Fall 2017 - Master of Health Informatics University of Toronto
catman14 replied to CoffeeAddict's topic in Waiting it Out
My interview was in the 3rd week of February and I got the informal acceptance e-mail 2 days ago. My status on SGS changed to 'decision made'. Now I'm waiting on the official letter in the mail! I applied for the course based stream, not executive. Has anyone heard back from McMaster? I'm still waiting to hear back (Iris said this week). Not worried about it though since I'm going to be choosing UofT!- 111 replies

I got an email from uoft yesterday that I'm in! The offer email will be coming in the mail (hopefully soon)! I'm almost sure I will be accepting uoft but will wait on McM! .- 111 replies

Has anyone else besides me also applied to McMasters MSc ehealth program? I just got an update from Iris saying that they're finishing up interviews and will be deciding on candidates next week! Hopefully I hear some good news, but I'm also going to be waiting to hear from UofT before I make my decision.- 111 replies

Good to hear about the interview. I was at the webinar in November for uoft and Julia said that there is like 175 applicants, they interview 75 and like 35 get in...That's why the wait makes me nervous..Hopefully everything goes well! Any reason you chose to apply for uoft only and not McM also?- 111 replies

Hey, the questions were just typical behaviour interview questions, like "describe a challenge you've had, why this program, tell me about yourself", don't be nervous, treat it like an opportunity to meet the professors!- 111 replies

uoft sent me an email in Feb with a date and time for the interview. Not sure how their interview priority works though, it could be random and they just interview people based on domestic/international students..who knows. I wouldn't write off the chance for a uoft interview just yet just because I've read some people have even had interviews in April! Maybe you could contact uoft mhi grad department and ask? I think thats what I would do in your case- 111 replies

I thought it was a standard interview much like for a job with a lot more focus on behavioural questions. I think I talked too much and could have been unclear in some of my answers, but overall I think if you practised behaviour style questions it should be OK! Check out last years MHI thread, lots of people had late interviews. I have a couple of years experience working in healthcare, some volunteer experience and I learn coding for side projects and generally for fun. My GPA overall was like 3.something and last 2 years was 3.7. I've heard some people were accepted during their last year at uni with no professional work experience too.- 111 replies
