Guest Biochem10 Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi. I just checked the website today and they said they received one of my references that wasn't up yesterday. They must be updating it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BCgirl Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 I released my scores when I wrote the test in Aug 2001 and I had an ASR sent to OMSAS this summer just in case they don't keep the scores from year to year. I 'm not sure if you have to do that or not... maybe you should email or call OMSAS to make sure. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slew84 Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Thanks BCGirl, I did send an email to OMSAS. I'll let you know how they respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slew84 Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Lisa Browning wrote back to me to say that if my scores were released to OMSAS at the time of writing then they should be on file. She offered to double check for me if I gave her my SIN. I'm really amazed how nice and helpful the OMSAS people are considering how busy they must be!

Guest doctorfunk Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 I'm worried that my referee packages never made it to the OMSAS office. I provided regular stamped envelopes (no tracking number) to my referees, and they indicated to me quite a long time ago that they had placed them in the mail. When I checked my application status, however, it states that two of the three are currently outstanding. I don't know what to do because the site says that no confirmation of referee packages reception will be given until November (the question mark link). Any suggestions?

Guest MayFlower1 Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Doctorfunk, I have contacted OMSAS about this very issue. In my case, one of the three were "outstanding". When I contacted my referee she indicated she had sent it. OMSAS said they never received it. I called her back. She called OMSAS directly and made arrangements herself to get them the evaluation/letter of reference. The OMSAS folks were extremely friendly and helpful. They indicated that the reference letters don't have to be in by the 15th. Apparently they are extremely backlogged. They indicated that if the letters are still "outstanding" at the time they update their website they will still accept letters from your referees. I would call them back after the date they said they would be updating their website. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doctorfunk Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 >I would call them back after the date they said they would >be updating their website. which presumably is Nov 1st, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MayFlower1 Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 I thought I remembered them saying after November 7th when I talked to them on the phone...but I could be wrong. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namgalsip Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 I just got off the phone with OMSAS. They said that they have 15000 letters waiting to be keyed into the web accounts. They are currently finishing up the "A's" so it can take a while (hence the Nov. 1st explanation). In any case, if your file remains incomplete, they will give you an opportunity to re-submit your letters (here's their chance to make them better. It gives you more time to suck up :rollin ). Hope this helps, Nams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DHP62 Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 So its not a big deal that one of my references hasn't even been sent yet and probably won't be sent for a week or 2? Is it a big deal that the "sending of my application to each school may be delayed"? I was freaking out when he told me it wasn't in yet!! But now I'm feeling better...

Guest Shahenshah Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 yeah DHP62..don't worry..referees do have a leeway in terms of getting things sent..but of course if it hasn't reached by say nov 15, be concerned then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erinsmom2bmd Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Just wanted to let everyone know that my OMSAS file was updated today. This morning all my references read "currently outstanding". I just checked again and they all read "received"! My last name begins with F. So if they are updating the files from A-Z, they're somewhere around F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest batman Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 what about MCAT scores? I wrote it this august, and i just got the score report in the mail and it says they've been sent to "700". Will the OMSAS verification system always say the scores are "pending", or do they get filled in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erinsmom2bmd Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Sorry Batman. I only applied to MAC. Can anyone else help with the update of MCAT scores on the OMSAS website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirsteen Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hi guys, My last name is right up there near the beginning of the alphabet; my last two references are not yet received (although I have confirmation from Canada Post that OMSAS have had them for a while) nor are my MCAT scores acknowledged. I wouldn't be too frightened at this point. OMSAS do send out that confirmatory letter in a few weeks, telling you exactly what they have received, and exactly what they have not, as well as the marks they have for you. In previous years you had the opportunity at that point to correct any oddities in your file. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doctorfunk Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 i just checked also, and all my reference letters have been received! (first part of the alphabet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SoHo Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 My references have also been received. I'm in the middle of the alphabet and one of my references was actually sent after the Oct. 15th deadline. But my MCAT is still "pending". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bad hombre Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 same as above. last name around middle of alphabet, all refs received, mcats still pending, transcript only requested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
