Hello I’m on a waitlist and currently 1st on that waitlist. I was told my position could change tho due to others marks. I’m out of hs so I can’t really up my marks, does second semester of grade 12 mid term marks count for the waitlist since those go out this Friday. I know that the finals will count but that’s in June and if I’m 1st rn hopefully I’m off the waitlist by then.
Thanks
hello,
i am fresh out of highschool but i am uncertian on what i want to do with my life. I do have a highschool diploma. For a better understanding i will leave the important courses i took in senior year with the grade;
English- 61%
Math- 68%
Chem- 51%
Any suggestions for programs?
Thanks.
hi everyone sorry if this is confusing and the wrong sr but i got to thinking and need some advice ,
i went to a alternative school and all my courses are locally developed (bad enough eh) , i am going to upgrade my grade 12 math and english to college level so i might be able to get into the pre med program then eventually go into nursing...
but when i asked my teacher for my transcript, she sent me this.. i did not realize how poorly i did and was never informed, before grade 9 i was always around top of my class for marks and didnt even continue school halfway thru grade 9 until i came back to join said alternative school .. my question is even if i do really well in upgrading my math and english for gr 12 do i even still have a chance to get accepted into college with these other grades
i worked so hard to graduate high school and still am trying to chase my dreams but this feels like a bump in the road and id like to know the truth then keep aiming for something that cant happen
I finished my RPN program with a gpa 3+.
During my school year I failed and repeated 1 course (was pregnant and had a baby).
I am looking at going into bridging to RN program but I got a lot of discouragement from people around me saying that it is impossible to get into bridging to RN program.
I am kindly throwing it out there incase anyone has succeeded with same situation.
I wanted to do a biotech program and I looked but pretty much no uni's offer a transfer pathway from college to a univserity
preferably I wanted to go from Algonquin to either Carleton or uOttawa
Im honestly scared because now I don't know what to do and I wanna be able to go to university
These are the programs I’m interested in:
TMU - Public Health
George Brown - Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees (I wanted to go to Dental Hygiene)
Seneca - Opticianry, Practical Nursing
Centennial - Pharmacist Technician
I’ve done my research on all of them and I just really need a straight forward pros and cons for the programs. I wanna be able to know which program best results in more future pathways (more successful career and job opportunities in Canada) and which program isnt as academically stressful and will allow me more time to work (really need the cash…).
I would love to hear people’s experiences! Thanks!
Note: I am posting this in a few places to get a range of perspectives on the Ontario training landscape. Thanks for taking the time to read!
I’m in Hamilton, Ontario and I am looking to get into HVAC and am starting from absolute zero in the trade. I have previously studied Tool & Die at George Brown, so I have a mechanical and precision background, but I have no experience in HVAC.
I am currently looking at Mohawk’s Heat, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (180) program since I live in Hamilton. My main concern is that this program only grants a G3 ticket. From my research, a G3 is essentially a "helper" license, and many companies seem hesitant to sign someone for a 313A apprenticeship without a G2.
I’d love to get some advice from the pros on a few things:
Should I stay with Mohawk 180? It’s the most convenient option for me, but is graduating with only a G3 a major setback for getting hired?
Should I look at Private Academies (Halton Skilled Trades, Hi-Mark, or Skilled Trades College)? These offer much shorter routes that lead directly to a G2.
Is Conestoga worth the commute? I’ve heard their program is elite for licensing and theory, but it’s a significantly longer drive from Hamilton.
Is the "shorter route" to a G2 at a private school respected by employers, or will I miss too much essential theory by skipping a full college program? My goal is to be signed as a 313A apprentice and be as useful as possible on day one.
Final note: I am genuinely just looking for information to make sure I start this career on the right foot. I really appreciate any constructive advice or stories about how you guys got your start.
Thanks for your help and Suggestions in advance.
I am having one hell of a dilemma pick between northern college and Conestoga college for heavy duty technician program. I want to go mining for a bit then go into farming back down south, both are really great imo but I want to hear others input before I pick one. Anything is greatly appreciated in what you think would be better for what I want to do.
Hey everyone, I just finished semester 8 of my degree program at Sheridan. My grades just dropped today and my Program Term GPA came out to 2.360, which is below the 2.5 requirement.
My other GPAs are all fine:
The low term GPA is because of one elective (58%) that dragged my overall average down. In raw percentage terms my semester average was 65.8% which is above the 65% threshold Sheridan lists.
On top of this, my records are on hold so I cannot see my academic standing or graduation status, even though I do not owe anything to Sheridan as far as I know.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and still graduated? Did you get an email from the Registrar about your standing? I am contacting them tomorrow but just wanted to hear from people who have been through this.
Thanks
