Does anyone know how many people go through to the interview process and the number of people who actually gets the coop scholarship, if any of u know then specifically for actuary?

I've heard that there are a few dozen interview spots, and around 10 scholars per cohort for Actuarial Studies (it's one of the larger streams - many only have a couple scholars or none at all some years). Did you get an interview offer?

Congrats! I think it's competitive, but if you're already into the interview stage, you have a pretty good chance

Congrats, man, I managed to get an offer as well, but for chemical engineering. At open day I asked the students who had currently got the scholarship and they said that about 1/20 people get an interview and about half from the interview get the scholarship. Considering that a couple thousand people apply, I'd say that maybe 80 - 100 people have an interview for every course. Since actuary studies is one of the most popular, there are probably 15 - 20 people you are competing against.
