Panama Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Does anybody know how many IP applicants McGill had this year and how many IP interviews are usually given? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMDcanada Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 usually between 2-250 IP applicants.....and maybe there will be 130-150 interviewws....so u prob have over a 50% chance of getting an interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soho Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Check: http://www.medicine.mcgill.ca/admissions/faq_links/minifaq/mini_nbrapplicants_all_en.htm That says about 180 apply per year. Maybe that's gone up and they haven't updated it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergie Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 here is the link with the number of places by school http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25379 I went to the ROSS Un med school presentation last week, they presented a film w/th the same data. In addition, they said that the # of appnts increased slightly this year in most provinces. In general, the chance of getting an interview in McGill is about 249/172. 172 - total # of spots for 2008 entry and 249, probably,was the # of IP applicants. Hope this helps. s.

mikkey Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Your chances of interviewing at McGill are greater than 100%... Although I highly doubt that, I really wish it were true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMmd Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 you have to understand that 172 is the number of spots available.. including OOP, international, cegep and IP university... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutritional_lee Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 you have to understand that 172 is the number of spots available.. including OOP, international, cegep and IP university... From http://www.medicine.mcgill.ca/admissions/criteria/selection_categories_en.htm, there are ~75 class spots for IP university graduates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If 75 is the number of IP spots, and 249 is the number of IP applicants, we probably have about a: (75 x 2) / 249 =~ 60% chance of an interview (3 out of 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkey Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 why did you multiply by 2? Does McGill classicly invite twice as many applicants for the # of spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 why did you multiply by 2? Does McGill classicly invite twice as many applicants for the # of spots? Yeah it was an arbitrarily chosen number but from the people I know in med and who have been through this for the past 2-3 years it seems that McGill invites about 2x the number of IP spots. The number can vary (usually a tad higher I think!) but 2x is a good estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi guys! I would say that math could look like that: 172(today)-150(from previous year) = 22 spots were added 2-3 spots could go for Intnl appctns + OOP 19 spots are divided btw two group, roughly 45% x55% (CEGEP x Un grads) So, for the Un grads it would be equal to... 9 additional spots (?), including MD/MBA and MD/PhD, so it comes to ~ 6-7 Last year there were ~180 applications from ROQ for ~140 MD/CM spots. BUt! those who applied for MD/MBA and MD/PhD and were not qualified are now in the same pool with MD/CM, so, actual proportion is close to ~220-230 (some Intl and OOP would participate in other pool, so, I aproximated smth like "minus 20-30") applcnts for 140 Md/CM places So, we had 230/140 =~60% chance last year Today we have 6 more places, roughly ~146 spots and 249 IP applicants (not sure if all of them are applying for MD/CM, let's say everyone does): 146/249 = ~58.6% chance is almost the same, or 3/5 Not that bad, guys! It looks like most of us could potentially get an interview even if they interview 1.5x people (= ~219, i.e. 30-40 applicants will be rejected pre-interview) these are my two cents, correct me please. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soho Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 The 146 spots for IP applicants includes the MED-P program, which has about 80 seats. Anyways, good luck everyone and hopefully we get some good news this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, good luck everyone and hopefully we get some good news this week! Yuuup. But how does it work for Pre-meds? Is there any attrition? If those 80 seats are guaranteed, the picture is not that bright (146-80)/249= 0.265 --> ~25% or 1/4 Ouch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe one a year does not make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wasn't "249 IP applicants" just referring to the QC residents who were applying with Bachelors Degrees? (No CEGEP, and no Pre-med) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergie Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wasn't "249 IP applicants" just referring to the QC residents who were applying with Bachelors Degrees? (No CEGEP, and no Pre-med) Should be, cause the average annual # of Qc Med-P applicants exceeds ~350 for 80 spots: http://www.medicine.mcgill.ca/admissions/criteria/selection_categories_en.htm Obviously there are many more ROQ med-P apps than MD/CM apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavanshir Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Wasn't "249 IP applicants" just referring to the QC residents who were applying with Bachelors Degrees? (No CEGEP, and no Pre-med) Not according to McGill's website. They say that there were ~180 IP applicants last year. http://www.medicine.mcgill.ca/admissions/criteria/selection_categories_en.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
