Mac was a tossup. Part of me knew my CARS wouldn't be able to offset my garbage GPA but part of me had hope. WELP. Here's hoping for the rest.

[BirdyBirdy]

Time Stamp: 11:40 am

Invite: Yes!

cGPA: 3.98 ish

CARs: 128 (A bit low for Ontario schools. CARs is usually my best section but I did not deliver on the official MCAT)

Casper: I had not prepared for CASPER until the date of. I read the Wikipedia article on Doing right's method of approaching ethical dilemma, then I read the Wikipedia page on Medical Ethics. The Casper itself was a little bit sketchy as I wrote 2 sentence answers for some questions. I took all the breaks and I played loud pop music to keep myself pumped up. 

Geography: In province

Current year: 3rd year UG

 

I think I freaked out on the bus when I got the invite. I didn't expect anything from McMaster due to my low VR score. I hope I can somehow replicate my CASPER performance next year if I have to apply again because I am not rewriting the MCAT.
