notifications_active

Refer to the application and the university's website for up-to-date program details.

Check Document Tracking in your application frequently to ensure that all documents are received by their respective deadlines.

Notes:

  • It is your responsibility to review the referee requirements for each program that you apply to.
  • OMSAS cannot advise you in selecting referees.
  • References cannot be submitted after the application deadline.
    • Exception: Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is accepting applications until December 2, 2024, at 4:30 pm (ET) and references until December 3, 2024, at 11:59 pm (ET).
  • OMSAS applicants applying to Ottawa, Western, Toronto, and Queen’s combined MD/PhD-MD/Master’s program must have additional references submitted for the MD/PhD or MD/Master’s portion of their application using this common MD/PhD reference form.
    • These MD/PhD (or Queen’s MD/PhD-MD/Master’s combined program) reference forms are in addition to the 3 Confidential Assessment Forms that are part of the standard OMSAS application.
  • TMU School of Medicine does not require additional references or Confidential Assessment Forms beyond the standard 3 that are required as part of the OMSAS application. If you already provided references in another OMSAS application for this cycle, no further action is required.
