Guest JMN048 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi, What a great site! I am applying for NOSM for the 2007 class - any words of advice for the written application? Anything would be helpful. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear, and to those who are in - I hope I will be there next year. JMN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NurseNathalie Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 JMN, What I would suggest, is to start early- You want to give yourself time to be able toreview, revisit, revise and polish your ABS answers. This takes time. I would also suggest having different ppl read your ABS and give you their honest and frank opinion about how your answers come accross. Are you able to convey your opinions AND your 'essence' in your answers? good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bp048 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi JMN; I am confussing about application preparation, i have two question. please answer these question. 1) some people say that in autobiography or essay you must mention 40-50 activities, so if i had some activities but their is no contact person available so what i can do. 2) In autobiographycal sketch question, they have five question, so these question change every year? Please gave me the question for last year thank you Rodovan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMN048 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi, I believe that the ABS is 48 lines long but I am unsure. I also believe that you need someone to verify the activity that is listed. I would love to pass on the questions they ask. Unfortunately, I am not sure of them, and wonder if they change anyways. If you read through this site you will find others talking about the questions generally. I think they include: why do you want to study medicine? What attributes do you bring to the study of medicine? What do you know about rural medicine? If anyone out there is rading this, please feel free to add comments/guidance. I am unsure of my comments are correct or not. The application comes out in July! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krismd Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I can give you an idea of what the questions were for the past two application cycles. They were identical, so this year's likely won't have changed that much. They were: -why do you want to study at NOSM -how your work, life and academic experiences have prepared you -community involvement -activities and interests -learning with technology -enjoyable learning experience I personally thought the questions were really good and allowed me to draw from a lot of different experiences. Just start early and revise, revise, revise! Good luck with your applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LindaMed Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yikes Rodovan, I'm sure everyone here would love to help you with your questions reg. applying to NOSM- but we can't actually answer your application questions for you. Why are you really applying to NOSM- why do you want to come to school here?? When you can answer those questions for yourself- that will be to answer to your question. Only you know why you want to go to NOSM- none of us can help you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northerndoc Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Rodovan, You need not stress about a "right" answer. There is no "right" or "wrong" or one that the admission committee is looking for. They are looking for information about you that is true and supports the experiences that you have had. These answers need references, which only you can provide. Some important advice that I can hand out is be honest and do this yourself, ensure that your answers are logical, gramatical and with correct spelling. These questions are a way that the committee can pick the people who will be the best MD's, not those who can surf the net and compile the best answers and idea from others. The questionaire is not a research project. Best of luck with your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMN048 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi Rodovan, I agree with the other posts. Sit down, grab a coffee, and think about your answers. Think about yourself and your life and let your thoughts lead you to what you feel the best answer is... I am flattered that you may think I will have the right answer! But my answers are unique to me, as yours to you. Get a friend to review your answers, put them in a drawer, and then review them in a couple of weeks. The most important component of your application is that it is yours. If it is meant to be, it will happen! Jaimie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
