bozo22 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi, Was wondering if anyone knows what the post-interview acceptance rate is for Ottawa? How many students are interviewed and how many of those are successful in the end? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doktor Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi, Was wondering if anyone knows what the post-interview acceptance rate is for Ottawa?

Its about 1/5 for English stream and 1/3 for French stream (although this is estimates since I can't remember the exact numbers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsojc Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is there a stat about the number of interview invitees who are part of the french or english streams ...and how many from each stream are typically accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savac Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Its about 1/5 for English stream and 1/3 for French stream (although this is estimates since I can't remember the exact numbers!) I think it's a bit higher if you factor wait list movement. Last year I believe there were ~590 interviews for 164 spots (not counting wait list offers). This is also counting both the English and French streams obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the exact numbers for French but its about a 50% acceptance rate from what I've heard from classmates. The only downside here is the waitlist movement for French stream is much less than that for English stream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsojc Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I am going for english stream...just going by the numbers I'm assuming its a little lower then a 1/4 chance if you factor is waitlist...does anybody know the number of total french stream people being interviewed?

goingplaid Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Funny thing is that objectively speaking you get the 1/5 or 1/3 ratios. But when you think about it, it comes down to you as an applicant, and not everyone else. If you leave a great impression during your interview (which doesn't mean you leave feeling great/terrible) you've got more of a 9/10 chance, whereas if you bomb your interview, your chances are slim to none. It really comes down to understanding yourself and why you want to be who you're trying to become. If you can do that, and articulate it appropriately, you've got a better than 1/5 chance.

NSJ Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Given the amount the waitlist moves, my best guess is the acceptance rate is somewhere between 35-45%. That being said, whether you're in the 40% accepted or the 60% rejected, that's up to you. Prepare for the interview, know your ABS and be true to yourself. That's how you're going to get in. Stat's are nice, but at the end of the day, even if theres only a 1% chance, that doesnt change how you interview. You're still going to do your best to be the person that gets accepted.
