Oak Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 For medical school applications, we had to manually enter every one of our activities, the dates, duration, and hours per week (or total hours), and then verifier information. I'm wondering, for CaRMS application, do we have to enter our ECs/research/etc in as much detail as the med school applications? or do we just send them a comprehensive CV? Thanks!

wildcard Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have a similar question about the Accom/Interests section of the application. Should we include 'interests' outside of medicine - if so, how do you do that in a way that doesn't sound lame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incepted Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think you can talk in detail about a few activities that you are passionate about. Having it in the form of a list does seem kindda lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I think my question was more asking about if carms requires all the details of our activities/involvements: i.e. the specific hours per week / total hours, commitment level (descriptions), verifiers, and things like that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebox Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 No hours or verifiers required. Just the dates to and from and descriptions. You also have to send a CV to most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 No hours or verifiers required. Just the dates to and from and descriptions. You also have to send a CV to most places. For CARMS, how far back into an applicant's past should be included? i.e. compared to OMSAS where it starts from the age of 16. Also for CARMS are only the M.D. transcripts evaluated or do the programs wish to see all transcripts from other undergraduate degrees and graduate school?

There are no specific guidelines as to how far back you go. It seems to be to your personal discretion and how significant you feel your activities are. Some programs require undergrad transcripts - they tell you on the carms website under program descriptions whether or not this is the case.

Though medical schools tend to go by Pass/Fail grading, are grades a significant factor for Carms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darla Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Though medical schools tend to go by Pass/Fail grading, are grades a significant factor for Carms? From what I understand when talking to program directors - no. They use any awards you've received and your grammar/ability to argue in your personal statement as a proxy for your intelligence.
