Jen21 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello, Does anyone know how many OOP's applicants are, approximately, interviewed for this application cycle? Thanks, Jen21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Considering they can only accept up to 22 people, I would guess they interview 75-100 people? I'm just guessing based on UBC's stats. They have 12 spots for OOP and are intervewing 50... Most schools seem to interview more than double the number of spots they have...for OOP they might interview a few more than that b/c OOP's are probably more likely to turn down if they get into an IP school... Just speculating though...no idea really:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen21 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 You may be right. However, I believe that I have read somewhere that the figure is around 77 (someone might wish to confirm/reject this); it would be relatively beneficial to know, if granted an interview, what your odds are post interview. One thing for certain, the estimated number of OOP's accepted stands at 22, as indicated by last years stats. Considering they can only accept up to 22 people, I would guess they interview 75-100 people? I'm just guessing based on UBC's stats. They have 12 spots for OOP and are intervewing 50...

Monster Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 77 is between 75 and 100 isn't it?? anyway...there's no need to worry about it until you actually get an interview:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctl Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 "For the September, 2008 entering class there were 310 Alberta residents interviewed and 70 other residents of Canada interviewed for a total of 380 applicants interviewed." http://www.afmc.ca/pdf/2009AdBk.pdf So 70 applicants for 22 spots. Not bad, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctl Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Keep in mind that OOP applicants might be more likely to decline due to offers elsewhere. 57 people declined offers in 06/07 - I'm curious how many are OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandolin Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 They are interviewing 480 people this year. Don't know the breakdown between IP and OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearless Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 OOP interview numbers mean very little... if you get an interview in the first place, it's a Very Good Thing. i'm pretty sure most places end up going deep into their OOP waitlist.

Wut? Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Roughly 1 in 3 applicants last year got an applicant. Sounds about right for next year's class size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rpuff Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 that was the 2012 class. 2013 is 188 total. my guess is if last year they interviewed 70 something for 22 OOP spots they'll probably have 85-90 OOP invites for this year.. keep in mind there are two separate pools for OOP. my cousin is a 2011 and she was one of two 3rd year OOP's accepted, but for those two spots i think they interviewed over ten applicants. whereas if you're a 4th year OOP then your ratio of interviewees to actual spot would be smaller.

bmaghd Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 where are you getting this info from? Can you provide the link or are you saying this based on speculation? On the website, it says that the class size is 142--unless you have read it elsewhere that was the 2012 class. 2013 is 188 total. my guess is if last year they interviewed 70 something for 22 OOP spots they'll probably have 85-90 OOP invites for this year.. keep in mind there are two separate pools for OOP. my cousin is a 2011 and she was one of two 3rd year OOP's accepted, but for those two spots i think they interviewed over ten applicants. whereas if you're a 4th year OOP then your ratio of interviewees to actual spot would be smaller.

lee_chick Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 The 142 is for the class of 2012 (at least that's what it says on the website). I don't know if the 2013 class size is officially listed anywhere but 188 is in line with the unofficial word on campus that class size is increasing by about 30% this year (I work in another faculty and a number of my colleagues have mentioned this to me when they hear I'm applying).

No, class size is not increasing by 30%. By 30 seats, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rpuff Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 U of A CAPS put info in their interview prep handouts. 480 interviews for 188 spots. i'd trust that they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
