OSAP - Why is Life Science not listed?
I am going to McMaster for Life Science next year and applying for OSAP. In the listing of programs, I cannot find "Life Sciences". Also, I submitted my application with the program, Biology, and I guess I have to change it?...=S What should I do? If I were to start a new application, do I just manually type in Life Sciences? Thanks.

Just type in 'life' in the keyword box.

I think it's fine if you put Biology, they have the same tuition anyway.

Part of your program selection is to verify you are legitimately in the program you say you're in. If you enter into year 1 under 'biology' when you're really in life science, you are lying to OSAP. |

Isn't there an "Other" choice? I think I used that at one point, or was going to... /foggy

I don't see how it's offense, it's the truth.
If you lie to OSAP in any way and don't get it amended you won't be receiving financial support from them.
Example: Your parents never filed in their taxes for 2010 yet and they give you a rough estimate of how much they have made that year and when they file it in or whatever and the CRA gives them another amount, don't expect OSAP. |

actually i remember from last year the, saying something like this when you tried to do it early on. if your program isnt listed , we are waiting for financial information from your school. |

The Search Results only show 1|2|3 pages, but there's a Next button and if you keep clicking it, it will take you to page 4,5,6,etc. I found my program (as well as Life Sciences) in this way (on page 30 T_T)
