GJaswal Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 One of my refs isn't received...but I checked with him, and he didn't even send it...b/c he's very sick. I'm totally worried as well, b/c I have no idea when he plans to send it. For ppl whose refs didn't show up, maybe you should ask if they even sent the letters.

toffeetree Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 i wouldn't worry about the references, because the omsas instructions clearly say that it's ok if they're late as long as they're in when the schools need to evaluate you, which isn't until november at the earliest.

Jochi1543 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I e-mailed them about my transcript again...I bet those retards are processing the newest mail first instead of processing it in chronological order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJaswal Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Omsas told me that when they complete a person's file, they send it off to the schools. They do it all through October, November, and December. So whenever your file is finished, they send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that schools would be inclined to start assigning interviews to applicants as they roll in (and have the qualifications). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooboomafoo Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 how do mcats work then? Because all of ours are currently labeled as pending....so nobody's is sent off yet, i'm guessing, until the 15th?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that schools would be inclined to start assigning interviews to applicants as they roll in (and have the qualifications). I dunno about the non-cutoff schools, but for Queen's/UWO, all the interview info is sent out together, and the decisions come out the same day, so this is definitely NOT rolling admissions. Now, in the US, where you actually get interviews at different times at any point between August and April, and where acceptances are doled out between October and May, there is absolutely rolling admissions.

mrgreek Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 What omsas does, and including uwo (as I walked in and asked)....if things like letters of reference or watever doesnt get sent with the package....once omsas has sent "your package" (either completely done or not)...they continue to send the schools whatever they have received....maybe that is what they meant for the months...just for references,,,as I know uwo, and omsas do allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nishi Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 a few days ago both my transcripts appeared as received, then today when i checked to see if my ref. letters were all in, it said that only one of my transcripts have been received, and the other has not. kind of weird for that status to change back??? anyway, i'm just wondering, i didn't send in my transcripts separately like a lot of people seem to be indicating that they have. i ordered them through my omsas application, and submitted by application about 1.5 weeks earlier than the deadline. i just want to make sure that we weren't expected to order our transcripts separately, because i am becoming a bit paranoid about teh status of one of my transcripts having changed to now saying that it hasn't been received. thanks Nishi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishi Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 also, just to clarify, both the universities are ontario universities, which is why i just used the omsas application to send my transcripts ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng_dude786 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 yea..i used the OMSAS ordering system and it still hasn't received one of my transcripts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishi Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 i called them today and they said they probably made a mistake and meant to check someone else's transcripts as received ~ not very good considering they got me thinking that i was 'all set to go' oh well ..
