OMSAS Application & ABS Editing

For Ontario medical schools, the OMSAS application and its autobiographical sketch (ABS) carry real weight, and both reward strategy as much as writing. Scholr helps you choose which experiences to feature, describe them with impact, and present a coherent story, guided by mentors and former admissions evaluators who know how the ABS is read.

How It Works

01

Strategy and selection

We map your experiences and decide which belong in the ABS and where, so the strongest parts of your profile are front and center.

02

ABS entries

We help you write each ABS entry with impact, making limited characters convey real depth, contribution, and reflection.

03

Application essays

For schools with supplemental essays, we edit for structure, clarity, and fit, so each answer is specific to that program.

04

Final review

Before you submit, we review your full OMSAS application as a committee would, catching anything that undercuts your story.

“What I needed was writing for a science reader. That's why I found Scholr helpful, because it was more similar to the people who would be reading it.”

Frequently asked questions

What is OMSAS?

OMSAS is the centralized application service for Ontario medical schools. You submit one application through it, including your grades, autobiographical sketch, and any school-specific components.

What is the autobiographical sketch (ABS)?

The ABS is where you list and describe your activities and experiences for OMSAS, from employment and volunteering to research and awards. It is one of the most important non-academic parts of an Ontario application.

How many entries can the ABS include?

OMSAS allows a substantial number of entries, but more is not better. We help you choose the experiences that show genuine depth and fit rather than filling every slot.

Do I need verifiers for my ABS?

Yes, OMSAS requires a verifier for each entry. We help you plan your entries with credible verifiers in mind so nothing slows you down at submission.

When should I start my OMSAS application?

Start well before the fall deadline, ideally over the summer, so you have time to draft, refine, and confirm verifiers without rushing.
