Slickrick Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Since Ottawa doesn't say, it's hard to tell how much the Casper is worth at Ottawa. I missed out on Mac but still have a very competitive weighted GPA (3.99) at Ottawa. Just wondering if some here got interviews at Ottawa last year but not Mac last year. I'm just hoping that it was my 127 cars that sunk me at mac and not my casper. Anyone have any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbruh Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Mac weighs CARS heavily while Ottawa doesn't consider MCAT at all so I'd say it's a very different game there. But yes I had an interview at Ottawa but not Mac last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelican37 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Also interested, missed the boat for Mac interview with highish GPA ~3.95. Hoping ottawa is different (and Alberta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bins Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I had two friends that were accepted at Ottawa (Class of '22) that didn't get interviews at McMaster. Likely due to CARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimonia Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 It was likely your CARS, and even more so if you're OOP. At Mac your casper needs to be quite excellent to get an interview but at most other schools your casper would only affect your interview chance if you did relatively bad. Keep your hopes up though; if you're looking for some personal anecdote I had similar stats, no Mac interview, but interviewed at all other casper schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamsweremade Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Curious because I also got rejected from Mac with 3.92 omsas gpa but 126 cars so maybe it was because of CARS being too low. Nevertheless, my wGPA for ottawa is 3.97 so hopefully I should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathmaximum Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I too am quite curious. I received a rejection from Mac with a 4.00 GPA and a CARS score. I prepared diligently for CASPER, I assume its my CARS that tanked me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesieluv Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I got interviewed at uOttawa last year but didn't get an interview at Mac. I had 126 in CARS last year and a 3.96 ish GPA. So I must have done OK on the Casper but not amazing enough to get a Mac interview! This year I applied with a 127 in CARS and 3.97 and still got rejected from Mac.
