My stats are similar to yours and it's my first time applying. I think you should definitely apply! I feel the same way about my applications and its very nerve racking. I submitted two of mine last week it has been verified and under review for South University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked last years forum and it looked like they started sending out interviews around this time. Fingers crossed for everyone, I hope you get an interview!

Situational based and a few prompts after a scenario is given. Obviously South University is requiring it.

marlee28 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I just graduated in May so I'm still getting everything together to submit by the August 1 deadline. I noticed most of you have already submitted and are mentioning interviews. Do they give early interviews for people who submit their application early?

summermorse Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 @marlee28 Most programs utilize rolling admission, meaning that they review applications as they receive them. So the earlier you apply, the better your chances are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHACHEE Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Be ready to wait for results - I took it on the 3rd and it is still pending results. says it takes on average 3-4 wks to be graded and sent to school.....Oh yeah, Test results are not shared with applicants! See below for statement from email. ***Please note that there is a processing period which typically lasts about four weeks. We do not share CASPer test results with applicants, they will only be shared with the schools on your distribution list. CASPer test results are only valid for one application cycle, and only for the program type and country that you reserved for.*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
