I spent about 2 weeks prepping. worked on typing speed and bought one of those fancy prep courses. i know i had quite a few spelling mistakes as I was trying to get all my thoughts down. but we were told spelling doesn't matter. evidently, it does. IP graduated 2016 Spelling doesn't matter. I had so many spelling mistakes that you probably couldn't even make out some of the words. I got an invite.

I am an OOP with a 3.64 GPA and 128 CARS. I have not applied to any medical schools yet but this makes me wonder if I should even take a shot at Mac. It seems like Casper is really a deciding factor for a lot of people here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Casper is really a deciding factor for a lot of people here. MAC uses an equal mathematical weighting of GPA/CARS/CASPER for interviews. The problem you will run into is that MAC limits OOP interviews to 10% (about 55 people). You will need an absolute top CASPER score.

Honestly will probably re-write and try to get 130+. Since I'm OOP with a lower GPA I have a feeling that even a 128 is a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOP RE: your CASPer. You definitely want more substantial answers than that. If you must, focus on only one or two of the questions. They're not supposed to penalize you for not answering all the questions. Just answer as many as you can the best you can. You might also want to get someone to evaluate your practice answers. If you have any CASPer prep questions PM me. ThisIsMe, AVSS HDS CSM and targaryen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
