hopefulgirl123 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm currently at 16 entries for my abs and I really want to push for a few more...what are some examples of what people put down?I've considered putting down resistance training and cardio as one of my entries, but I'm at road block and can't think of any other potential entries...I want to hear what other people may be putting to give me an idea of what I could put/ what is acceptable.

Bambi Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Acceptable is any legitimate endeavour, whether organized or on your own, that makes you a well rounded person and/or demonstrates altruism, CanMEDS competencies, artistic, sports, fitness, musical endeavours, that demonstrates active citizenshiip where you are contributing to your community or have done so. What others list is not relevant to you nor are the number of activities. You are judged on your own merits and the chips fall where they may. Good luck.

j17f Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have resistance training and guitar on mine. On the template for the McGill application they have "electric guitar" and "cycling" on it, so I don't think it will hurt you if you add them to your OMSAS ABS.

AAAmeds Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Who would you list for the verifier tho? I have resistance training and guitar on mine.

helicase Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 ^this! I started learning guitar on my own (thanks to youtube) and therefore don't have a verifier :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rial2 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Who would you list for the verifier tho? I'm wondering this, too! I could technically use my SO as a verifier, since we go to the gym together, but it would probably seem fraud-ish to have someone like that act as a verifier.

HappyAndHopeful Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 You don't need verifiers for activities listed in the "other" section, and it seems like a lot of people put those activities there (hobbies, fitness, interests, etc.).

Ooh, I see! And an organized sport (i.e. I played competitive hockey) would be under extracurriculars and require a verifier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
