Invite/Reject: Invite!

GPA: 3.83
CARS: 129
Casper: I felt good about my answers at first but was pressed for time. My computer then froze in the middle of the test and I had to contact support to erase one of my answers. I was pretty flustered about it afterwards and felt like I bombed the second half.

Shook. I applied to 22 schools this cycle and McMaster was the single last school I would have expected an interview invite from.

Overall, my CARS was way below competitive and my GPA didn't do me any favours. Basically what I expected.

Regrets

Time Stamp: 10:02 AM

GPA: 3.59 (lol)

CARS: 131

CASPER: Needed an super score to make up for my GPA, so not so super I guess?

IP

McMaster y u no like me

[short_stack]

I can not believe this. My GPA is so bad, I never expected Mac to throw me a bone. I started crying because I’ve been beating myself up for having bad grades for years.

Timestamp: 09:08

Invite/Reject: Invite

GPA: low lol

CARS: 130

CASPer: I practiced a whole lot and bought some practice sample scenarios. I felt pretty flustered throughout but okay for most questions. I left the third question of one scenario completely blank and felt terrible thereafter. I really thought I did so bad but I must have done ok to make up for my GPA.

Edit: good luck to everyone!!

Not too surprised, first time writing MCAT and applying to Mac. I'm still finishing my MSc degree and I know that doesn't count towards my consideration since it's incomplete. Oh well!
