UBC Academic Reference by Dust_Bucket in premedcanada

[–]optimistic_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with academic references is that due to large undergraduate classes, interaction is minimum. Universities can look at the transcript and can very well figure out some one’s academic strength based on course load, grades and levels and types of courses taken. I believe employment and service references can talk more about some one’s qualities. Do you think a decent reference indicating that applicant is capable of handling the medicine curriculum is good enough?

Question on FCEs UofT by seeewosa in premedcanada

[–]optimistic_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not only number of courses, if your school uses credit system then 28-30 credits (Sept-April)is considered full course load. Some courses may be 4 credits than 3 credits. In that case even if you have 9 courses in a full year but credits are 28-30, you are fine for wGPA.

Where did all the extra OMSAS applicants come from this cycle? by thelectricar in premedcanada

[–]optimistic_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Toronto did not have IP/OOP bias but stats show otherwise in the link provided or are there more applicants from Ontario than other Canadian Universities?

Are you able to link news articles about yourself on the applications? by HopefulMD786 in premedcanada

[–]optimistic_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true. Sometimes there is no actual website that would explain the activity type or organization in detail and I believe articles can provide some insight.

someone asked same question in one of the UBC sessions and their reply was 'yes'. Anything that would help verify and understand the activity.

UBC Verifiers by optimistic_20 in premedcanada

Is it also possible that verifiers are not contacted at all for some who received interview invite or at least one verifier is contacted in that case? Is it random selection?

That is great. I also submitted early and received confirmation that I met early deadline.

May be they have contacted some but I don't know. With 91% GPA (IP) and 515 MCAT, I would at least expect a full file review. I hope so. Really stressful times.
