tinyhumansdoc Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster here!

ruslan Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am thinking about this program too, any information will be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vHenderson Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 i kind of lost my opportunity the last year, but this year i am definitely gonna do this collecting information too for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacdo56 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I got an offer of admission to this program? Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmh2113 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ahh you're so lucky, congratulations amacdo56!! Do you mind me asking what your average was? I graduated this year with a biology degree from McMaster, I have a 84% average but I am taking the Athabasca Anatomy and Physiology course online, hopefully I can finish it by the end of March. I swear I check the UWO student center everyday, fingers crossed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKA68 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi amacdo56, I will be there in September as well. Found out a few days ago, really happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacdo56 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey! Thanks! My average was 3.86 for my undergrad and I did a 4yr Honours in Biology. I also have a M.Sc in Physiology so I don't know if that made a difference or not? And congrats to you to BKA! Does anyone know how large the accelerated class is?

BKA68 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think there are 56 spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey all, i have BSc. Kin from U Waterloo and also applied to the western CTF nursing as well and i am getting very anxious to know if i will get in or not I have not heard of anyone getting accepted until now so these must be first round offers? also BKA what is your 3.86 GPA in percent? about 85? do you know how your average was calculated exactly? and what the marks were for those admitted last year (the cutoff)? thanks!

avg Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 sorry meant to ask amacdo about the marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacdo56 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey avg, I had to use the Undergraduate GPA conversion chart that OUAC posts... the link is... http://www.ouac.on.ca/docs/omsas/c_omsas_b.pdf . Unfortunately, it will depend on the university that you went too and what grading system they implement. When I calculated my percentage it's about 87. Again I'm not sure how much my M.Sc helped me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 thanks for that. i read somewhere that last year the average cut off was 81% and i am above that, but not by much so i am stressing out a bit. not gonna lie, i realllllly am hoping that your MSc had something to do with it, but im hoping to hear soon because i finished my BSc about a year ago and have completed all of the requirements do you know of anyone else who has been accepted besides the other person in this thread? if anyone else has any input about this program post away!

amacdo56 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey no I don't know of anyone else besides this thread? Input about the program would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 well hopefully they only let in a few and lots of spots are still left! I've researched about the program a lot and it seems really good, my friend is in the fast track one at MAC and she loves it! she said its all the meat of nursing and no taking random 'electives' to fill your time. also i looked at the course outline on westerns website and there are a LOT of clinical hours, so lots of experience should be sweet! hope i find out soon!

BKA68 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi avg, they gave me a deadline to reply to my offer by march 16th so hopefully you will hear shortly after that. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 thanks! i really hope to know by around then, i honestly cannot wait any longer let me know if you hear anything else from UWO or about other people getting accepted please! alsooo, just out of curiosity, what is your education background like and GPA to get into this program?

I did my undergrad in Kinesiology then went to Teacher's College (BA and B.Ed), Low 90 average, not sure what that works out to in terms of GPA.

ruslan Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Anyone know what the acceptance average was? On the website it says the cutoff is 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmh2113 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 the website says 75 but considering there's over 500 people who apply every year and only 56 spots it is really difficult to say what a cutoff would be.. especially when many people who apply have a BSc degree and/or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 hi ruslan, i read somewhere that last year and/or the year before the cutoff for acceptances was around 81%, but it was just from one of these forums, so i dont know how reliable the source was? did you apply or get accepted?

lmh2113 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 a really nice lady at uwo admissions told me today that there have been about 10 offers made for this program and the "current cutoff" is 85%, which she said should drop as they begin to make more offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruslan Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 They average the last two years for undergrad right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmh2113 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 yup, thats right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJJib Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi everyone, Just wondering how they offered acceptance before the application deadline (march 1) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avg Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi everyone, Just wondering how they offered acceptance before the application deadline (march 1) ? hi mariejjib, as lmh said above, they only sent out about 10 offers before the deadline and they were to the students with highly competitive averages and even a completed Master's degree for the previous poster. so far since those offers I have not heard of anything else...
