yohohoy Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Invite/Reject: Reject (MD) GPA: 4.0 CARS : 131 Casper: I didn't think I did too bad tbh. My biggest regret is not practising typing speed more (I have slow typing speed) and in general not prepping more for Casper. Still not convinced that Casper has sufficient reliability and validity to be used for selection; seems like there's a lot of randomness involved. Anyone who has marked casper wanna chime in with their opinions on the marking scheme/rubric? Oh well, I tried my best IP 3rd year currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely proved out that your CASPer was dragged down your entire overall pre-interview score. Did you apply elsewhere/broadly enough this year?

chairs Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Invite/Reject: Reject (MD) BUT I was WAITLISTED GPA: 3.87 CARS: 127 CASPER: Got cut off a lot, a lot of my answers to the questions in the 2nd and 3rd box were basically in the first one 4th year undergrad. Anyone know the chances of me getting off the waitlist? Don't know if I should accept rejection or still have hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that many people will decline an interview, so I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but I definitely will keep an eye on my inbox in the coming weeks nonetheless.

OOP Graduated 2017. Does anyone know how many OOP are invited for interview? This page states that 10% of interview seats go to OOP applicants. I believe this would be around 55 students from outside of Ontario this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senotspets Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Time stamp: Jan 10 (yesterday) at 2:21pm. Invite/Reject: Invite (MD) GPA: 3.95 CARS: 128 Casper: I typed a lot and tried to be as original as possible/look at scenarios with multiple perspectives and considerations while following a set format for structuring my answers. Felt bad about the last station because I didn't distribute my answers evenly. Apparently it wasn't that bad. IP Graduated 2017 summer, working now. With the same stats last application cycle, I didn't get a single interview invite. With prepping Casper last year, I really trusted Mac's whole "no need for much practice" thing. Just goes to show that there are strategies to tackle Casper. For those that got this initial rejection, please do not give up! I know it feels incredibly defeating, but this is unfortunately a part of the process. Good luck on the other schools!

I declined my interview last year and saw someone post about a day later that they got an interview of waitlist. I also know two different people previously that got interviews of a waitlist.

Marker's evaluate each station individually on a 9 point likert scale. You mark ~50 responses to the same question in a row and are given suggestions for what answers should address, and are told to evaluate relative to the other answers you are marking. It's straightforward and as objective as it could be, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markers are told explicitly to ignore spelling mistakes... they even have a little test where you have to grade some example answers and it wants you to ignore the poor grammar/spelling answers.
