Reject.

Time stamp 2:30 EST.

Was told my CASPer was average but I had a Low CARS score so didn't expect much. I have a masters with 3.8 GPA and about 8 first author publications but I think this isn't even looked at at Mac so I didn't expect an interview. Good luck to everyone else!

Result: Invite!

OMSAS GPA: 3.97

CARS: 131

Casper: Honestly I blacked it all out within 30 minutes after finishing it. I only have a vague recollection of how I felt after writing it, and I think I just felt okay. I think maybe my GPA and CARS could have made up for a mediocre Casper though?

Casper: Last year I got denied an interview with the same gpa and CARS, so I think my Casper improved this year!

For those that did not get an interview, I understand how hard it must be! Please take care of yourself!

I HAVE NO IDEA how I got an OOP interview! I am so beyond shocked, and happy! This is my first cycle, and I had already faced a UBC rejection this cycle so was feeling pretty hopeless before this morning.

Casper: I had a really good feeling about my Casper this time around, and it clearly made a difference. Applied with essentially the same stats as the first time I applied two years ago, except now doing an MSc. Good luck to everyone!

That's a tough pill to swallow. Casper is a bit of an RNG-fest after a certain point, so try as best you can to not take it personally. With your stats you'll make it in somewhere with some perseverance, so if it's what you really want don't throw in the towel. Good luck mate

OMSAS GPA: 3.90

CARS: 128

Casper: It felt pretty average. I remember being cut off at one sentence for only one question, but besides that it was pretty decent. Didn't feel amazing but didn't feel like I completely bombed it, hence why I felt it was average.

Casper: Felt okay. Paid for prep and did a lot of practice but I guess it wasnt enough to offset an average gpa and CARS.

Was really banking on mac so this stings
