Omsas [[ Help Please ]]

[desperate_premed]

I'm so sorry if this is a dumb question or has been addressed already, I just can't figure it out. 

 

If I'm taking a course right now on a non-degree basis (because I already graduated) at my home institution (to fulfill pre-reqs) am I supposed to list this course too? Are we including the courses we are taking right now and we have no grades for? Should I just say that I graduated or do I have to mention anywhere in app that I am taking a course right now?

 

I would appreciate your help.

One of the OMSAS "Help" pages indicates that currently enrolled courses should NOT be listed. I suppose anyone who's interested will find that information on your transcript.

Thank you! 

 

Should I still add another entry in my ABS and say "X University - Non-degree" ? Should I mention any where at all that I'm currently attending?

Unless the pre-reqs you're fulfilling are for ontario med schools, which I assume it probably isn't, I don't think it's necessary. You should call them to confirm.

I posted a similar question to this, but I'm taking my course at a different university than the one I graduated from. I called OMSAS and they said to include it in the post-secondary education section and to request a transcript just as proof that I'm enrolled. Since you're studying at your home institution, I assume it will already be on your main transcript so you wouldn't need a second entry.

 

As for the Sketch, I also asked if I should include it and they said they aren't allowed to advise us about the sketch...I'm including it anyway because there was no way for me to specify in the post-secondary section that I'm taking just one course on a non-degree basis (I had to choose a program and degree even though I don't technically have one :S). 

 

Hope that helps!
