VitaminC Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hey there, I'm just starting to look at the application now, and I'm wondering how many experiences do you guys think end up fitting on the list? I know they give us a character limit but for those who have applied before, what did that roughly end up translating to, in # of experiences? Thanks!

Pantaloons Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Last year, I ended up with 38 Non-Academic activites (plus awards and employment). Basically, it was my OMSAS Autobiographical Sketch of 48 activities adapted for UBC. I had more or less equal description length for each activity. I'm going to try and apply again this year. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Did you guys notice that it's now down to 250 characters per activity? What the hell is that; so stupid. How can one explain duties, etc. in such a short amount of space? Last year it was 500 characters per activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenir001 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 just checked and the total character limit has also gone from 10k to 5k now..which is a good thing cuz otherwise would've needed twice the # of entries to fill up space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
