Activity Log (ABS Raw Material)

Log at the time it happens, never reconstruct. OMSAS requires a verifier (name + contact) for every Autobiographical Sketch entry, and schools check. An unverifiable activity is an activity that didn’t happen.

OMSAS ABS categories: Employment · Volunteer Activities · Extracurricular Activities · Awards and Accomplishments · Research · Other.

Rules

  • One row per activity; update End/Hrs as it continues.
  • Verifier confirmed willing at the time — a two-second ask now saves a dead entry in 2028.
  • Quality over count: sustained commitment + responsibility beats breadth. ABS caps at 32 entries.
  • Clinical exposure, research, and service with depth are the entries that survive interview probing.
