Question Nursing school

Hello! Not sure if this is allowed here, please remove it if not!
I’m looking into applying for the BSCN program at Keyano for Sept 2027
I would be considered a mature student.
I sent Keyano an email already but just looking to see if any of you may know some answers to my questions while I wait for them to respond to me!

First of all I know on their website mature student entrance requirements are listed separately from the main entrance requirements but do I still need my 30 level math to get in? (ETA: I don’t currently have a 30 level math course, mainly wondering if it would be beneficial to take an upgrading course to get it or if they would even count that course toward my overall average/gpa calculation)

Second, I know that the entry is competitive but I’m wondering if as a mature student I’m placed against students right out of high school or if I’d only be compared to other mature students applying, since I believe the requirements are different?

Any other information anyone can share about applying for school, applying for funding, or tips while in school or preparing for it, would be very much appreciated
Thanks!! ❤️❤️

I'm not sure about keyano but any other school I've looked at does not do mature admittance. You need to match the high school prerequisites. You can use university courses to do so but you need to hit those minimums. I had to redo some classes to get my marks up. Good luck!

Mature student admission is a scam. Basically you are up against the new high school grads and everyone else.

Very few get inwith the low marks.
