slimduck Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hey guys, does anyone have any insight on how the top 3 activities of each section will be used? Will these be the only activities screened pre-interview, and used to allocate interviews? Any insight is welcomed thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InNeedofMD Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hey yeah I emailed them a while back and they said that the top 3 are considered for the ABS scoring. Which means you should choose things wisely and honestly in regards to how they prepared you for medicine. Make sure you have verifiers that are not family or friend for them or they will discard your application. slimduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkPassenger Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 So does this mean that we shouldn't even bother putting anything other than our top 3 in each category? Meaning, only have 3 activities in each category? I'm only applying to Ottawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should include all your normal activities for ABS and then be able to click which ones are in your top 3 for each category.

Yes, they do not consider others. I think they changed it to narrow down proper entries vs. random cookie-cutter volunteer positions. Many schools are going this route so choose activities that have quality (i.e. long-term, most learning experiences etc...). slimduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
