carebthenarb Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi everyone. I'm from Alberta and I have a 3.94(33333) GPA and a 127 CARS. Obviously I'll still need to tackle CASPer. I think I do OK in CASPer, I can type quickly and put a few lines per answer and have decent and reasonable (but not amazing) answers. Do you think a 3.94 and 127 CARS is decent enough to get an interview OOP? Assuming I do average-above average in CASPer and not flunk it. I've done CASPer twice before in two application cycles. One for the U of A when they first did CASPer (got an interview) and for some various Ontario schools (did not get an interview). I've also gotten an interview at U of C before but no CASPer needed there. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your CARS score is sliiighly on the lower end compared to the average. Some people with high GPA/low-fair CARS scores who posted in the accepted/rejected/waitlisted thread were indeed rejected but I've definitely seen some people accepted too. Casper will be the deciding factor. Also I would recommend a lot of interview prep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yea, the interview will definitely matter. I did extremely poorly on the U of C interview even though I prepped a lot with friends who got in within the same cycle. Thanks. Though, I am out of province, so how badly do you think this will affect me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medshopeful2019 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I think you can get an interview if you do really well on Casper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng2med Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Had a 3.84 and 127 and got in. It's possible, with a good enough Casper score and interview performance. Although, I am in-province, so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
