A little depressed tbh. Probably my verbal score that cut me down. I know two people personally who are oop and got an invite so congrats to all that did!

How you felt CASPER went: It was the first time after 3 applications that I actually finished it. I thought it went alright. Turns out it went even better than I thought!

This is hope to those with borderline stats. It's an expensive lottery ticket, but it pays off sometimes!

GPA: 3.96 *i think*
MCAT verbal: 10 
Casper: Thought I did crap. Just in case anyone was brooding over this MANY of my questions got cut off in the middle of a sentence because of the time constraint. There were a few where I didn't even get to bring a thought to completion *truncated idea is much worse than a supporting sentence*. Maybe they cut you some slack when they know where you're going with an answer but you clearly got cut off? 
Current year: 4th

How you felt CASPER went: Didn't practice the timing so a few questions were lackluster. The ones I answered I had no idea if I was thorough enough. I felt like I did pretty average :)

I was studying in the hospital (fitting, I know) and reading another email on my phone when "McMaster MD Admission" popped up at the top... really caught me off guard. Then I read the email, said YES, fist pumped the air, got weird looks, and went home.

How you felt CASPER went: Actually really bad.... felt like a dumb%$@ (don't know if we're allowed to swear lol) on one question where I didn't understand what was happening (had to give my opinion on something I didn't know existed), misread two questions so I was answering something else, and for one question I sounded crazy because I started quoting myself.... 

So don't always let your initial judgement of your performance bring you down!

How you felt CASPER went: Felt alright afterwards, but I started second guessing some of my answers. I responsed to all the questions in full, but my last sentence on a few may have been cut short

Current year: 4th year undergrad

 

My ECs are a big part of my application, so I had little hope that my stats and CASPER would be competitve. Good luck to those invited for interviews !
