hking03 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Not sure if everybody saw this already, but apparently this year if you want to apply to UBC you have to pay 50.00 to access the application and then it is credited towards your application fee.

Cerena Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 You write CASPer at the end of October. Two days to pick from and multiple time slots each day. Its actually kind of a neat test to take. Was looking through the thread and can't believe I did not thank you for the help, OIC Thanks, this helps a lot! Glad you found the CASPer 'neat.' Wonder if I'll feel the same way... eeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I came across this pdf....it lists OMSAS start date as July 7. Can anyone verify? http://admissions.ouac.on.ca/pdf/schedules/2011-2012_shutdown-startup_final.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnb88 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I came across this pdf....it lists OMSAS start date as July 7. Can anyone verify? http://admissions.ouac.on.ca/pdf/schedules/2011-2012_shutdown-startup_final.pdf It says "early July" on the omsas website, so I assume it will be opening around then +/- a couple days. I really hope this is the last app cycle I have to go through.... 3rd time's a charm right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wan2BMD Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Glad to see this thread posted! After lurking here for almost 2 years, I will be applying for the first time this cycle. Mac is my only available option so I won't get my hopes up too high. A little nervous about the process though, seems like it will be a long and tedious experience. Good luck to all who are applying this cycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj89 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I personally thought CASPer was sketchy... I'm really not sure if they even used it or not because of 1) so many technical mess-ups for some applicants 2) they didn't even have a computer station in the MMI (like they promised) to track keystroke patterns to confirm you actually did CASPer Who knows what it will be like this year!

Cass Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Awesome thread! Applying again this year and hoping that my MCAT score will be high enough to meet the cutoffs for some of the ON schools. Will also be applying to some OOP schools. I'm still debating whether or not I want to take another half credit of physics because I know Alberta and Mcgill require 1full year and many US schools require it but at the same time, physics was my worst course throughout undergrad. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacelessMage Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think the OMSAS application system is open! They still haven't put the instruction booklet up yet though. Now I just have to wait for Dalhousie (their application is delayed) and U of C (won't open now until August 1) applications to open up. EDIT: It's up, but not open yet. Hopefully it will open soon.

Mithril Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's open July 7th for OMSAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Some info in case anyone finds it useful: McMaster and UOttawa will not discriminate between 3rd year and 4th yr applicants. There are rumors that they do, and I can confirm that both schools deny this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lekarza Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Is it just me or does anyone else find the omsas format really fustrating! I hate all of the 300 character limits. I just tried typing in some requirements and it deleted everything I had because I was over the limit! Sorry just had to rant a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asta Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I find it frustrating because it doesn't display a character count anywhere. It also says specifically not to paste from word. The other apps I have done at least have the character count beside the text input box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah, the OMSAS application was about as frustrating as watching the Leafs play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
