Audemars Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 A friend told me that if you've received an interview, you've greater than a coin's toss chance of receiving an acceptance. Is it really true that acceptance rates post-interview are >50%? I mean, I don't wanna get my hopes up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineLCS Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yes, about 60%. According to the CMES report they handed out 330 acceptances for ~550 interviews. Now, it's not a pure coin toss, your interview counts for 70%, but you've gone from a pool of 5k to 500 for 206 spots, and that's more manageable.

premed101user Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 So if they only take 205-206 but hand out 330 acceptances, do ~125 people get in off the waitlist? That's a lot of waitlist movement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of waitlist movement! I know some US schools intentionally over accept, Taking yield % into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
