Agreed. There likely are other threads for this. -

Changing Essays year to year

The answer to this is something that only the admission committee would know. If you feel that you have a strong essay I’d work on other parts of your application that you feel you could improve more! (I’d also get more people to read your essay for better feedback) -

Mcmaster vs Dalhousie
boggie111 replied to summergirl25's topic in Dalhousie University Medical School
PGY 1 at Western here. While I can't comment on Mac specifically, I went to Dal as OOP and it was the best 4 years of my life. The friends, connections, and memories I've built in that beautiful province will last a lifetime. Of course I am biased, but I would highly recommend going to Dalhousie. It should not negatively impact your chances of coming back to Ontario for residency, but that being said I would have been more than happy to do my residency at Dal. Good luck! -

Acceptance letter release date?

PGY 1 here, accepted in 2015 as OOP with score of ~ 74. I know that this was 5 years ago, but there is definitely hope! -

Supplemental Form Activities - Word Limit
boggie111 replied to Rabeprazole's topic in Dalhousie University Medical School
When I was applying I think it was something like 500 characters. You're gonna get an error if you enter text longer than a certain amount of words/characters, so I would just enter a lot of text, save it and it'll tell you what the limit is in the error message...that's how I found it. -

Submit Same OOP essay?
boggie111 replied to MD_endgame's topic in Dalhousie University Medical School
I would probably change it slightly just to be safe - update it with things you learned from having applied one cycle and having gone to interview. -
No one knows except for the admission committee. Just do your best and stop worrying about things you can't control.

I strongly agree with the above post, especially since I was an OOP student. -

Submitted vs Accepted vs Published Research
boggie111 replied to Nyxia's topic in CaRMS and CaRMS applications
I just did CaRMS this year and Publications had a few drop down menus, which included (but not limited to) abstract, poster, article, conference. The only formal way to identify whether a publication has been submitted/accepted vs published is by filling out the field "Publication web link". I was in this situation and for my submitted publication I just didn't fill out the publication web link. As to whether 4 submitted vs 1 published project have a difference in weighting is anyone's guess. Each program of each school will place different value on different things. Really can't answer -
Supplementary Application Help
boggie111 replied to audacious055's topic in Dalhousie University Medical School
Agreed with all of the above - while keeping in mind that you should write your essay with the CanMEDS roles in mind, it's absolutely PARAMOUNT that you talk about what you have learned through your experience and how that relates to why you want to study medicine (e.g., learned the importance of humility through experience A, which will be invaluable in medicine because of reason A, B, C...you get the idea). -
