Jixe Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 It says on their website: updated June 30/06: Applicants are limited to half a printed page of Employment Experiences. The half printed page is based on a formatting criteria for the MD Undergraduate Admissions Office use, your screen print of this section may be more or less than a half printed page. Please refer only to the % remaining in the count-down message in red font. When I started mine it says this: Your point form list has 75.0 % space left to complete three printed pages. Surely this is an error, no? Does this mean we should aim for there to no less than 83.33% space left? [1-(100/6)] Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hey, I just called the Admissions Office about this, and they told me that it was probably a typo (re: three printed pages) on the system, and that I should just go by the percentage left.

Thanks very much. In the end, they'll end up with 3 pages then I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Okay. I just called them as well, and explained to her that the red % really allows more than 3 pages in print preview. She said their formatting really squishes everything into half a page. I asked about the MCAT and whether a low score in a section may hinder you (worried about VR myself) and she said not to stress about it if your other sections are great and prereq grades may make up for it. I wish I had done English earlier then! Speaking of English prereqs, you would just e-mail them with your intent to finish the courses with a course description, etc.? Thanks!

Jixe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Where is employment information considered in the application? As part of the non-academic score out of 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hey Jixe, I'm glad that you called them as well to double-confirm! I was asked to email them the course description for a second orgo course I'm taking to finish their orgo pre-requisite. But just to be sure, I just emailed them the descriptions for all the courses I took since I don't go to UBC. I think you're right...they probably consider your employment in your non-academics...unless you count school as your job...lol...j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
