Decently harder, I believe the TFR score is around 10 points higher for OOP

EDIT: this is for pre-interview not post

Thank you Do you know about the post-interview chances at all as well?

No prob! Well they offer up to 10% of seats to OOP applicants (~29). Nobody quite knows how they evaluate candidates post-interview, likely it's GPA/EC/interview/MCAT in some sort of distribution. You can see on their posted statistics how many OOP applicants there were.

Post interview, all applicants are evaluated the same way. There is only ONE queue for all applicants not 2 separate queues for IPs and OOPs.  Seats are filled by the ranking of applicants but OOPs will have a ceiling of 29 seats. If there are 29 OOPs selected already, the next available seat will go to the next IP on the list even though there are other OOPs before him/her. This is the reason why you sometimes see less than 29 OOPs in an entering class because there were some IPs who scored higher than the next available OOP.

Thank you, that helps a lot! Do we know how much the ranking is influenced by MMi, GPA, NAQ, MCAT, etc?

That is the million dollar question... nobody knows the formula they use post interview.

Hmm, I just checked and based on a few crude calculations, it looks like a total of 329 acceptances were issued last year (including waitlist) out of 573 interviewed. And of that, only 20 OOP got in, so there were still room for more. 

[carolynH]

There were 20 OOP in last entering class means there were 9 IP applicants scored higher than the next available OOP.  Actually there were 46 OOP that got offered but 26 of them declined. The next 9 OOP on the list (the 47th to 55th OOP on the list) just didn't score as high as the IP on the ranking list. Therefore, the 9 seats were also filled by IP.

They interviewed 81 OOP applicants last cycle and sent out 46 offers. That's 56.8% success rate once you get an interview. That's  more than half, a very high chance!

Any time I felt down during the application process, this calculation is what kept my hopes alive haha

Does UBC send out more than 29 offers because they know that a large majority of OOP decline the offer? Or do they send out 29 and then put the other competitive OOP on a waitlist?

They sent out an initial 29 offers and put others on a waitlist. The additional 17 offers went to people on the waitlist as the original invitees rejected their offers.

How do you know there is only one group post-interview for in-province and out of province? Or is that just speculation?
