Health Sciences
I just went to [email protected] and I love the Health Sci program at Mac. I am in grade 11 and I am planning on applying for next year.

I was just wondering what some of the questions for the supplementary application were for this or previous years.

Also, how do you think is best to write out the supplementary application, like do we talk highly of ourselves? Should we “list” every extracurricular involvement? Do we give a take on a personal/genuine level?
Any advice will be helpful!

agreed. It's really easy to see if someone is being genuine in an app or not. The supp application is your chance to show who you are, and that's what's important.

If there were one question which should not be asked, what would the question be and why?

-

Please describe a non-academic aspect of your life that you feel is important to your sense of self and explain why.
Please tell us whatever else you feel we need to know to understand you as a "whole person" and one who would fit our Program.

Everyone is unique. Trying to be "something" that Health Sciences is looking for is completely the wrong approach. People who think they need to change themselves to fit into a program should find another program. Just be yourself.
