Do they check applications randomized?

Hi everyone,

This may be a dumb question but I was hoping we could discuss this! So I know that OMSAS isn't based on rolling admission, so as long as you submit by the deadline, you're good?

But once they start going through the applications, how do they decide what order to check them? is it still in order of when you submit or does it get randomized? This has always been a question for me.. since there is only a limited amount of interview spots, and I believe that those who get their applications seen first are probably more likely to get an interview?

if anyone has any info/thoughts on this lmk!
