page_matrix Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Did I read correctly that the Supplementary Form must be physically mailed to UofM? What an odd process considering we're in the electronic age... Can you guys verify/correct me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottoncandy6827 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 is october 5th the deadline they must receive the application or just the date we drop it off at the postoffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerr Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 is october 5th the deadline they must receive the application or just the date we drop it off at the postoffice? It's the deadline when they stop accepting mailed apps. So better send your printed supp apps early and use priority mailing services to be safe.

Cottoncandy6827 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Does anyone know if they will confirm receipt of your supplemental application or transcripts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipeg204 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Does anyone know if they will confirm receipt of your supplemental application or transcripts? Unfortunately, no. If you're worried it might not make it there in time - or at all - you'd better get a tracking number for it. Always good to do anyways, just for ease of mind.

cracklebrite Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hey guys, a question on the Supplementary application. I downloaded it from the link on the website, but I can't save typed information into it when I try to save it as a PDF. Are you guys going to fill in this application by hand (i.e., with a pen)? Or else maybe put in the necessary info into a Word Doc, and copy and paste it in and print it in one go? I'm not very tech-savvy so is there maybe a way I can manipulate the PDF to get it to save the typed data? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm88 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 You can try to line up the manually in Acrobate reader and use the signature fxn to type on the form. I highly recommend that you just print and mail. Everyone mailing: send as registered letter, or if you're sending along with transcripts, use expresspost. It ends up being cheaper than individual registered letters if you send it in one expresspost envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracklebrite Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 By the way, the website says postmarked by October 5th, so as long as you post it by that date you are fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markov79 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 By the way, the website says postmarked by October 5th, so as long as you post it by that date you are fine i saw that too, and was kinda confused. it doesn't explicitly say that it has to be in by Oct 5, whereas it DOES say on the critical info sheet that it can be postmarked if sending by mail . i'm confused because at other times it just says "supp app form due oct 5". doesn't say received or post marked, but that kinda makes it sound like it needs to be received. so, i did think that it just had to be post marked, but i'd still send asap to be safe lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1234 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 i emailed the office, they said postmarked by oct 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1234 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 is U of M the only school where you don't have to enter your transcripts online? that part is the most tedious of most applications but it must be so much more work for the admin ppl?

cracklebrite Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah to be honest, I'm really weirded out by how short this application is. And the lack of detail. You can't even describe your activities. Maybe that's why they requested two transcripts? I have another question regarding the Supplementary Application...if you look under both Employment History and Volunteer Activities it says this: "Information submitted is not scored and does not contribute to the composite score but may be used for verification of information submitted in the application." I have absolutely no idea what they mean by this! Do they mean all this employment and volunteer info isn't going to be scored at all? So it's just GPA + MCAT that makes up our application? And if this information is not being scored....what is the information that they are verifying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if this information is not being scored....what is the information that they are verifying? The pre-interview formula is: (27.3%AGPA + 72.7%MCAT) X (rurality co-efficient if >0) X (academic co-efficient if >0), so it's pretty much GPA and MCAT that makes up the application. Perhaps they want to verify info in LORs or the stuff you say in the MMI (esp. the written station? Just speculation.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracklebrite Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ahh gotcha, thanks! I guess that would explain why the application has very little detail in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1234 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Btw when they saw application fee, they mean the initial fee we had to pay when we created a username and stuff? Nothing extra we needed to mail in with our supplemental? I wish they would let us monitor receipts of applicaion and transcripts online like other school, so panoriod that my stuff will get lost or not on time and I wouldn't know about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedDream Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hey guys I just thought I would run something by you all... I tutored all through my grade 12 year and although I have the first and last name of the child I tutored I totally forget both of the parents names and their last name is unlisted. Since I did this for a full year and got paid I was going to put in under the employment section.. but if I only have a last name and no phone number I thought it might look a bit sketchy. Thoughts?

Patrick1234 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 they say your ECs, employment, and Volunteer work is not scored and but if you put it down, they might verify it so I wouldn't risk it since it's not even gonna add to your application points, especially when it's something so long ago as high school .just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
