DrOtter Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 5 minutes ago, takasugi said: Does anyone know how Ottawa uses CASPER? How important is it for getting an Ottawa interview? I want to know whether an Ottawa invite is indicative of a good CASPER score. There was a year (2017 I think) when Ottawa first adopted CASPer where they allegedly used half WGPA half CASPer, and then they readjusted it to what it is today. So I'd say a fair bit. takasugi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal and Sherbrooke went with the CASPer test. I don't know for Laval, but they probably did the same. These three schools normally hold a common MMI session, so they probably all moved in the same direction. ready2go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine! Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Applicants had to write the Casper if they had not before. The schools used varying combinations of GPA and Casper. I think U de M did 50/50. ready2go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PequalsMD Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’m going to be checking this forum instead of OMSAS just to see if my uottawa gang is up. If anyone from Ottawa is brave enough to keep us posted especially if you don’t see anything. Releasing at midnight is whack. They should be updating May 13 midnight instead. newmy88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they basically made the interview list as they would normally do and they're now individually applying their own formula by weighing grades and CASPer at 50% each to obtain a final rank for each candidate that should have been interviewed in normal circumstances. I believe this is better than what Mac decided to do for sure, but they have their own flaws with respect to academic assessment, but that would be too long to explain.
