omsas sketch

[Guest bananaboat72]

hey there,

 

for the autobiographical sketch, how is it formatted?

 

are there specific headings that you place your activity under? or do you just list the activity and enter what it corresponds to (employment, awards etc.)

 

also, AMCAS requires a maximum of 15 entries, and each can have a maximum description of 1,325 characters.

how many characters does one have to describe the activity for OMSAS?

 

thanks.

OMSAS lets you have max. 48 entries I think.

OMSAS lets you categorize each entry, give a start and end date, and a very short (one line) description of the activity.

one line eh.....that's going to be tough.

It's not even a full line, it's maybe a few words. You're really just supposed to name the activity (e.g. "coached children's soccer team" would fit, but not much more). It is just a sketch, after all. You're able to give more detail in your school-specific submissions and your interviews.
