Sports-Heavy OMSAS ABS?
FrannieLydon replied to YaGunnasYa's topic in General Ontario Discussions (OMSAS)
There are def great skills learning and demonstrated through sport - I too found that I had a lot of sports entires, but I grouped a lot of them together. ie. I put all my high school team sports as one entry - “student athlete” and then explained which sports I played and what teams I had leadership roles on. Then I grouped all of my undergrad intramurals and then group grad degree intramurals, with a few stand alone entries when it felt appropriate. I would say my general feeling is that you might not want to overload you ABS with individual entries that may get repetitive. A stand -

Call Lingo Explained?

Last naive question - how long is a typical call shift? Are they typically 24 hours? -

Call Lingo Explained?
FrannieLydon replied to FrannieLydon's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
This is really helpful! Is there any sort of structure in terms of what a 1in4 call would actually look like for a resident? Are the days often strung together? Or are they fairly sporadic throughout a given month? -
As an incoming med student who is fairly raw with the inner workings of the healthcare system I see people talk a lot about call and often refer to it as “1 in 4 call” or “1 in 2” etc. And then sometimes there is a distinction drawn between home call and in house call. So sometimes I’m just not exactly sure what a call schedule actually looks like when people talk about them on here. If anyone has some time and wants to explain the what all the lingo around call means that would be wonderful! ps: sorry if it’s like plainly obvious... just a bit unsure and have zero experience wi

Academic and Non-academic Reference Letter
FrannieLydon replied to guacamole17's topic in General Ontario Discussions (OMSAS)
Agree with potentially asking the teacher. Teachers can certainly speak to alot of the soft skills that schools are looking for in med applicants and perhaps in a more intimate or personal way than someone you knew in a more formal academic setting and I wouldn't underestimate the power of someone speaking more personally about the particular skills you may have deployed in a classroom setting. -

Is it rare to get in on your first or second try?
FrannieLydon replied to ceelbe's topic in McGill Medical School
I think that it is also pretty variable. I mean we all have to admit that for a large portion of successful applicants it is a bit of a lottery. If you speak with individuals with experience on Adcoms/doing interviews, they will tell you that it is pretty hard to differentiate candidates. So candidate 1 who has similar stats/ a similar application to candidate 2, might get in first try, while it takes candidate 2 a few tries. The admission process is pretty subjective at many stages – so try not to over analyze it, shoot your shot, and hope for the best! -

Any idea what card you get upgraded to? My understanding is that the Avion Infinite is one of the best cards they offer with the Avion infinite privilege being a step up (But requires a min income of $200,000 and has a $399 fee attached to it). Or am I missing other options that could work out nicer?

You could be eligible to defer your Mac offer for a year if you were successful next year and finish out the year with your PI. I think that they would likely have some flexibility given the circumstances of how it all came about. Def keep moving forward with your life/academic career. -
