You’ve put in the work. You’ve carefully completed each section of the TMDSAS application, and the finish line is in sight. But before you submit your application and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back, it is of the utmost importance that you check off the items on this list. (Also known as the make-it-or-break-it checklist!)
Prior to submitting, download and review your application PDF. This can be found by
logging onto the application portal, scrolling on the homepage until you see “Entry Year” and clicking the blue hyperlink. (Please make sure that your browser settings allow for popups.)
We highly recommend that you print out your application and look over the paper document, as this method is proven to catch more errors when reviewing.
Don’t worry – you can still exchange letter writers if a letter has not been received!
Without your Spring 2021 grades, your application could get delayed, and we know you wouldn’t want that to happen!
Well, did you catch any mistakes? Good! Now you can rest easy knowing that your application reflects the accuracy and precision you pride yourself in having. Good Luck!
