Programs are looking to make sure that students are not only academically capable but also possess suitable personal and professional qualities that make them more likely to succeed in the profession.
Each part of Altus Suite focuses on specific personal and professional attributes to paint a more complete picture of who you are. Altus Suite gives you multiple opportunities to showcase your people skills and unique qualities, while programs benefit from using this information at multiple points throughout their processes.
It depends on what type of program you’re applying to. Paramedics, applicants to programs in the UK, and applicants to Canadian post-graduate medical programs are only taking Casper at this time. Applicants to US medical schools and graduate medical programs are required to complete all three parts (Casper, Snapshot, and Duet), while all other programs require Casper and Snapshot. To confirm which parts of Altus Suite you must complete, check your Altus Suite account after registering for your Casper test. The required components of Altus Suite for the program(s) you are applying to will appear on the Home page. As well, you can check the individual program’s website to see which assessments they require as part of the application process.
