I also have about 2 years of volunteering in the hospital and research experience, so I don't know if that contributed as well. Hopefully you hear back soon!!

Hey! I got an 3.89 cgpa for my last 60 credits (10 full-course equivalent) according to OMSAS 2014. How will Western convert it into a specific percentage, since OMSAS only provides a range of percentage for each OMSAS value? Thank you.

I did- thats why I'm worried about what marks I will need to maintain to be accepted
