DocAndy Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have a few questions regarding if and where a few things belong in the supplemental information. Should I include my honors thesis? Since it's school work there isn't really a spot for it but I spent at least 25 hours a week in the lab and participated at a couple conferences that aren't part of the thesis program. How would you guys list this? Thesis in extracurricular and conferences in awards and accomplishments? What about things like coaching? I wasn't paid so I assume it counts as volunteering? Do they reorder your entries if they feel it should be in a different category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojjanhorse Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 no they don't re-order the listings. I had to physically move everything down myself. If you went to a conference, put that as an achievement ONLY if you actually presented there. I put my presentation in a conference in medical related as I presented on medically relevant research. As for thesis project... I included that in the details for my volunteering experience in one of the labs i worked at while undergrad. I simply wrote down: Neuroscience lab assistant / volunteer and details: blah blah thesis course, blah blah, NSERC, attended conferences, contributions recognized on paper (PMXXXXX).

spring Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is a little off topic but for the supplemental information, they ask for activities from the past 5 years. Does this mean that I can't include other activities that I have done earlier in my essay? I am done writing my essay and I am now worried that I will have to change it completely if that is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am done writing my essay and I am now worried that I will have to change it completely if that is the case Related question, there are some activities that I started when I was 14 (6-7 years ago) and have continued up until now, can I list the start date as more than 5 years ago? Or can I only get credit for having been involved in them for the past 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegedude22 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 In the scoring you only get credit for the last 5 years; however, you can touch on your (lengthy) experience in your essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
