Wow, you guys' GPA and volunteer experiences are amazing. I would be surprise if you guys didn't get an offer this cycle 

Hey, I'm sure you are just as amazing. 

Hi guys, just joined this forum! I'm in the process of finishing up my supplemental application.

Question about what courses they look at when calculating your GPA. I did a Master of Arts in Criminology after my Bachelor's degree. Will they look at the master's marks since they are the "most recent 30 credits" or is it only undergrad marks they look at?

Thank you :)

Wrote my Casper today! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I'm feeling hopefully optimistic about it.

Does anyone here still have to take it?

I'm taking it Feb 11. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated ?

Hey all! For everyone who's submitted the supplemental, do you know if the character limit includes spaces?

Hi friend, from my understanding, they only calculate your most recent 30 undergrad credits. Best of luck to us all ? 

Does anyone want to work on the second part (the dreaded one) of the application together? The section where we only have a 50 word limit?

I just practiced my typing speed and took the prep test on the Casper website. The real one was pretty similar to it. My typing speed is around 60wpm and I was able to write 3-5 sentences per question

On my status is says, "Your file is ready for an evaluation". I wish I could know the decision allready instead of waiting 4 more months!

I handed in my final transcript on January 15. I can't wait to see the "Your file is ready for an evaluation". 

Hi there

I think somebody was enquiring about this. I found this on canvas under modules:

"Questions: Are there any word limits on Section 2 - List of Additional Learning and Accomplishments) in the BSN Supplemental Application?

Answer: Currently due to a technicality in the form, there is no word limit identified in this particular section/question. Even though a word limit not identified, the form may impose similar word limits. 

Please limit your responses for this question to a maximum of 300 characters including spaces. "

I hope this is helpful!

Hi! 

The supplemental form shows that the word limit is 50 words... Does this mean that we have to make sure that our answer meets both requirements (50 words and 300 characters)? I'm a little confused; the form does not mention 300 characters at all. Also, may I ask what you mean by "canvas under modules"? Is this accessible to every applicant?

Thank you ?

I'm taking it on Feb 11 as well! A friend who took the CASPer a few days ago told me that it was super easy and that it shouldn't be something that people take a long time to prepare for. As Gymah said above, apparently the questions are very similar to the prep test on the website ? I think the two most important things would be to practice typing speed and to have a general framework for answering questions.
