Casper is not rlly well? What will happen?

[Pineapple13579]

Hi, I am applying to UBC this year. I did terrible on my Casper. I barely have time to do question 3 for several scenarios (but I think I did pretty well for all the first questions of all the scenarios). Does UBC Dentistry weights Casper heavily? Is Casper super important for this?

After further research, I found people with excellent stats were somehow put in waitlist for U of T. Only reason I can think of is CASPer, or suboptimal interview.

i think it’s enough to bump u to waitlist if ur Casper results tripped every single red flag.

Casper is added to the admission requirement since this summer, so for the previous cycles, the reason why people with high stats ended up on waitlist is the interview. Hopefully they only want to collect statistical numbers for casper this year since it is their fist time to include it.

If you did well on your scenarios over all and just missed one question, you can still score well: 

"What if you miss one or two questions in a scenario?
Although all of your three responses to the questions for the same scenario will be graded by the same assessor, the score that you receive is representative of your overall performance on that station. For instance, if during one of the scenarios you take a lot of time to provide a well-thought out and mature to only one of the three questions and only have limited time to answer the remaining two, you can still score high on that station, granted that the answer you provided to question one was strong, appropriate and professional."

Best of luck!!

Can confirm, interview will make or break you no matter how high your GPA is.

@ToothHurty I was recommended an interview coach by a uoft dental student... is this true? I don't consider myself a super charismatic guy who might kill the interview...

I mean if you can afford it might not hurt. Don’t underestimate the interview especially if you’re not a confident speaker.

An interview coach will only help you! Even very confident charismatic people can have weak interview performance, in the same vein even those who are not as confident like you can excel if they get the right practice.
