Cndngirl118 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi, I know for the sketch there is a box for each activity that allows us to list our verifier number. I'm just wondering, do we have to put the verifier number in brackets as well, at the end of the description? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Funke Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 That seems like overkill to me. Plus characters are valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neurogirl Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I personally didn't, at least for the sketch as there is the box for it. I did however, put the number in brackets in my UofT essay, after mentioning a specific activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I thought we did need to put the number in brackets in the actual description box (not talking about the text box that has space for responsibilities and type of activity).

Cndngirl118 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, I'm also talking about the description box, not the box where we list our responsibilities etc. But a lot of my description box's are already filled, so that's why I was wondering if it was crucial to include the verifier number in there as well?

T. Funke Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oh crap, I think you are right Check out the example on the verifiers help tab. Thanks for pointing this out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prion Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Wtf... a lot of my description box are full. Why would they make such stupid rule? Also do you have to put it in the detailed description too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderpig Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think the reason that they want the verifier number in the description box is that some schools will not look at the detailed sketch. So they need to see the verifer # just by looking at the overview of your sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cndngirl118 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Prion...in the example it only shows it in the description text box, not the box where we write about our responsibilities etc. But my description box is full as well, that's why I wanted to know how essential it is to put it in both places.

future_doc Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would think that the verifier no. in the sketch is te no, you use in your essay. So, the numbers shown in your essay to indicate the verifier no. will not be in numerical order and can be all over the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the $help for your verifier list. It gives you an example of a description of an activity where the number was put down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I said it poorly, will try again. In the Application, verifiers are indicated for activities and assigned a number. As you write the essay and come to an activity that needs a verifier, the no. you put in () corresponds to the no. of the verfiier given in the Application. Therefore, in reading the Essay, as each verifier no. is given for an activity being discussed, the numbers will not be, (1) (2) (3) but (8) (3) (9). How is that?

HBP Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I will not be putting the verifier numbers in the description. It seems stupid and redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhc911 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I kind of want to be able to say that I wont bother, but at the same time, this application is so important to me that I don't want to be disqualified on a technicality... but my main choice is uOttawa, and they specifically request a detailed sketch... so I have a feeling that it isn't needed... /sigh/ I wish some of this stuff was less wishy washy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cndngirl118 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just wanted to let you guys know...I found out it's important to add the verifer # in the description box as well. So you should add it to both spots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Funke Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I know someone who got into Western two years ago without putting verifiers in description box (8)...but that's Western and that was two years ago. Hopefully, that eases your stress a little though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I know someone in Mac who didn't put it either It's not important. It's redundant and doesn't make sense--I'm not doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
