I was wondering if anyone had any information on the acceptance rate of applicants post-interview. Every statistics sheet that I can find on the internet seems to only have the amount of applicants compared to those that were accepted, without establishing how many of those applicants received interviews. Does anyone have a link to a website of some sort with any information on this, or anyone that has heard anything regarding this?

Also, sorry if this has already been posted somewhere. I couldn't find anything about it while browsing.
 
I just had my interview few days ago. Professor who interviewed me told me students who are invited to the interview are all qualified. They are just looking for their personalities so I think the acceptance rate is high if you did not screw up your interview.

Some schools posted their statistics of the number of students who are invited to the interview on their website. Most schools invite around three times the admission quota to the interview. If you receive the interview, you have the high chance to get into unless you have something missing and you will be put on hold.

I hope this will help. Good luck~
 
I found some actual numbers for you.

Entering class of 2020 - WesternU : number of interviews 226 / number of admitted 145 / 64% acceptance rate / matriculants 94 / quota to interview 2.4
Entering class of 2020 - SCCO : number of interviews 219 / number of admitted 164 / 75% acceptance rate / matriculants 103 / quota to interview 2.1
Entering class of 2020 - ICO : number of interviews 333 / number of admitted 277 / 83% acceptance rate / matriculants 120 / quota to interview 2.8
Entering class of 2020 - MCO : number of interviews 77 / number of admitted 75 / 97% acceptance rate / matriculants 38 / quota to interview 2.0
Entering class of 2019 - ICO : number of interviews 301 / number of admitted 241 / 80% acceptance rate / matriculants 124 / quota to interview 2.4
Entering class of 2018 - SCCO : number of interviews 236 / number of admitted 195 / 83% acceptance rate / matriculants 104 / quota to interview 2.3
Entering class of 2018 - ICO : number of interviews 357 / number of admitted 297 / 83% acceptance rate / matriculants 150 / quota to interview 2.4

It seems like schools invite about 2-2.5 times quota to the interview and post-interview acceptance rates are about 80%.
So if you land on interview, you have pretty high chance of getting accepted.
