Application Q's: Autobiographical Sketch and Submission

[Guest NDtoMD]

Hi there,

 

Just wondering if Mac requires both the autobiographical sketch and the 5 question autobiographical submission or just the 5 questions. If the autobiographical sketch is required, I am under the impression that applicants can give a maximum of 48 items---is this true?

 

Also, once I have registered with OUAC, is there an option to save and return to the application before sending it, or am I required to do it all at once?

 

Thanks!

Mac as I recall requires both the autobiographical sketch and the answers to the 5 questions. There is also a maximum of 48 items on the OMSAS list. Finally, yes you can save your progress and fill out your application in multiple sessions.

Thanks for your quick reply! Do you (or anyone else) know if there is a word limit for answering the 5 questions?

For mac .. I believe it is 700 words maximum per answer, although that may change .. check OMSAS

Just wanted to clarify that the limit is 700 characters, NOT 700 words. 700 characters is only a short paragraph, so quality, not quantity, is definitely the key.

 

Cheers and lots of luck,

only 700 characters...that's very short! I guess being concise is the key! Thank you!
