dassy Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's always worth applying, but honestly I wouldn't get your hopes up for McMaster, although apparently they've changed the formula this year so gpa is weighted less? I had a 3.33 gpa at the time and 14 on verbal and thought I did quite well on Casper and didn't get an interview. The lowest I've seen is like 13 on verbal, 3.4+ gpa and master's student. But the prep you do for Casper will help you for your future interviews and if you apply again to Mac. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a good shot. A fair shot at that. Score well on CASPer and you should get an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
