And I don't mind the questions lol Don't worry :)

I hope my answers have helped.

Yes! It is possible :)

Unfortunately, the summer courses are limited and not all the liberal courses you would like to take will be available during the summer. You will get an email sometime closer to the end of your first year of the list of available courses during the summer.

I recommend taking your required non-nursing courses during the summer as well. It's better with things out of the way.

Keep in mind, the summer/spring terms are about a month long. So, the content will be moving a lot faster and assignments/test with multiple courses can be jumbled up around the same time. Organize your time/choose your courses wisely.

I have one friend who managed to get into the program with a 50 in Calculus. However, his marks for other courses were pretty high so I guess it balanced out for him.

I do think it mainly depends on the competition for the year.

If anything, call the undergraduate office at Centennial and ask if you can upgrade your chem mark during summer school and still be considered for admission.

I hope things work out for you!

Hey flonightingale14,

I know you haven't posted anything in a month, but hopefully you'll still reply.

Can you elaborate on accepting another offer from another program and transferring to nursing first year?

Is that possible to transfer to the nursing program during first year?

Hi fmcjbr,

I apologize. I've been enjoying my summer break, but hopefully you will be able to see this answer in time.

Assuming you have applied to other programs with other universities and have been accepted to those offers, you can opt to accept those offers and spend your first year of university with that other program.

While in this other program, you work hard and keep your GPA up. When the time comes, you can apply for the nursing program again with your current marks from the program you are currently in.

If you want to apply for the nursing program at another school, I believe you need to be accepted in the program. So, you would go through a similar process as you did for applying to university (via OUAC).

If you want to apply to the nursing program at the same university, I THINK there is a difference process.

I would suggest talking to the appropriate people at your university to get more information about transferring process. That is as far as I know about the topic.

You would not get transferred right away into the nursing program. You would spend one year at another program and once you are accepted into the nursing program of your choice, you will begin your first year of nursing there. So basically, you are applying for university all over again.

Hi flonightingale14,

I hope you're having a good year, this post has been really helpful. I'm in grade 12 right now and I'm interested in going into nursing. Do you think location really matters? I live 15 minutes away from Centennial but it'll take 1.5 hours to get downtown. I think it would be nice to go to Ryerson or GB but I know commuting can really take it out of you. Do you think it would be worth saving the time and sacrifice the campus quality because 7 courses first year sounds intense!

Is it hard to get in Ryerson/collab program, because I want to get in so badly. What is the admission average?
Do they accept pre-nursing certificate??

Hi roxygen,

I only took Advanced Functions and Calculus. Taking Data Management in high school would help as we learn about statistics in second year. Remember you only need to take ONE math credit for admission into the program. I only took Calculus as I was applying for another program that required it.

And you don't need physics :)

I applied for the BScN program (both Ryerson main site and GBC/Ryerson site) through Ontario University Application Centre, not Ontario College.ca. Now, I am able to check both applicaiton statuses through Ryerson website.

Does it mean that I need to submit all my officially transcripts and important documents to Ryerson only? Or do I need to submit them to GBC as well?

What is the difference between applying through OUAC and applying through OCAS?

Thank you for your comment, flonightingale14!!

I have recieved responces from both Ryerson and GBC today. According to them, I need to submit my transcripts to Ryerson only. That is why that BScN degree from Ryerson University after all.
