LostLamb Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 don't forget to factor in the cost of transcripts if your school does not provide them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 don't forget to factor in the cost of transcripts if your school does not provide them for free. Transcripts are usually pretty cheap, no? At my school they were $5 each for an official transcript. Make sure you send these early, though! It will get it out of the way and you won't be panicking. My friend sent hers in pretty late and it almost screwed her over :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Does anyone know the total cost of applying to 5 OMSAS school and all the OOP schools? I'm just asking, to determine the max possible cost of application. I'll be working through them one by one this week to see where I'm eligible etc... but an estimate would help, thanks I've looked this up for you, since I'm trying to avoid thinking about how my dreams are all going to be crushed tomorrow (but hopefully not). Maybe good karma will come my way? OMSAS $595 (for 5 schools. add another $85 for the 6th school.) UBC $189 ($158 oop application fee + $31 oop transcript fee) Calgary $150 Alberta $115 Sask $125 Manitoba $95 for early-bird applications ($125 two weeks before the deadline) McGill $85 (I'm not 100% sure. This info wasn't very clear) Memorial $75 Dalhousie $70 These numbers can change for next year. They were the ones from this current cycle. I skipped french schools with the assumption you're not applying there. Also, I don't know how much transcripts cost (as I've never had to pay for one) so you'll have to factor in that cost. General point: don't be surprised if you end up spending over $1000 in application fees alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Transcripts are usually pretty cheap, no? At my school they were $5 each for an official transcript. Well...the cost there adds up as well, when you are applying to 11 med schools and if you have attended more than one university or have completed more than one degree. I believe transcripts are 10 bucks at most ON schools, free from McGill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Well...the cost there adds up as well, when you are applying to 11 med schools and if you have attended more than one university or have completed more than one degree. I believe transcripts are 10 bucks at most ON schools, free from McGill! They are $15 from my school, plus I have a few random courses from two other schools, so getting 3 transcripts per app definitely adds up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry- 5 people are going to be waitlisted tomorrow because you're going to be holding their spots at all the ON schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think it's $10 for a transcript at UofT. But I also need to get one from Malaysia and that's going to be ****ty lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumanmacbook Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 never too late to learn about free body diagrams and newtonian mechanics! I keep telling myself that I <3 them. It's love. No matter how hard she hits you, you're in love. No matter how hard she spites you and rejects your advances, keep loving. No matter how many times she says "no" to you asking her out keep loving. She's a tsundere, doesn't mean she can't be cute and she will rock your world. You cannot be happy without her. But once you get her, you will be happy. it's called self-brainwashing. Other people call it misaligned motivation, but I like it. Apply to MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Heading over to the friends' house. Plan for the next ~30+ hours: dinner, movies/board games/video games, sleep (probably not), avoid checking email until everyone's awake, go for a run, check email, call a bunch of people, go out. It sounds good in theory, but in practice the time is going to drag by. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I also want to add...i am so lazy today that i don't even want to leave the house. Is this you today: ? Hehe! Sorry, couldn't resist! (If anyone can explain the monkey masks in the video, I would be thankfull....) Also, LL, are you heading to Stars on Ice this weekend? I am going to be so thankful when all my courses are done (which should hopefully be near the beginning of June). I'm not leaving this one until the last minute that's for sure (learning a semester's worth of info in less than a week is not the best way to succeed... or maybe it is. I guess I'll see when I get my marks back....). I really hope this all helps me for next year, and that I only need to go through one more app cycle. I'm becoming quite jaded with the whole process. My idealism and naivite (not just with the med app process, but even life in general) is slowly deteriorating and making me more of a pessimistic optimist. Please med schools! Save me before I detiorate into a full-blown pessimist! Haha! Good luck to everyone waiting to hear tomorrow (and in a week)! Hopefully you guys all hear good news!

LostLamb Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 yes, that pretty much sums up my motivation. i think after a full semester of going non-stop but actually excelling at what i have done permits me to take a day of rest.

Even the Big Guy up there took a day of rest Haha! Of course it's allowed! And I'm glad it went so well! (Hopefully next week will go even better for you ) Omg... Started learning the partnering for the new diamond dance I'm learning- I'm going to end up killing myself on it. Or splatting flat on my face. Several times I'm sure:o Good luck everyone waiting to hear from the Ontario schools! Less than 24 hours for you guys! EDIT: kyla... omg- I love shiba inus! My auntie has one! Such a gorgeous dog! An escape artist though- I think she should have named her Houdini as opposed to Rigs! They're very snooty dogs though. Princess-like almost. Still so cute though!
