stickynote Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi! Can anyone clarify which which schools in Ontario look at the ABS? From what I can tell Toronto, Ottawa and Queens look at it heavily? Can anyone confirm? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 What you posted above is correct. Also, Mac does not look at it at all, not sure about Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 3, do you think there's a hierarchy within them in terms of how they look at the ABS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyAndHopeful Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 NOSM does as well. The ABS makes up 1/3 of your pre-interview score for NOSM. I'm not sure how heavily the other 3 schools look at the ABS, but I'd assume it's a significant part of your application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artier Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 McMaster and Western don't Everywhere else does I don't know what you mean by "hierarchy within them in terms of how they look at the ABS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artier Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Within the 3 that do, which one does the most and which one does the least is what I meant to say That is not possible to answer because they all evaluate the ABS in different ways (i.e. Toronto has supplemental essays, Ottawa has Top 3, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoKaká Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 That is not possible to answer because they all evaluate the ABS in different ways (i.e. Toronto has supplemental essays, Ottawa has Top 3, etc.) Ottawa no longer has Top 3, from the looks of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of those schools have published how much the ABS counts in your pre-interview score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 8th Hokage Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 So hypothetically if you were only going to apply to McMaster and Western, should you even bother filling in an ABS. Like would they look at your ABS during interview to ask you questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxsci Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Mac is an MMI so they wouldn't have your abs, while western is a panel interview, but I believe it's closed file so they wouldn't have your abs either. That said, it's expected that you refer to personal experiences (many of which would involve ECs) at the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organomegaly Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 There isn't a lot of emphasis in Toronto on ABS actually (paper from 2012 quoting 10% weighting on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Treat every section seriously - unless you know for sure it does not matter for the school(s) to which you are applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetragrammaton Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 McMaster and Western don't Everywhere else does I don't know what you mean by "hierarchy within them in terms of how they look at the ABS" UWO looks at the ABS post interview though, right?
