Good luck to everyone interviewing!! Bump up your VR, understand CASPer, fill your 48-item sketch as best and genuinely as you can and apply. You are strong on paper based on your current stats. If I can do it, almost anybody can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Mac's breakdown pre-interview is 25% GPA, 25% VR and 46% CASPer, (50% of you're a grad student). I don't know which GPA they will use but your best shot at making yourself BETTER is to maximize your VR score so I would focus on that. Your ECs are not relevant for Mac but you will find that you may be able to incorporate your experiences into your CASPer and MMI answers. Right now? Rewrite MCAT and try and hit >= 10 on VR. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
