Awards in year of application

[AB27]

Sorry if this has been asked already, couldn't find an answer. I'm receiving two pretty big (for me anyway!) academic awards this year but the actual date I'll receive them is after the OMSAS submission deadline. Can I still include this?

You have officially already received them? It is ok to include awards I think you have formally obtained but the ceremony for it is later etc.

Yeah if there is formal proof you recieved it then I think you're good. If you "think" you're going to get it (maybe because you hit a certain GPA for example), but they have not yet officially sent out the award then I dont think thats okay

@rmorelanI got an email in the summer saying I would receive it and another last week saying I'm the recipient + the ceremony details.
