OMSAS ABS Review
Make all 32 entries earn their spot
The ABS might be the most underestimated part of the whole OMSAS application. People spend weeks on their essays and then knock out 32 sketch entries in a weekend, even though file reviewers at some schools are literally assigning scores to those entries, and they're doing it in minutes.
You send me your full sketch and get back a written review of every single entry, with rewrites that lead with what you did and what changed because you did it. I'll also flag anything a verifier might contradict, and suggest how to cluster your entries so the whole sketch tells one coherent story instead of reading like a receipts pile. Then we get on a call and walk through all of it together.
What's included
- A written review of every ABS entry, up to all 32
- Rewrites you can paste in, built around action and impact
- Clustering strategy so your sketch tells one story
- A verifier red-flag check before you submit
- A 45-minute live walkthrough call included
Common questions
What is the OMSAS autobiographical sketch (ABS)?
The ABS is the structured activity list inside the Ontario medical school application. You get up to 32 entries covering employment, volunteering, extracurriculars, awards, and research, and each one needs a short description plus a verifier who can confirm you did it. Several Ontario schools score the sketch directly, which is why the wording deserves real attention.
How should I write ABS descriptions?
Lead with what you did and what changed because of it, quantify anything that can be counted, and spend your limited characters on your own actions rather than describing the organization. Something like 'taught weekly CPR classes to over 120 newcomers' will always beat a generic sentence about what the charity does.
