VR: 10

Casper Thoughts: Thought it went slightly better than last year, although I do remembering blanking out during one video which probably wasn't good.

4th year UG, IP

 

Not too surprised, my GPA was the lowest for Mac since they don't do any weighting. I will forever be haunted by my first year when it comes to Mac. Good luck to all that got an interview!

Invite/Rejection: INVITE! :eek:

cGPA: 3.81

How you felt CASPER went: Awful. I can type fast, but I am not that great at conveying my ideas well in such a short amount of time. Reading a few articles on bioethics was helpful, but in the end, I was just using my common sense and life experience to answer. I was not expecting anything from Mac, but this feels great! :D

Current year: Fifth year of undergrad (final year of second degree)

Casper Thoughts: This was my third time writing CASPer...in the past I hadn't focused my answers in a way that would resonate with the staff at Mac, so this time I made sure to appear a little more...sensitive...

How you felt CASPER went: Did not prepare for it...Realized 2 minutes before Casper started that there was a practice test accessible. Didn't have time to think...everything was a blur and just gave the honest answers of what I would do in each situation.

Good luck everyone!

Being OOP I was really expecting a reject from Mac so I guess waitlist is better than that. But srsly, who declines an interview? Not feeling particularly hopeful for waistlist movement.
