GLO Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 anyone else have this problem with casper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joba17 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 there are a lot of people who had this problem ( in the CASPer fail thread I believe). Anyways I had the same issue, and I would call just to confirm that everything is fine, that is what I did - and I'm still waiting to hear back! but hopefully it's just a glitch in the system - since many of us have had this happen!

TurkandJD Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I used IE 8.0, everything worked fine. Got 100% complete page at the end. Less than a minute later, an email confirming completion of CASPer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irsr Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 @ Glo -- don't worry. This is not a problem. I asked CASPer about this and they said you should not worry about the email. A lot of people did not get emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstark Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 that happened to me too! i called and the guy said he can't guarantee anything but that it should be fine. I'm still really nervous about it but its comforting that i'm not the only one it happened it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawalac Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I doubt they're going to use CASPer anyway. Way too many reported problems. Kind of embarrassing for Mac considering how many people had issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Teething problems are normal, Mac remains an innovative leader in the admission process for med and soon enough, who knows, Casper may become the gold standard just like the MMI.

Teething problems should have been taken care of during testing. A few problems here and there is understandable, but by reading the casper fail thread, it's obvious there were more than a few problems. If the system isn't ready, then they shouldn't have made people use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawalac Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Also, how is MMI considered the "gold standard"? If it was the gold standard, wouldn't all the schools be using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irsr Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 @ Kawalac --MMI is increasingly becoming more popular for medical schools as well as dental and pharmacy schools in Canada. I personally went through MMI once and found the experience very enjoyable. I liked CASPer in the same way, but what I hated about it was how it was implemented. It is very disappointing and given the technical problems an unfair selection method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawalac Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I never questioned the usefulness of MMI. I'm just saying that I don't think it can be considered a gold standard, not yet at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryd Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I never got an email either, but I saw the 100% complete page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a McMaster undergrad - we have so many problems with all our technology. Problems with CASPer aren't even surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
