Based on my stats I am very weary that this email was a glitch in their system. Thus I am holding off for about 10 minutes on celebration in shock..

How you felt CASPER went: I was very unsure, but as an OOP and with a 10 VR, it must've been better than I thought!
Geography: OOP
Current year: UG (4th year)

 

McMaster has mentally been on the list of schools I wouldn't be interviewing at based on my VR score and OOP status, so I am absolutely thrilled about this invite!

How you felt CASPER went: No idea but I was politely opinionated and had fun with it.

Geography : IP/OP? They consider me IP by their criteria (no other school in Ontario does.)

Current year: [uG (what year), Masters, PhD] Current third year.

 

Completely beside myself happy.

FINALLY!!  After solid rejections last year - things are coming up millhouse! :-)

 

INVITE!

cGPA - 4.0

VR Score - 13

CASPER - thought it went amazing.

UG - 1 yr masters - finished UG last year at Western.

 

While not a fan of MAC's hokey education philosophy in general - the 3 year program is appealing as it allows us to get into the workforce quicker and start paying off that debt.  I will interview at Western, so really it's the other Ontario schools and the rest of Canada (excluding NOSM and the francophone schools and the two eastern anglo schools which I did not apply to).

* I am completing my second degree right now. First degree had a 2.92 GPA, second degree has a 3.96 GPA, plus did my science prerequisites between the two with a ~4.00 GPA.

 

I am shocked. Did NOT expect an interview invite from McMaster as an OOP with such a low cGPA!
