medschoolapp Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 hey everyone! I'm really hoping to get some input/advice on what I should do. When applying, I hesitated between adding a specific activity to my ABS or just leaving it out. It has to do with a personal experience. Before entering it, I really contemplated whether I would be able to talk about this activity if I were ever to receive an interview invite and be asked about it. Because of recent events, I realized that I definitely will not be able to talk about it in front of a panel if I get an interview. I desperately want to remove it but I'm not sure if that's something that's possible? Has anyone ever experienced something similar? I know OMSAS doesn't allow it. Should I contact UOttawa and ask if it can be removed or how does it work? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t remove anything on the ABS after you submit your application - they won’t budge even if asked prior to interview invites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyAndHopeful Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Like Cardiac Arrhythmia said, I don’t think that’s possible. I will say that right before my interview, they told me to let them know if any question made me feel uncomfortable/if there were any questions I didn’t want to answer. So I think telling them you’re uncomfortable speaking about it, if they do ask you, would be ok. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
