nutritional_lee Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Roughly how many offers are sent out? From what I remember of the AFMC stats, a total of 160-170 offers were sent out last year. It's likely impossible to guess how many offers will be sent out this year until they know how many people will decline their initial offers.

kaymcee Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Last year, 199 offers were sent out for the 100 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Last year, 199 offers were sent out for the 100 spots. thanks a lot Kaymcee. For anyone else here wondering, it varies from year to year depending on the number interviewed, i believe that 530 were interviewed last year vs the 504 this year. Thus 199/530.

Guest begaster Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Are those the initial offers, or do they include waitlist offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostintime Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 That's like ...37%. =( =( =( Why is it so low? AFTER interviews? And don't only like 1/3 of the applicants get interviews? So isn't that like 1/9 of people get accepted? Ok I guess 11% isn't THAT bad? (kinda is when most people who apply this cycle already know their MCAT/GPA scores)...

Alastriss Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 It varies from year to year. and btw that is a worst case scenariou of 37%. That means essentially that no one waitlisted in the upper 99 ended up withdrawing. I think that the top 220-230 people got in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJaswal Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wonder how many people got an interview at both Western and Queen's, since their MCAT criteria were so different this year, unlike other years. And I wonder if this will impact the waitlist movement. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutritional_lee Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Likely fewer than last year, I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wonder how many people got an interview at both Western and Queen's, since their MCAT criteria were so different this year, unlike other years. And I wonder if this will impact the waitlist movement. Any thoughts? Well I also agree that there are less people with interviews at queen's AND western. This may be good or bad. It depends on a few things. If there are more people that have western and queen's then its possible to see less overall waitlist movement in your favor, if you are a waitlisted applicant at both schools. This is because it is likely that people get off the waitlist at like UWO, to go to queens, or people at queen's go to UWO. So If you are waitlisted at both schools, the waitlist flow ends up being neutral (Ie one person withdraws from the waitlist at queen's and that's good for you, but only to accept a spot at western, and that's bad for you.) However when there are less seats shared then it could be either good or neutral for people with both Queen's and UWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllieGee Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Only relevant because I think we're a reasonably random sampling, and there are probably still a number who will get both? (I took stats a loooong time ago LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I took stats a loooong time ago LOL) haha, indeed... we are definitely a random sample. I didn't... thus we can conclude... 2:1 margin of people who are also interviewing at western Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Id say its around 2/3 the people interviewing at one school is also interviewing at another. I think people on premed are significantly better than your average applicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vip_138 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 also remember that there might be less overlap with western but there might be more overlap now with toronto seeing as 9's are the same for mcat cut-off (except the WS of course). Its hard to predict what'll happen this year with so many things to consider like dbl cohort gone, multiple mcat sittings, tough time getting mcat sitting seats, and changes in selection criteria. i guess the only thing you can really do is wait ... and try not to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaysersoze Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 interview time is approaching...i'm resisting the urge to write down answers cause i wanna sound natural so i've just been going over my history combing it for interesting "describe a situation..." stories....i'm pretty stressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
