			<description><![CDATA[ About giving comments about the verifiers (for school submissions), I'm not sure whether to give any or not. This is from the instruction sheet:<br>Queen's says:<br>Include the verifiers full name, address &amp; tel no. and the activity to which they relate. <br><br>Mac says:<br>The Verification Reference List must not contain a description of the activity/example. <br><br>Any help is appreciated! ]]></description>

OK, from what I interpret from the description, I have to provide the info of mailing addresses, names, titles and positions about the three referees. And I will have to submit the whole COMPASS application prior to sep 15th, after I submit all the info in COMPASS, OMSAS will mail the confidential assessment forms to each of the three referees, and they will have to fill up the forms and mail them back to OMSAS.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a few questions. Regarding reference letters, does OMSAS require you to have a prof write one of the letters? I don't think they do, but I wanted to make sure.<br><br>Also, I read that you don't necessarily have to have reference letters in by Oct.1. How late is too late for reference letters?<br><br>Finally, some schools seem to require first aid/CPR. Do you need these done before you apply, or before you enroll after you are accepted? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey! I have a question about lab research. I volunteered at a lab last summer and did odd jobs, mostly helping other students in the lab with their projects. This summer I had a paid position with the same supervisor and I had my own project. How should I enter this into my sketch? Under &quot;research&quot; or &quot;volunteer&quot;? Also, should I separate the 2 years as two different entires, since I was given a different role each time? ]]></description>
