StayHappy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 hey I was just wondering, is U of C generally a place where IP candidates are less likely to be accepted post interview compared to the rest of schools in Canada? Just thinking because of the ~150 spots for ~570 interviewees. I know in the end this doesn't matter, but was just curiousThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHeBunny Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Its 155 seats vs. 537 interviews However, 200 invites sent out first round, which makes the success a bit less than 40% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for the corrections. What do you mean by first round? As the waitlist moves, there are further (small) rounds of acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBronto2019 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Last year, same number of applicants interviewed but on their admission stats histograms, 'Successful applicants' had n = 245. So I'm assuming that at some point last summer, 245 students received an offer (immediately or off waitlist). Pretty good odds, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't most of these "extra" offers be sent to OOP applicants? Just comes to my mind because from what I understand turnover is very low (most accept an offer elsewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't most of these "extra" offers be sent to OOP applicants? Just comes to my mind because from what I understand turnover is very low (most accept an offer elsewhere) Based on what doctak said, it may be distributed across based on proportions? Like 85% IP vs. 15% OOP for all offers? Unless they have 2 separate waitlists for IP and OOP which makes WAYYYYY more sense. I know a bunch of IPs last year that went to Alberta or other OOP schools so once they fill the 15% quota, if even, the rest should be sent to IPs.

I was reading old blog posts from last year from ucmed, and near the end Dr. Walker wrote "We have made about 30-40 WL offers so far. We are at a point of very little movement. I anticipate “standing down” a number of people on the waitlist in the next week or so." 155 + 30-40 is nowhere near the 245 stated in the stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think there's just one waitlist as far as I understand. They just accept the next person in line until they fill the OOP quota, then skip any OOPs after that. Could be wrong though.
