How you felt CASPER went: felt that it went quite well overall, wasn't happy with a few answers though

 

Geography : IP

Current year: completed first undergad, currently in last year of 2nd undergrad

 

First interview in Ontario ever, so I'm just ecstatic to have received this. For everyone with a lower GPA or for those of you whose first year GPAs drag you down, just know that you have hope and can still make up for it! Keep on trying and giving it the best you got, and something will work out! Good luck to everyone!

How you felt CASPER went: Shouldn't have picked the 8am slot and then go out the night before. I definitely didn't have a sense of the timing, which led to some thorough answers and other superficial answers.

Geography : IP

Current year: Finishing up 5th year

 

Sigh. I really want Mac, why don't they look at upward trend damn it. Gonna retake the MCAT this summer, too. Come on Queens...

CASPER: Typed as fast as i could; tried to explore both sides of issues; typed in point form instead of full sentences b/c it's easier to read and more concise; didn't correct any spelling mistakes b/c that took up time. I think prior practice with online MMI scenarios really helped. Timing is key! I made sure I wrote at least one argument for every question.
