I had mine 2 weeks ago, it was a great experience. Its a very personal laid back interview so don't stress about it. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

RedLily Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 McMaster sends out everything, all invites and rejections, at the same time, right? Do they still send letters as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 McMaster sends out everything, all invites and rejections, at the same time, right? Do they still send letters as well? Yes all at the same time and this year, for the first time ever, they are sending them all out via e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarvish Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think it's safe to assume nothing today. Looking through last year's thread, there are people with far higher stats than mine getting rejected without even an interview. Just need to hope that my 1 (maybe 2) horrible Casper sections don't screw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Due note that there is also the BS factor involved one here. Not to mention that CASPer is highly subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's fun to freak myself out and question my life decisions! My dad's the one who knows someone close to the admission committee and he's just helping me worry more. Sometimes, I wish I had parents who didn't care so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't haha we're all in this crazy 8 month adventure together. On a side note with CASPer there aren't many "safe" GPA/Verbal scores, which makes me uneasy.

skynet Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I can't decide whether the fact that the first year Mac students are marking CASPer is terrifying or great. On one hand I have no idea how trained they'd be for it (I'm guessing not a lot) but at the same time they just went through the nightmare of applying so might be more likely to take it seriously/be fair?

Hockeynut Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I find solace in the fact that if I was marking it I would be very lax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I taught a club, I was always a hard marker. Maybe the person marking mine was unusually nice. It would be nice to have some sort of feedback, even just a decile.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that the Casper is marked so that they remove your best and worst sections and only consider the ones in between! If thats the case, then you can feel a bit better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeynut Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 That's a pretty safe bet. I would imagine it'd be later in the week anyways, tgo through everything as this is their first year doing all e-mail.
