RicardoKaká Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hey guys, So I am applying to Ottawa and McMaster this cycle and just need some help with my OMSAS application before I submit it - I am currently doing a 16 month MSc (started in September), this is a course-based MSc, but I happen to also be doing a wetlab thesis (I am really close with my supervisor of the program and my supervisor of my wetlab) - I talked to BOTH my supervisor of the program and the wetlab, and they both have ENCOURAGED me to apply this cycle So, my EXACT question is this - under the post-secondary education, it asks me for my START date and END date of my MSc.... START DATE: September 2015 END DATE: _______________ So, not sure if I should put December 2016 here (to show that its 16 months). I want to be 100% honest with admissions, but I am scared they will disqualify me for putting December? Or should I be safe and put August 2016? BUT, I have permission to apply and to end this program early if I do get accepted this year (my supervisors are willing to let me end early because I am exempted from a lot of courses and already have data for my thesis). Can anyone lend some advice or tips - has anyone else been in this situation before and applied successfully? ANY ADVICE would be DEEPLY appreciated!

Belle_MD Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't think this is a major issue - if you can end early then just put August 2016. If you get admitted then you can figure it out at that time, nothing to stress about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slumdogMD Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I agree, its not a big deal. It wont make you or break you. Your sketch and gpa are in good shape so I hope you get an interview. At this point, CASPer is your biggest hurdle I believe. Im rooting for you, dont let me down MDHopefulyMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremedToronto Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Agreed, put August 2016 and see what happens later on. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
