filter105 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wait, I'm confused are you suppose to apply for bursary and scholarship before you get your admission? @_@ That doesn't make any sense!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steezyP Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I also found it odd that we had to apply for the Schulich scholarship before we knew about admissions. I explained in the Admission Bursary application how I hadn't given too much thought to finances yet because that would be like raising hopes for admission and would make the defeat more crushing. Good luck to all you deserving people applying for the Schulich Scholarship, man that would be a sweet reward for all the premed hardships we endured!

It is because the scholarship is suppose to be a reason to come to the school. If you don't know you would get it how can it be useful to you in deciding which acceptance to take?

But I'm sure after the interview weekend several applicants would choose Western even without the financial incentive. In any case, at least it forces you to start considering finances rather than remain in an oblivious bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I was just taking a look at the OSAP Estimate that I used to fill in the expected OSAP section of the bursary form, and I realized that I mistakenly selected the '4th year', Medicine - 4 year program (34 week length) rather than the '1st Year Medicine-4 Year program (40 week length) for the plan of study. In doing this, it looks as though I underestimated my OSAP by over $2000. (I'm guessing this is because if the difference in program length) :S Does anyone know if I should contact the finance office and try to make a change to the application, or will it all sort itself out later when I fill out the actual application?

We hope that would be true - Western really is an amazing school Finances are important of course but one think I love about Canada is that if you can get into medical school regardless of your background you can afford it. That is a pretty awesome thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclawfjj Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 just to make sure, you can strictly apply for the bursary, and not the scholarship? and also, filling this out has no bearing on my chances of getting in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure whether I am on people's ignore list or something, but can anyone answer my questions? If you are unsure what I mean, let me know and I will clarify.

robinre Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm not sure about the bursary/ scholarship part of your question, but I think the deadline passed anyway. Wrt chances of getting in, it has no effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
