[Providing low-cost application review services]

I am a current MS1 at UofT looking to provide low-cost application help for anyone that needs someone to look over their: OMSAS, ABS, Calgary Top 10 etc. Ideally I would love to do it free (I've helped out a few people on this forum for free already over the summer) but with med school starting up + me working part-time to help pay for med school, my schedule is super tight. Just looking to cover what I would make at my part-time job so I can find the time to help with apps. 

I know that a lot of professional med review companies charge insane prices and not everyone has friends to help review their apps. I applied as a third year undergrad with a 516 (130/128/130/128) last year and got interview invites to Toronto, Mac and Ottawa. If interested, shoot me a message on PM101 and we can discuss what you need help with.

[CMA Memberships]

The CMA website said that it provides free membership for medical students. As an incoming 2024, is this something I have to register for myself, or does my medical school (Toronto) provide more information about this later on?

[Who to list for Awards?]

For university awards (e.g. entrance scholarships, merit scholarships): the school/program will/should designate someone in administration to verify. My program identified an administrative assistant that we could use as a verifier. If you program/school does not designate someone, try emailing the awards department at your university or your faculty office (if you come from a smaller program). These awards usually show up on your transcript and are easy to verify for admin.

For research awards: I won a few poster presentation awards and had trouble tracking down the conference organizers. In that case, I used the PI who I worked with on the project (who was also aware of the award).

For leadership/community awards: Contact the community organization to request a verifier.

Email well in-advance so you can confirm someone will be able to verify. I would strongly discourage against using yourself.
