Potter Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm wondering whether other grad students are including accepted papers, abstracts, posters, oral presentation at conferences in their sketch? Since Ottawa no longer has the grad review committee, do you think it's worth putting these things in the sketch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobes74 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Absolutely yes! These things all help to show your accomplishments and achievements in your academic career- whether or not there is a "grad stream." And although you're correct that Ottawa no longer has a grad stream, Toronto does take productivity into account when looking at grad student applicants and Queens will also take a 2nd look at grad students who may not meet MCAT cutoffs, but otherwise have a solid application. Definitely list these things, they make up part of your academic record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks for the input! So would you include being accepted at an international conference as "other"? or would you include these types of things under "awards/accomplishments" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potter Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I just realized what a silly question that is...it should all probably go under research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
