Premeds often worry about things like GPA, MCAT, and letters of recommendation when preparing for medical school applications; however, there is an increasingly common metric that you need to be aware of. The Casper test is designed to give medical schools insight into an applicants’ soft skills including empathy, ethics, problem-solving, and collaboration. Although it has been around for many years, it has grown significantly in popularity in recent years and more schools adopt it as a requirement each year.
Beginning with the 2022-2023 application cycle, there will be significant changes to the Casper format. There will be a new video response section in addition to the typed response section that will completely change how you need to prepare.
In this video, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the new Casper test and how to best prepare to maximize your chances of a medical school acceptance.
