Does anybody know how many offers are sent after the interview? what are OOP chances post-interview? Based on stats from prior years, perhaps around 200-250. Don't know the numbers for OOP, but I imagine they receive more offers because these are highly competitive applicants and tend to have multiple schools to choose from.

Eng, MBAGeography : IP "For those that were not fortunate enough to receive an interview, I would like to emphasize what I said in my letter and stress that this is really a reflection of the basic math inherent in a process that involves far more qualified candidates than there are positions. While the file review is not without merit, and a certain amount of rigour, there is also some chance involved. I would strongly encourage you to view this as an outcome of having been unlucky, not one of having been unworthy." 02/05/2019 Dr Ian Walker chxiel and LostLamb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the cutoff last year by 2 percentiles and only improved my application (I thought) so a bit disappointed by no interview but subjectiveness certainly plays a big role in how your application is viewed.
