Hey there, 
To be honest with you, having a higher average would give you a better chance but IT DOES NOT guarantee admission. You can have a 99% average but if there are any red flags on your BIF or something you said during the interview, you can be rejected. 

That being said, I know someone who had a higher average and thought their interview went well and got rejected this year. While people having a lower average and a good interview getting accepted. I only had a 91% (50/50 average), 4th quartile casper, and got admitted! So with low 90s is still attainable. 

Do you think that a fourth quartile ensures admission then? Eg no possibility that a first or second quartile can be admitted even with a high average? I’m not sure how much Casper marks influence ranking

Casper is worth 25% of the average for your ranking to get an interview. After the interview, the interview is worth 35% while your average+Casper combined is worth 65%. So getting a fourth quartile doesn’t mean a guaranteed spot. I know people with extremely high averages and a lower quartile score but still got in. Overall don’t focus on one thing, think about what you can improve on. They are looking for well rounded individuals.

For anyone browsing this thread who is super down about their grades and are nervous to apply - I received an interview this year with a ~87 average and fourth quartile Casper. I did have excellent references, and ample experience. Not sure how I didn't get cut but it just goes to show, always try!

Hi! Did you get in?
