DrNan Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi all, I have applied to McGill twice and have been rejected twice post interview hence, need to widen my horizons and apply to other schools. I am wondering my chances of getting an interview and actually getting in post interview as an OOP for UofOttawa med. Does anyone have stats on this regarding how many spots there are for OOP? I have done CEGEP health science so I believe I meet the pre requisite criteria (above 70%) Undergrad GPA: 3.94 Grad (part time) GPA: 4.0 Also how is the interview process, I have just been practicing for MMI so I don't know much on panel interviews. and if anyone has done both McGill and UofOttawa interviews, could you please share how did you feel about the two? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie19 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 There is no OOP/IP distinction at uOttawa. It's seperated into language streams. English, French, CNFS (French outside Ontario and Quebec). You would be either English or French, if you speak both languages of course.

Matty66 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 UOttawa basically looks at GPA (you have a competitive one) and CASPer (focus on this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNan Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thank you!! that helps decrease my nerves, i thought Ottawa would have a quota for OOP like McGill and other Quebec schools do Maggie19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't matter in the OP's case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, doesn't matter in their case since their GPA definitely meets the cut-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNan Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I was reading over their criteria, I have studied full time undergrad in a professional field (5 courses per semester minimum) however, in the last semester we had only 4 courses in the curriculum. And in last year each semester we had one class that was pass/ fail. Does that mean I can’t apply since I don’t meet the 5 courses criteria? Thanks!
