Western supplementary applications
8 of the 18 programs at Western University ask for more than your marks, most often an interview. These carry their own deadlines, separate from the OUAC one, and missing them ends the application no matter what your average is.
Dates we checked ourselves
- Ivey Advanced Entry Opportunity (AEO)
- A separate Ivey application: two activities written up as essays (max 500 words each) plus up to five more in point form, a named reference for every activity — "Applications without verified references will not be considered" — and a five-question Kira Talent video interview completed in one sitting. You must also click yes to Ivey AEO on your OUAC application.
- Don Wright Faculty of Music — all music degrees
- Audition and interview. Apply on OUAC first, get your Western student number, then register and pay the fee.
- Scholar's Electives and the National Scholarship Program
- Separate application for Western’s enriched-study stream and its major entrance scholarship.
- All Western programs — general supplementary form
- Western’s general supplementary form, used across programs including Kinesiology and MIT.

A supplementary application is the part your average can’t save you from. Work out where your marks land first, then budget time for these.
Requirements come from each program’s OUInfo listing. Deadlines change between cycles — confirm every one with the university before you rely on it.
