In regards to OTCAS, Am I allowed to start my application now? Or do I have to wait until the 18th to enter all of my information and then apply?

thanks!
 
When I applied last year, I started entering in all of my information before the new cycle and it ended up deleting all of my information. I don't know if anyone else had that problem, but honestly the best thing may be to wait until the 18th just so you don't have to retype everything
 
You could always just type your information into a word document and just copy and past to OTCAS when the new cycle starts.
 
Does anyone know if the professional entry icon will appear when the new cycle begins? I have the option to download the forms to send to my university but I don't see anywhere that I can choose professional entry? Thanks!


Also, do we add any and all professional experiences and club involvement on the experience page? Its confusing since most clubs meet monthly with the exception of activities or excursions yet it asks for hrs/week. Any advisement would be awesome!

I put my clubs that i was in in the experience part. i put employment, research, and volunteer work in there as well. In the achievement section I put in all of the honors organizations that I was a part of including the honors program as well. Hope that helps!

Thank you!!! It helped!
 
Under the Experiences section, OTCAS says "You may NOT repeat hours between the sections".
Are they saying that, for example, my paid hospital job can either be entered into Employment OR Healthcare Experience, and not both?

Yeah I think that's exactly what it means! I myself would probably enter it as healthcare experience but I think thats preference at the end of the day it will display the same information!
