Anyone applying to McMaster ehealth program in Fall 2019?

Hey @MI94, still in the process of figuring that out. You are probably better off reaching out to current students or alumni of each program who can really speak to both programs. There is also some insightful info from previous forums on GradCafe!

Is anyone else still waiting on their formal letter as well? -
Hey Jeds, My letter said that I have 1 month from today to respond. Zoe also emailed to request that I try to let them know (informally) whether or not I intend to accept their offer by next week - I believe this is their way of estimating how many people will accept/how many more offers they can send out (I may be completely wrong). There was no mention of how many people applied to the program in the letter but I'm pretty sure I remember being told ~220 applications during my interview. I really hope you get some good news this week - your status is still under review so I think that's a good sign! All the best!

Exactly! I’ve spoken to a few students from both programs so now it’s really just a matter of me reviewing everything I’ve learned again & deciding from there. Best of luck to you - from what I’ve been told “there’s no bad decision per se” hehe

Thanks so much @RN_HI! I’ve done volunteering in a hospital as well as a summer placement in clinical research. I currently work at an HI start up (not in a tech role). My bachelor’s was in cell/molecular biology & economics ( random combo I know, I get it all the time lol). How about you? I’m assuming you’re an RN based off your username

Hey @jeds I do also have another preliminary offer from McMaster. Want to compare both final offers before deciding. I’ll try to remember to post if I accept UofT. Best of luck to you!!

The written component was very fair - extremely straightforward question. I think as long as you have some general knowledge of HI you will be fine. As @jeds mentioned, the question is broad - I personally think that they aren’t looking for “a right answer” per se, just want to see your thought process. Best of luck with your interview if you have one upcoming

Hi, I interviewed via Skype. I have no clue if it’s the exact same faculty members for everyone, but I will say that in a way I expected to be interviewed by the two interviewers I had - I had asked an eHealth alumni for names of potential interviewers, both of their names were mentioned. -

Hey I’m in-province as well, currently working full-time in Toronto (main reason why I was pushing for a Saturday interview lol). I applied to the course-based stream, how about you? Yep, waiting game it is - I also haven’t heard anything yet today. -

iakuasa replied to Stephen Gu's topic in Life Sciences
Honestly, I do not know what the order is, but I dont think its alphabetical - think they’re considering various factors (ie international/in vs out of province applicants, etc). I was actually invited to interview on Feb 23rd but couldn’t make it because of other commitments (they only emailed me Feb 22nd). Since then, I have been waiting for a new date & time. I have confirmed that they are still interviewing next week, there were several applicants who asked for certain days of the week & stuff - hoping to hear back today about next week. I’d suggest following up if you dont hear anything today! -

I believe a number of us are still waiting to be interviewed...I assume that explains one major reason why they haven’t notified those who have already been interviewed with admission offers -
