Do OOP offer declines go to OOP individuals on the waitlist? Or will it go to either OOP or IP?

Waitlist offers go out based upon applicant's final scores regardless of IP status. If an IP waitlisted applicant has a higher final score (pre-interview + interview) than an OOP waitlister, the IP applicant would have priority for getting in

Is this true? Don’t OOP tend to have higher GPAs and MCATs so they would likely have a higher prescore no? Wouldn’t the waitlist benefit OOP people then?

You are correct, OOP waitlisters as a group would likely have higher final scores due to the higher pre-score cutoffs and would thus be more likely to get accepted off the waitlist. My example was simply a hypothetical one comparing two made up waitlisters. I'm pretty sure that the way the waitlist works was detailed in a blog post sometime way back although I don't remember the precise post.

Just a heads up to all the waitlisters... in most years they never actually fill up the max 15% OOP slots, which is good news if you're IP (and doesn't really matter since you're OOP as seats are filled competitively so if <15% OOP matriculate its because many higher-ranked OOP applicants got in elsewhere and chose not go to UofC).
