Hi there.

Please note that we are experiencing some server errors. This will not negatively affect your test, and we appreciate your patience. An update will be sent out shortly!

Please note that the exam will be pushed back by 30 minutes and will start at 8:30PM EDT. On behalf of the CASPer team, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

LOL Just got an email saying that they're trying to fix everything but there might be a 30 minute delay

 

[mavric1298]

My timer went down, went green, then got a 502 error that the host crashed. Great job Casper

 

[stgt9202]

Everyone who took the July 15th 8pm test should get auto II's....

Yes. I second that. yes.

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

this is fun.

 

[mike27bk]

I feel for the people of next year who come to this thread for information only to be confused as to why there were 7 pages of panicking for a requirement that no longer exists.

 

[Pastamahn]

yep crashed. freaking out. so glad i checked this page and made sure it wasnt just me haha

Gotta love the SDN support

 

[Easonred57]

[neuroresearchguy23]

lmao^^ yesssss

 

[sharkbyte]

Has anyone else watched Tourette's Guy? I feel like just yelling "OH BOB SAGET!!!!!" every time I can't log in

 

[Dr.TonySoprano]

without SDN I woulda been a little stressed about this

 

[stgt9202]

NOW ALL MY EGGROLLS ARE GONE WHAT AM I GOING TO DO FOR 30 MINUTES

let's play a game

 

[ineedsleep93]

I want my $20 back. This is pure bull****.

 

[Caffein3]

frantically googling "how to handle biomedical ethics" to during crash down time 😛

 

[lomm]

hahaha like the adcom at NYMC is watching this thread and secretly knows everyone's real name behind the usernames

It is definitely testing our patience and resilience. Could we use this for our overcoming adversity essays? haha

 

[CFCDoc]

Is it really bad of me to be less panicked because everyone on here is panicking too?

 

[grey_wind]

why do I have a feeling we're going to get another email in 30 minutes saying we're getting rescheduled at no charge for another day....

 

[PatrickStarMDPHD]

Any chance our apps can be evaluated the old fashioned way, you know, without Casper?

 

[CellPowerhouse]

If this doesn't work in 30 minutes I'm most probably gonna withdraw.

 

[nwts]

I'm just really scared that they won't be able to get it running well, and I'll be moved to the August 16th day. First of all, I'm not certain I can take it that day. Second, it really sucks that this would delay my application by a month.

 

[Easonred57]

I wish I could demand a refund, but it's FAP so I'm just chilling here like... well I could be doing other things now

 

[jonthedon]

Maybe this is just a live version of one of their test questions

 

[overanxiety93]

Website to Casper has vanished.....
...Guess it's Casper..the (not)friendly ghost

 

[JessebenBenjamin]

I have a presentation to give at 7:00. They better not push this back even more!

 

[pb34]

Truthfully if they can't get it running shortly I may withdraw as well...

 

[lost_enthusiast]

"My biggest personal challenge to date was taking the CASPer exam....."

 

[semr523]

Are we still able to reschedule if we can't stay until the end of the test because of the reschedule?

 

[HybridEarth]

I did not receive the e-mail from CASPer saying the exam was pushed back 30 minutes. Uhhh?

 

[catnipchips]

IT'S STILL NOT WORKING.

 

[Chemstudent]

Anybody trying to log in but cannot?

 

[cma116]

lol literally everybody

 

[seanxu]

Anybody trying to log in but cannot?

same here.

 

[PatrickStarMDPHD]

It says my login is now invalid too....lol

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

how about that all-star game...?

 

[sungjy1231]

Guys, CASPer is observing SDN right now. This is part of it.

 

[ScubaManD]

I've refreshed this page like twenty times in the last twenty seconds and I'm just enjoying the lolz while I wait.

 

[grey_wind]

we should start a poll on the outcome of this- my moneys on them trying to reschedule us for August, resulting in uproar

 

[neonghost]

Ugh. I can't do anything in 20 minutes. No time to eat, shower, work out.... just gotta sit here and waste time.

 

[nwts]

I don't think they realize that pushing the test back half an hour doesn't mean that they have half an hour to work on this because everyone will be logging in before the scheduled start time.

 

[Mr. Shelby]

how about that all-star game...?

Brockstar shoulda been MVP for that steal

 

[Chemstudent]

"Email + Password Combination is not valid"?

 

[PatrickStarMDPHD]

I'm working on another secondary while Casper loads lol, got to be productive.

 

[Theseus]

we should start a poll on the outcome of this- my moneys on them trying to reschedule us for August, resulting in uproar

Riots?

 

[stgt9202]

I say SDN CASPER Sleepover....it's going to be a long night if this ever gets fixed tonight

 

[Pastamahn]

I was so close to withdrawing my app today and decided I might as well take this test. I regret my decision fully.

 

[Chasing Never Land]

Dear CASPer, you suck. Sincerely, everybody.

Will be late to a birthday bc of this crap

 

[sharkbyte]

Hm. Let's review our experience of applying to NYMC, shall we?

1. They don't have a "submit" button, just an "exit" button once you get to the payment page. So if you unknowingly click exit without entering other info in (which could happen to anyone), you get locked out of the secondary, and you can't make changes.

2. They're making us take a CASPer test, which is basically an online MMI when they can just go ahead with regular MMI's in interviews.

3. CASPer crashes when everyone's supposed to take it, cuts people off after four sections, and has to reschedule people for tests.

Losing interest in NYMC.

 

[nwts]

"Email + Password Combination is not valid"?

That's what we're all getting.

 

[hopeforacure]

Ah, now I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error! The joy of software.
