Same here! I wonder what that's all about and I wonder if everyone that applies have to do it?

Yeah, it's a part of their screening process! It's a good sign if you got asked to do it ☺️ I take mine tomorrow!

I emailed them to ask if the exam plays a huge role of getting an interview like for instance, based on how you do will determines whether you'll get an interview or not and they said it will not. The exam is only just a portion of the application so let's keep our fingers crossed!

Most schools use a point system. Interview counts as points, GPA, critical care exam, etc. They probably include it in their point system for admission.
