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!
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!
Mine still isn't up and idk if it's because of an issue the registrar's office had with my MSc conferral date...
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
What was your major and what university did you go to for your undergraduate degree? Also dis you take any years off to study or get ready tor med/dental school, if so how many years from graduation to application for grad school?
Is there a way OUAC can help me with the 375$ fee. I already payed it but I meed that money back😪 I am low-income and a in a bad financially situation
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 ❤️
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
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!
Hypothetically
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!
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?
Updated to include the option “did not apply/ results” apologies for not including this earlier.
GUYSSS i submitted my application on OMSAS on time, but I went back to check everything and I was looking at SAM to make sure I uploaded all my documents. However, by accident my thumb slipped and i clicked cancel on one of my documents. it ended up deleting the document. I re-uploaded it but idk what to do. Has anyone been in this position before???? Pls help!!
alright i'm seeing mixed posts here - just to confirm, did yall only get a generic email saying your 2025 OMSAS application has been submitted with your reference number after submitting tmu? for context, i only applied to tmu. i did not receive a copy of my responses/ sketch is this normal?
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.
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.
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
Guys why do I leave shit to the last min😭 can’t help it and stress after. Barely get to do final checks
hey guys, Once we uploaded and submit our documents can we see our answers and responses?
Guys.... I really want to estimate the number of TMU applications at this point. Whoever applied, put an emoji or a simple "applied" here. Lets see the number of comments.
And also everyone who applied... best of luck!!!
Workbook gpa: 3.93, honours degree, grades dipped significantly compared to first couple years in last year (no letter of extenuating circumstances tho)
ECs: a few long term volunteering positions, research assistant/coordinator both volunteer and employment, long term part time employment during undergrad, club president through undergrad
Casper: 4Q English
IP/OOP: technically IP but never lived in Quebec
Thank you
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
