astr1x Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hey guys, do you know if there's any way to check whether or not OMSAS has received your reference letters and transcripts? I'm always paranoid that they might have gotten lost in the mail or something :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always paranoid that they might have gotten lost in the mail or something :SOMSAS will update your application with this information once you submit your app and pay the fees.

RichardParker Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am sorry if this questions has been asked before, I did try searching. I am filling the responsibilities box for OMSAS but the character length shown on MS word does not match OMSAS' count. I am pressing enter after each point so that they appear on separate line (like bullet points). Is pressing enter counted as one or two characters by OMSAS?

fallingawake Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Would I be able to list "blood donor" on my sketch under "Other"? I've done it since I was of age and I started because a close family member was diagnosed with a blood disorder. It's something I'd like to refer to in my essay as well.

MD2019_A Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I went to University of Toronto Mississauga campus. But OMSAS only has UofT as an option for the institution and not the specific campus. Does that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekarza Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 so I just received this really random email from the Medical College of Wisconsin and I wanted to get peoples opinion on it. I'm not sure if this is a scam or what so any feedback would be appreciated! This is the first part of the email that was sent to me: Recently the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW ) received from the AAMC your new MCAT results. Our Admissions Committee believes that, should your academic and supporting credentials complement these scores, you may be a competitive candidate for the entering class of 2012. Please allow me to briefly introduce you to MCW. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pressing enter after each point so that they appear on separate line (like bullet points). Is pressing enter counted as one or two characters by OMSAS? I believe spaces counts as characters on OMSAS. So don't skip lines to save characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallingawake Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but for the Ottawa formal education details, it states that you need "the equivalent of two full-year courses from the following chemistry courses: i) general biochemistry without laboratory session..." My question is would a general biochem course with lab count as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Dumbest question in the world.... Why can't I access AAMC/MCAT to release my scores on my laptop? Whenever I click on the AAMC/MCAT link in google, or physically type it into the address bar, it says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.... Diagnose conntection problems... etc". If I do it from my blackberry it works so obviously it's not the AAMC site itself (but I don't know if I should attempt to do what I need to do from my blackberry). But why the F can't I get it to open on my laptop???? I remember having this issue last year (on the same laptop). I just went to another computer in the house and did it and it was fine. This year, since I'm on my own, all I have is this one, so I need to figure out why I can't get onto the AAMC website! If no one knows why, I guess I'll try and do it on my blackberry, but I like having a slightly bigger screen to work with........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Have you tried restarting the PC?What is your operating system? I have windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 or 9. I just phoned my bro in AB and asked him to see if the website works for him (he has the same computer and OS as me) and it works for him. WTF... It's like my computer doesn't want me to be able to release my scores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Go to firefox.com and install that. It's more reliable than Internet Explorer in general. That HAS to work, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That HAS to work, lol My bro told me to download google chrome and try it. It works However, he tried it using both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.... and it works for him on both. Still confused why I couldn't get it to work on IE. Which is better- IE, GoogleChrome, or Firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
