Jewels1986 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 When they're evaluating the detailed sketch, will they see it on its own or with the information entered in the general sketch? I'm confused because Ottawa says to note position in the detailed sketch, but I've already put that in the general one - is listing it again necessary, or redundant? When I emailed Ottawa they said only the specific one would be evaluated, though the evaluator would also have access to the general one, which didn't clarify much. Thanks very much for any help!

Talon01 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 If I remember correctly, I basically relisted almost exactly the same things but I believe there's a description box where you can add a few words about the activity which would give your interviewers a little more insight. Defintely fill out the detailed sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everyoneloveschem Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think Ottawa sends the detailed sketch to that external company for the comparisons/evaluations. It seemed that in the interview they only had the basic 48 item list, so both have a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewels1986 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 So that means they don't see it the way it is one the Internet, linked directly to what you put the general sketch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darla Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 . Once you have completed the OMSAS Autobiographic Sketch, you will be prompted to provide more specific details for several of the categories. I interpret this as the general and specific will be together. I have a new question though. They are asking for just our responsibilities but I thought we should also indicate what we've learned from our experiences. I'm currently arguing with my boyfriend/editor about this. Any insight would really be appreciated. btw, under his scheme, I still have 25+ characters left over, if learning is a bonus is that good too? Thanks folks!

Kuantum Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 My friend and I on separate occasions contacted admissions about this exact question and they told us to stick to the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Is it bad if we expanded on a few activities that were not done after secondary studies? i.e. should i go back and remove the info from the expansion before submitting? or just leave it? it says you are only required to do on ones after secondary.... will we be penalized if we had expanded on secondary ones? Don't mind quickly just taking it out... but just since I wasted the time and put them in there anyway, I wasn't sure whether to just leave them or not. Thx guys! You rock.

Satsuma Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 To my knowledge you won`t be penalized for expanding on items you did outside of post-secondary education. However, you won`t be given credit either. They just won't look at it. Also, I am not really sure about this "external company" that evaluates the sketches people are mentionning. I've seen it a couple of times. I know some staff members at school who have reviewed sketches and continue to do so who are not part of any company. Essentially all that matters though is that your sketch gets reviewed and there is a standard marking scheme. Sats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
