mydream Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hey guys! I was wondering about the questions asked to the references on the form sent my McGill. I know they ask to rank the applicants ability in different fields such as perseverance, compassion, empathy, leadership. But what other qualities are they asking the references to rank? It would be really helpful to know, that will allow me to choose my references adequately depending on which areas they know me best. Thanks again for all the help!

bjsdefz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I remember in the old reference form used in previous years, the items you mentioned were all there. I get the following qualities from the McGill Medicine Admissions site. Good luck!

Hope1 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I dont understand when you are in the admissions on internet, they ask you to write the names and everything about the references after that, what happens? They give you a link for your teachers to write(type) about you? Because I read somewhere that references wont be accepted if not sent by internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They receive an e-mail containing a link to an online form. They then fill out the form and submit it. Once that happens the status of your referee will go from SENT to SUBMITTED in MedOAS.

CREA.tive Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you very much!Could you please tell me what do they mean by "Due date" when entering the references? "Date due pour vos référants est à votre discretion - nous devons les recevoir en même temps que la date limite pour postuler au med-p." From Twitter Basically, you're free to choose the due date as long as they get the reports by March 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
