zdoq Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Anyone taking CASPer for UBC? It says it's not required on their webpage but does anyone have any opinions on if it would boost your application whether or not you take it?

tooth Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I believe the test can only be submitted to schools that require a score on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdoq Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I just signed up for CASPer today and the list of Canadian dental schools that you can submit to are UBC, McGill, and Montreal. I am applying to UBC and McGill so I instinctively signed up for those ones and paid the fees. Later I checked the UBC dental page and they have a note with an asterisk saying that the CASPer test is not required. After creating this thread I snooped around premed101 a little more and it seems like some schools are having applicants submit CASPer without even taking the score into consideration in order to research if there is a correlation between CASPer score and student success? It seems a little unethical to make students pay for CASPer for this purpose though. It's only $12 to add an additional school but still, that could have been some nice takeout :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
