gingercookies Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can anyone comment on the type of interview that Ottawa has? Is it MMI, panel, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBgeegee17 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can anyone comment on the type of interview that Ottawa has? Is it MMI, panel, etc.? Ottawa interviews are a traditional panel interview with 3 interviewers. As for the type of questions asked: it can be anything! My best advice is to try to relax and be yourself, have a genuine conversation with them and don't doubt yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much, that is very helpful. Is there any chance that you know how many students are interviewed and how many seats there are for the incoming class?

icecreamlover22 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does anyone know how many applicants, interviewees, and the class size Ottawa takes? Can't find a stats page online. Thnx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoKaká Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 not sure on # of applicants, but usually ~575 interviews, 164 acceptances (100 English, 64 French) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticpremed Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Do they send out all of the invites together, and rejections later? Its been 40 minutes since the first wave of invites came out, according to the invite/rejects forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBgeegee17 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 not sure on # of applicants, but usually ~575 interviews, 164 acceptances (100 English, 64 French) To clarify, it's 116 in English and 48 in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBgeegee17 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does anyone know how many applicants, interviewees, and the class size Ottawa takes? Can't find a stats page online. Thnx! I'm not too sure about English, but for French it's roughly half the class size, so about 130 interviewees. So it would be about 230 interviewees in English if it was the same thing. Ottawa has more than 4000 applicants a year, according to OMSAS EDIT: 80-100 in French...not 130( don't know where I got that )...again, I'm not to sure about English stats.

sdj78we9jtf2o3mgfvj298j Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Occasionally, vacancies occur during the interview process, Should this happen, you may be contacted (by telephone or by email) for an interview. We thus encourage you to continue with your education program to ensure that you fulfil all prerequisites. Does this mean I was wait listed?

Actually, yes, wow my math skills are obviously not good this morning. So yes, about 80-100 french interviewees for 40 places and about 16 interviewees for the 8 CNFS places in French Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingercookies Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does anyone know where on Ottawa's website would we be able to find information about the interview, statistics from previous years, etc. I can't seem to find anything other than this blurb under the interview tab: "No candidate will be admitted without an interview. These are usually held in February-March. Candidates will be invited based on the minimum WGPA set for that year for the particular group to which they belong, combined with the results of the non-academic assessments. A composite score of the interview assessment combined with the WGPA is then calculated and a final selection is made for the offers of admission."

NBgeegee17 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hey guys. Does anyone know how flexible Ottawa is in terms of rescheduling? Two other schools have interviews on the day mine is scheduled. I know some people who changed theirs last year, you should definitely try to contact them soon to see!

NOCat Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does everyone that's rejected get that little blurb about vacancies opening up sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoKaká Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Does everyone that's rejected get that little blurb about vacancies opening up sometimes? I got the same thing. Last year they told me I hadn't made academic excellence (I had 3.84) but this year I had 3.93... yet they didn't mention the academic excellence part. Did anyone else get the same thing? "The Admissions Committee will review 3,921 applications this year for the 164 positions available and will interview approximately 575 candidates. After careful review of your application, we sincerely regret to inform you that you were not among those applicants selected for an interview. Occasionally, vacancies occur during the interview process, Should this happen, you may be contacted (by telephone or by email) for an interview." So confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHCClassII Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 For those who got regrets this year, did everyone's email said this- "Occasionally, vacancies occur during the interview process, Should this happen, you may be contacted (by telephone or by email) for an interview. We thus encourage you to continue with your education program to ensure that you fulfil all prerequisites." Confused as to whether this is a confusing sentence part of the rejection email or an interview waitlist of sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticpremed Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I also got the part about vacancies and potentially being contacted later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMedGyal Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yes I got the same, I feel like it is still regrets but to keep your eyes peeled if people drop their interview Got the same too but for me that's false hope, who would refuse an interview!

maritimegirl Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 What is the best way to request a change in your interview date? Email? Phone? I received March 19th, but will be in a mental health clinical at that point. Would this be considered a circumstance that they'd consider?
