  @bigdreamer Would you say the practice snapshot were accurate representations of the questions you received on the real thing?
- CASPer
  
  By monocor · Posted 46 minutes ago
  
  On ne peut pas ÉTUDIER pour le CASPer, mais il est selon moi nécessaire de se préparer pour un CASPer. Ça reste une entrevue, dans un format différent qu'un entretien normal, mais quand même on ne se présente pas à un entretien sans préparation, à mon avis Ne sous-estimez pas le CASPer, il est très discriminant, sinon jamais avec ma cote je serais entré haha. Oui il va y avoir beaucoup de demandes, mais c'est tout-à-fait possible de se démarquer.

- Snapshot Experiences
  
  By BigDreamer · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  Hey there - just took the snapshot. Lemme tell ya - it was SO tough to think on the spot and come up with an answer in the two minute time frame. I had one question that I also found to be very intriguing and had to think for a little longer than I normally would. I found some interview questions online and practiced recording myself answering them and listening back, not sure if it was helpful though. @coffee coffee , there was no option to send it to any programs so I believe that they will be able to access it when they need it, as long as you have released your CASPer score to them!

  By 1D7 · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  I don't put down outright negative comments (unless it was for something flagrant, which I've never had to do) because I don't want comments from a 2 week elective to affect a medical student's future CaRMS match in case somehow it ends up on their MSPR . For me generally vague comments mean you're average, mildly below average, or just someone I haven't worked with closely but have to help evaluate.

  By premedjulss · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  Do you guys think that a cGPA of 3.80 is competitive enough for the french stream? Should I apply? Has anyone gotten in with a similar gpa? Although they've used the wGPA in previous years
