T-cell Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi all, I haven't looked into the ABS thing too much yet, but do we need 8 activities in total or is 8 the max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itop90 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Have you found out yet? I am wondering that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernau Morat Gurgeh Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 It says somewhere in the PDF that the maximum number of entries is 8, implying that you could have less than that. However, I imagine it's in our best interest to have as many of the entries filled as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abouttimeijoined Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 You can have as many as u went in the general sketch for omsas but for western's abv. sketch MAX 8 2 each representing diversity, teamwork/leadership, social accountability/responsibility, and self-directed learning/critical inquiry.

Jon Snow Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 For one of the ABS entries can I talk about multiple sketch entries. E.g. I have played on several soccer teams, and coached soccer which were different entries on my OMSAS sketch. I want to emphasize commitment to a team and what playing at different levels of competitiveness has highlighted - but it is stretching across OMSAS sketch entries...

I'm also not sure about this, anyone able to provide some insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I just got off the phone with admissions and they weren't extremely helpful. The only real take-away I got is that this section is for us to add information that we feel is appropriate. I think as long as the verifier is appropriate for everything you mention it should be fine. They also wouldn't say what portion of this application is factored into their interview/acceptance decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-cell Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Did they emphasize at all how the scoring system will work? It says max 8 entries but anywhere from 4-8 entries and then mentions that using the same activity for more than one entry may result in decreased scoring. However, will simply having 4 entries only also result in a lower score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just include whatever we think will help the admissions team understand a holistic outlook for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
