elgamal123 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi Everyone!! So I had a couple of questions if anyone could answer it would be highly appreciated! 1) Right now I am in my last semester of CEGEP (I did my CEGEP in 4 semesters, however i started during the winter semester). Obviously I want to apply to med-p and dent-p at mcgill. However, in order to do so that would mean that i would have to wait for a semester (since I am finishing my cegep in the fall). Would i still be applicable to applying for mcgill's med-p and dent-p after staying for a gap semester (not doing any studies)? 2) At the moment i have an r-score of 35.2 which is really stressing me out. Like its not a competitive r-score but its not that bad (I like calling it the grey area). But does anybody know if people with r-scores like mine make it into mcgill med-p and dent-p or am I just dreaming that i have a chance of getting in haha? In order to counterbalance my r-score's uncompetitiveness I have been working as a caregiver and i got my first aid and cpr trainings. Other than that i did some volunteering (approx. 100 hours). I also got some trophies back from high school. But does anybody know if people with r-scores like mine make it into mcgill med-p and dent-p or am I just dreaming that i have a chance of getting in haha? 3) I started revising for the casper but could anyone give me any pointers on whats the best method to study for it. I bought the "**DELETED** casper" book but i found the responds they give in the book too unrealistic because they're very long. So does anyone have any suggestions?

I bought the "**DELETED** casper" book but i found the responds they give in the book too unrealistic because they're very long. So does anyone have any suggestions? Hey! I am a current Med-P and I will do my best to answer any of your questions or link you to any resources that could potentially be of use to you. 1) This is definitely a foggy area. The French schools likely won't have a problem with this, though you may have to apply for the following year, however McGill is pretty strict about these types of things. If you have a strong reason, it could serve you well to email your questions to McGill's medical admissions office at admissions.med@mcgill.ca. 2) While many people do not receive interviews or acceptances with R-Scores like this, it is very much possible. I know someone with a very close R-Score to yours who got accepted. The French schools are very feasible with a ~35, but try to bump it up if you can. 3) I think you should balance advice from books (that tend to be very systematic and predictable) and personal experience. Definitely do a lot of self-reflection (I journalled a lot before the exam personally), and really get to know yourself. Be able to relate Casper situations to personal experiences. Make sure you're as impartial in your problem-solving as possible, and having a fast typing speed is definitely an asset. The Casper exam is what you make of it; everyone does it differently. A mix between "traditional" formulaic methods such as "if/then" and personal flair was what I did but the essential thing is to be yourself. They'll read right through an overstructured answer. Feel free to attend Med-P/Dent-P events throughout the school year for tips and pointers! There are Facebook and Instagram pages to introduce you to these. Best of luck! elgamal123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Outaouais WL surpasses 100 every year I'm pretty sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
