University Placement

Senior School students practice their critical thinking skills as they explore their post-secondary options. They are guided through the process by our University Placement Coordinator, Ms. Vera Turnbull. Individually, students meet on a regular basis with Ms. Turnbull to set goals, discuss course selection, review their Strong Interest Inventory, prepare resumes, research post-secondary options, complete applications and apply for scholarships. Most students submit their applications by late December each year. As part of the process, students in Grades 11 and 12 are encouraged to attend university presentations held on the school campus.

Applicants, who wish to apply for admission to colleges in the United States, must study for and write SAT assessments in both Grades 11 and 12 (www.collegeboard.com).

Each year, RNS graduates are accepted to some of the world's finest universities, including:

Acadia University Bishop's University Concorida University Dalhousie University Darmouth College Hampshire College Huron University College at Western Lakehead University McGill University McMaster University Memorial University Mount Allison University New York University Nova Scotia College of Art and Design Ontario College of Art and Design Queen's University Ryerson University Saint Mary's University

St. Francis Xavier University St. Thomas University Trent University Universidad de las Americas University of Gottingen University of Guelph University of King's College University of New Brunswick University of Prince Edward Island University of Southern California University of the Pacific University of Toronto University of Waterloo University of Western Ontario  Univesity of British Columbia Wheaton College York University

Students, whose first language is not English and who plan on studying at a post secondary program in North America, must study for and write the TOEFL (CAEL or IELTS) language assessment as part of the university admission process. Students who have attended high school for more than three or four years, where English is the language of instruction, may be exempt from writing these assessments for some universities. Students should meet with Ms. Turnbull to discuss this. If not exempt, students should write one of these language assessments in both Grades 11 and 12.
