This cycle, applicants are able to view their scores from the CASPER exam. I, unfortunately scored in the 2nd percentile (25-49%ile) and am quite horrified with this result. I am applying to schools like Baylor, Michigan, and UAB (as OOS) and have stats that align with their median MCAT/cGPA/sGPA. However, I am now worried that I will be screened out of receiving an interview simply because of my Casper score. I personally don't think the CASPER exam was a true reflection of my "morals" and "value system" - I literally could not answer half the questions they asked because I was a slow typer. I have strong letters of rec from people who know me well and have worked with me for a long duration. Can this potentially offset my Casper score and still keep me in the running for competitive schools like Baylor and Michigan?
