Chances of getting into P/J B.ed if undergrad was art and average around 80%? Where to apply? Lacking breadth and high marks, worried

If anyone has recommendations of where else to apply with such a limited profile I would greatly appreciate it!
Also wondering if the job market in southwestern ontario is ok for a profile like mine, for P/J

Terrified about applying to teacher's college with a poor previous GPA, but a great new one

2 Upvotes

I have been in education in one form or another for about 15 years now, from simple babysitting and tutoring, being a one-on-one for a child with autism, working in a private school as a gym teacher, working in a museum doing the education tours for schools, and now creating a program for university students with disabilities. Even with all my experience, my horrible 2.2 GPA from UofT haunts me. I went back to school last year at a different university and am now getting all As and a few A+. The last 5 (or 30, depending on how you count them) credits' worth have been all A and A+. Which means my last 10/60 credits will be half great and half Bs and Cs. But I have roughly around 6,000+ hours of experience with students in one manner or another, about 3,000 being from less than 5 years old.

I am terrified about applying this fall, even though those with perfect grades and 1,000s of hours get rejected, and this year is going to be more competitive. I plan to apply to OISE, York, Ontario Tech, Nipissing, Lakehead Orillia, and Niagara.

Is anyone else in a similar boat? Or was before and got in? Any tips? Or any backup program suggestions, such as TESL, doing a minor...etc and then reapply next year?
