tenesseewrites Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Super late, but may be useful for people next year. Timestamp and Format: Email Jan 23 Invite/Rejection: Invite cGPA: 3.85 VR Score: 11 How you felt the CASPER went: I actually felt good about it. I thought there were a few scenarios with a DEFINITE right answer and basically flat out wrote that "the other side" was ridiculous. I worried a bit that this might have damaged my chances, but it felt more sincere to write like that than try to decide what they wanted me to write. I guess it all worked out though!

pneumophiliac Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I haven't received a email or a package in the mail! I am worried, should I call or wait a couple days? My home is in northern alberta so maybe it takes that long to arrive? who was the sender of the email so maybe I can check my junk box?

qszwdxefc Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I haven't received a email or a package in the mail! I am worried, should I call or wait a couple days? My home is in northern alberta so maybe it takes that long to arrive? who was the sender of the email so maybe I can check my junk box?Thx Unfortunately no email means no interview invite. However there's still a small chance that you're waitlisted for an interview which would be indicated in the letter. I'm in the greater toronto area and I got my letter on Thursday so I wouldn't be too concerned. It's supposed to take an extra day for out of province and since you're up north it might take another extra day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you didn't see anyone posting they got a rejection email. Hopefully the letter finds you soon- even if it doesn't, and if you are on the waitlist and happen to get an invite, the admissions office will email & call you to let you know anyways.

Tricky Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 mind telling us for the sake of other hopefuls? VR that is. I'm interested as well.

BAMFtastic Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm interested as well. I'm wondering what it took from an OOP applicant to get an interview seeing as I felt my VR was the weakest part of my application to Mac. It is above minimum, but not where I want it to be. Enough said. To be fair I felt like I killed the casper, and I might be wrong on my GPA. It could be as high as 3.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo59 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Aca1, interview acceptances have to be mailed back to McMaster by March 1 for early April interviews, therefore if you're on the wait-list I wouldn't expect anything earlier than that?? I haven't seen any actual information on wait-list invitations, but my guess would be they would slot wait-listed applicants in where they need to fill spots.
