TMU is accepting references until Dec 3 11:59pm

This does not affect me, but I noticed that TMU is accepting references until Dec 3, 11:59pm possibly to compensate for the referee link expiry. Hope this helps someone out!

SAM submission

After submitting, I see the SAM docs for TMU are uploaded, but there is no status of it being received or sent. I submitted them with my app, but is there an indication that the docs actually went through? I still have the option to cancel processing as well. Is that how it's supposed to be? Thanks!

TMU documentation mistake

On their website it says: Note: Documentation should not include any sensitive information such as a Social Insurance Number, licence or health insurance number, bank/credit card number or security information, or other personal details. If the documentation contains any of the above, applicants are asked to redact the information from their documentation before submission.  

I did however submit my drivers license as documentation because it has my address on it...not sure what to do now

Pat yourself on the back

If you’ve applied to med school this year, give yourself a hug and breathe. Whatever happens is beyond our control now. Don’t give up on your dreams, keep grinding!

Happy holidays everyone ❤️

TMU OMSAS questions

Hey I maybe over thinking, but on OMSAS when it said supplementary questions 1-4, they were in the same order as they were on the website right? Like they didn't switch it up or anything

Shout out to TMU Staff

How about a shout out to TMU staff. I cannot imagine how many messages they’ve responded to in the last month.

Tip of the hat to admissions staff!

It’s kinda funny how…

Everyone that was hating on TMU still ended up applying LOL

When interviews and acceptances come out yall are gonna be the worst 😭

But fr major respect to the 1-2% of people that make it out of the most competitive applicant pool!

What’s the point of interviewing to UBC with low mcat?

87% average, LOTS of ECs (current elementary school teacher and previously firefighter but I can go on and on about ECs), I’m also a rural applicant (NMP being first choice) but sub 500s mcat. I’ve been told that I might be getting an interview by med students who looked at my NAQ but I’m curious as to what’s the point with such a low mcat?

I plan on rewriting in the summer when the school year is over but just not sure if a high NAQ and interview would be enough to overcome that low mcat?

OMSAS Website Froze

I attempted to submit my payment at 4:21 PM EST. When I clicked on the payment page, OMSAS froze. I tried logging in on several devices and it appeared to be a problem with the website. I have screenshots of everything, including the error page, and sent these to OMSAS with an explanation. Did anyone experience this? Has anyone experienced this in the past? Please help.

Mistake in application

Just finished submitting my app. I noticed something though. For one of my ABS entries, I see under level of education “PhD” indicated. I am absolutely not a PhD student, I’m still finishing my undergrad! I contacted omsas and they said to submit a SAM message.

I did and the reply I got was along the lines of “med schools don’t accept changes” and to bring it up in interview or smth.

I’m worried that this may be seen as falsifying information. I absolutely had no intention of doing that. Additionally, I literally triple checked before submission and remember everything being in check so idk where this came from :/

I’m so stressed and don’t know what to do. Am I gonna get banned from future apps?

It’s my first cycle and I don’t wanna mess it up!

Thank you in advance.

Does anybody else see this on OMSAS after TMU submission?

I submitted my application to TMU and then tried logging into OMSAS again but all I can see is this. Does anybody else have this??? I submitted close to the deadline so I'm worried I did something wrong

Edit TMU ABS

Verifier said I only did 15 hours based on her records, I said I did 30

Literally was my 32nd entry lol, and she just emailed back and I had already submit my app

SAM said it can’t be changed right now, what are the chances they verify over 30 hours lol
