Thanks for your reply, I read old threads and came to the same conclusion. Do you have any idea why Ottawa puts so many people on the "good waitlist?" I've heard that it's up to 250-300 people on it. Isn't that kind of excessive considering that usually there's only 85-90 people who get in off the waitlist?

Out of curiosity anyone know what the pre-interview weighting of GPA is? Does 50% sound accurate?

Thanks, that is a great resource. I've also gotten this from their website: Following the interview, preliminary rank order lists are prepared based on a combined score using the cGPA and the interview performance (a poor interview may not be ranked). In the event of ties in the final scores, candidates with the highest cGPA will be ranked higher. The admissions committee may take other factors into consideration when ranking each candidate. Does this suggest that post-interview, it's a 50/50 weighting?

Time Stamp: 4:24 Invite/reject: regrets IP/OOP: IP SWOMEN (Y/N): Y 2YGPA: 3.96 MCAT (CHEM/CARS/BIO/PSYCH): 129/130/132/128 Essays (X/8): 8/8 Feeling pretty gutted, not gonna lie. Spend a lot of time on those essays and not sure where to improve. Congrats to everyone with interviews.

Anyone know what the post-interview odds are at UOttawa? How many interviews, how many seats and how much wait-list movement? Can't find these numbers anywhere online .

Anyone know what kind of format UOttawa is? MMI or panel? Also when are interviews traditionally held?

Man looking at that chart posted above, crazy that in some years the first batch of interviewees had 44 days to prepare, and in some they had 16.

I really thought it would be today...now I truly have no idea. It's hard to do meaningful interview prep when you don't know if you even have an interview so let's hope we get decisions from all schools sooner rather than later.

So 2nd Wednesday of the month...it's certainly possible it's today. What time do they typically come out?

Do we know if it's used as a cut-off, or if it's worth a certain percentage? I know it's not stated anywhere explicitly but there's always some high quality speculation on these boards lol

IP/OOP: OOP Decision: Regrets MCAT: 519 aGPA: 4.4 Coefficients: None

OOP 519 MCAT 4.4 GPA No coefficients I think i wasted my money applying lol but oh well

Last year I think they come out on January 8th, and each prior year a little later. Rather find out sooner than later though.

Anyone else had no verifiers contacted? I'm certain I meet the academic cut-offs but many people I know have had their verifiers contacted already.

I don't see why they wouldn't provide this information. I know last year, in their rejection to IP applicants, they told them that their rejection was due to the CASPer. Maybe they would tell you if you asked, who knows.
