I think many applicants won't like the Casper change here because its being used as an additional hurdle to pass to determine whether you actually even get that in-person interview and file review- I think it would be more welcomed if it was a supplement to the interview score you receive, that is to say if you meet the academic cutoffs, your file is reviewed regardless of the casper score. That being said, the Casper cutoff, like the gpa/mcat seems reasonable and I think it does help improve fairness as its another standardized metric schools can use and the questions that are asked (and the testing constraints placed on the applicant generally) do give them another valuable window into the applicant that the in-person interview may not provide.
