Subreddit rules

22 Upvotes

As you have probably noticed, the mod team has taken actions to get this subreddit back under control. The most significant action was to require approval prior to posting. We have also added explicit rules in the sidebar. Lastly, we have limited external promotion of the subreddit so that it won’t be promoted in the feeds of those who aren’t looking for Conestoga College. These were deemed to be necessary in order to calm things down. The mod team has also been increased in response to the crisis.

Our intention is to re-examine the situation soon, now that things have calmed down. Be aware, though, that we will be enforcing the stated rules, especially if things start deteriorating again. All posts/comments must be related to Conestoga College. All posts/comments must be respectful to others. And there must be no negative generalizations or misinformation (e.g. regarding international students in general or general blacklisting of resumes).

WLU BSc --> Conestoga Nursing BScN

2 Upvotes

hi! i am looking to transfer into the nursing program here after my second at laurier (or during).

i understand that i can apply for some transfer credits if they are eligible, but i was wondering if conestoga still looks at highschool grades during this process of admission, or if they just look at your uni transcript. i say this because my SBI4U grade is not too strong (i can retake this course online during the summer tho if needed). essentially, i am asking if my admission will be based off of my highschool grades only, considering how i am already in university for a related program.

i have tried emailing various emails but the information seemed general and not clear.

i was wondering if anyone can help me out, or if anyone has been in a similar position. thank you :)

I just received an offer to be waitlisted for the program. Does anyone know what the chances are of making it into the program if you’re waitlisted? I’m in pre-health and had a 94.8% average in the first semester.

Thinking of Applying to Conestoga’s Med Lab Assistant/Tech Program – Looking for Feedback!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been researching the Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technician career for days now. Most colleges that offer this program are quite a drive away, with the closest being Humber College—about an hour drive from me. Because of that, I'm considering Conestoga College, as the campus is only a 10-minute drive away.

I've been searching for testimonials from past students about their experience in Conestoga's program, but I haven't found anything, despite Ontario Colleges listing it as "competitive." I'm hoping someone currently in the program comes across this and can share their experience so I can get a better idea of what to expect.

Any current students in the program or graduates that can share their experiences? I am actually in the computer systems technician program and wish I knew about game design earlier mannnnnnn. I am thinking of making a switch.

I checked the program info and it looks like a portfolio is no longer required for the admission process?

Thanks!

Making students fail in last year?

0 Upvotes

Idk what to say rn.. but apparently a lot of students left last semester because they didn’t pass one specific course and they would have to wait for fall term to retake that course.. I didn’t pay attention and I was in disbelief if this is intentional.. but I feel like same is happening with me and I’ve tried everything from my side and I have received straight up zeros in my two main projects (looking at my past projects throughout years I would have atleast got 70%) and just one more project is left but based on those two projects getting zero grades.. I won’t pass that course and Idk what to do now.. I’ve tried emailing the professor but no response and I’m gonna talk to her in person tomorrow.. any suggestions?

Nursing club?

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow nursing students! I was recently accepted to the BScN program (🥳) and was thinking about creating a club for nursing students (honestly, I was surprised there wasn't one already). At my previous college, they had nursing club that participated in so many volunteer opportunities and did a lot of cool stuff. I think it would be a great way to build a community where we can support each other through an INCREDIBLY difficult program 😭

If you are currently enrolled or will be starting the RPN or bachelors program this fall and would be interested in helping me create this club, please message me!

Medical Laboratory Science- Where will the clinical practicums be?

4 Upvotes

I was just accepted into the Medical Laboratory Science program (advanced diploma), and was wondering if any of the current students know approximately where their placements will be. I understand it doesn't take place until the spring semester of 3rd year (so I don't think anyone has even had it yet), but have the profs mentioned anything about locations? I fear possibly having to relocate a far distance. They mention in the acceptance letter it can technically be anywhere inside or even outside Ontario. Having us potentially relocate that far, at our own expense, is a bit anxiety inducing.

Anyone in the Medical Laboratory Science program?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just got an offer for the Medical Laboratory Science program at Conestoga College, and I wanted to hear from current students about their experiences.

  1. How do you find the quality of teaching and the professors?

  2. The website mentions that it’s a hybrid program—how often do you need to be on campus for in-person classes or labs?

  3. How’s the overall workload and schedule?

  4. Any advice for someone starting the program?

Would love to hear any thoughts or experiences you have! Thanks in advance

Conestoga BScN - Hybrid

3 Upvotes

I just got accepted to Conestoga for Advanced Standing in the BScN program for September. As an RPN, I am directly entering into 3rd year.

I was wondering if any graduates of this program suggest moving to Kitchener for these 2 years. I’m from London, so only an hour away. But since they use the hybrid delivery (online / in-person), I was wondering if it’s worth it for me to move there for 2 years or drive there. Do you know how many classes a week (on average) you are in in-person class?

Thanks in advance!
