  1. Unfortunately all I know is what is posted on these gradcafe forums and on the University websites. Even though I'm local I don't know anyone personally who has completed these programs.
  2. I applied to regular stream and during my interview they told me I should be considering the executive stream instead (because of my long work history) and if I would like to be considered for both programs, to which I said yes. I then got an offer for the executive stream. I'm happy with this outcome because I can continue working and they'll help me to set up a project. I think executive is catered to those with significant work experience but they are also aiming to enroll 20-25 in the regular and 10-15 in the executive.
  3. I think they offer you emhi only because they want to try and fill the emhi stream with enough students so that they can run both programs. I hear what you are saying about it being shorter but keep in mind we also start the program three months earlier than the regular stream. So we probably finish only 3 months later instead of six months later. Don't we actually end up doing more in class because we need to take 1.5 electives whereas the regular stream only takes 0.5 elective? With the executive, I'm a bit worried about getting enough practical experience in the field since I will be doing a project instead of a 4 month full time practicum. Of course the main benefit of the executive is financial, and still being able to work while going to school. Also since this a full time program, I plan to take out funds from my rsp via the lifelong learning plan.
  4. Thanks everyone for your support during this application process. All the best in everyone's future endeavors!
  5. @RN_HI I'm leaning towards accepting it. Did you get an offer to both streams or just the executive? I think it would be a pretty small group. I think there's 35 total students and I reckon 10-15 would be from the executive stream and 20-25 would be from the regular? Are you going to accept it?
  6. I got an offer today around 3pm for the executive stream. Anyone else got an offer for the executive stream? It starts June 21st.
  7. Congrats. Lots of offers coming out today. I still haven't heard anything. Hopefully tomorrow!
  8. Hello all, I still haven't heard anything back at this point and my status is still under review. I really expected to hear back something today. Up until now I haven't contacted them but I just emailed Zoe a few minutes ago in the hopes this will elicit a response. Hoping I'll at least get onto a waiting list. To the people who got an official offer today... Did they mention how long you have to reply? Did they mention how many people applied to the program? Thanks and good luck to those who are still waiting.
  9. To those who got an offer: Congrats! and... are you going to accept the offer or are you considering other options? Anyone doing the executive stream?
  10. Thank you mystreee. Yeah, I never got an email to create an JoinID for some reason. For those who've gotten an offer... Did your status sgs application change to "Decision Made". Mine still says "under review". Thanks.
  11. Did you receive this email because you were applying for the MHI program or did you request an Acorn account? I'm thinking perhaps you getting that email is an indication that they were going to offer you admission so they could update your status to "invited"? I've not gotten any such email.
  12. I would agree the job market is pretty good. I get contacted at least once every couple of months by recruiters. It's true you can take online courses to upgrade the MSc to the AuD. One possible advantage in the states is there may be more opportunities for the less common jobs in audiology like cochlear implants, research, teaching college or university courses related to audiology, and vestibular assessment/rehab. But I'm not certain if this is the case.
  13. Do you have to be a recent U of T student to have this acorn account?
  14. So to recap. So far birds got into the program last year, M. Shelley and lily27 had early acceptance, and sun.flower got accepted yesterday. Anyone else hear back yet?
  15. The questions were definitely a bit more complex than that. The questions were more like, "Tell me a time that...". So you'll need to think of specific stories from work or group projects and apply it to the question they are asking.
  16. Congrats to both of you for getting into UBC! I graduated from that program 10 years ago and it was a great program and I've had a great career in Audiology. I would definitely go to UBC over going to the States. The instructors and practical experiences were great, not to mention how much time and money you can save by going to a Canadian school.
  17. I thought interviews were over. Do you have an upcoming interview? If so, good luck. The written component seemed pretty easy. It's a fairly broad question with different possible answers. Not sure how they evaluate that part or what they consider to be a good answer.
  18. I haven't heard anything. I think we're all still in limbo for the next week or so. Trying to focus my attention on other things since it's now out of our control.
  19. Haven't posted in a bit since I was on holiday. I thought the interviewers seemed interested during my interview but it's hard to tell how things went. I haven't heard anything yet (no early acceptance). Still hoping for a regular acceptance in the next few weeks. It sounds like this program has gotten a lot more competitive these past few years if there are now 220 applications for 35 spots as one poster mentioned. I haven't applied to any other schools. Does anyone know someone who graduated from this program? If so, did completing this program open a lot of doors for them? Thanks. Congrats to those who have already been accepted.
  20. In terms of how many people apply... I've cut and pasted what someone else wrote in the 2018 forum for this program (located on page 5 of that gradcafe forum). Apparently in 2016 there were 116 applicants and 62 of them got offers (because people turn down the offer as they get accepted to other programs). I'm guessing this year will be somewhat similar unless the popularity of the program has either decreased or increased significantly over the past three years. For last year's intake, there were 116 domestic applicants, and 62 of them received offers of admission (and subsequently 36 of those applicants accepted the offer). So it appears more than half of applicants get in. On the other hand, it appears you shouldn't waste time and resources applying if you're an international applicant. source: https://issuu.com/dlsph/docs/dlsph_report_2016-17_final page 8
  21. Congratulations to everyone who has gotten through the interview. I finished mine this morning! As everyone else has said, there's basically four parts: A general written question that you do in a room with two other people, a room where you bring in your presentation and follow up with a few questions afterwards, a room where they ask some complex behavioral questions where you need to draw upon experiences from school and work, and another room where it's very general behavioral questions. The order you end up doing the last three parts in will be randomized and you will rotated with the people that did the written question with you. I found the complex behavioral room to be the most challenging part but none of it was too bad and everyone is really friendly. Good luck!
  22. Hello: 1. For what to wear, I'm thinking business formal just to be on the safe side. 2. In terms of preparation, I'm thinking what M.Shelley said, but also once I've fully prepared my presentation I'm thinking of also reviewing some of the profs' research. Hoping it might help with the written question and will help getting me thinking a bit more about Health Informatics in general. 3. For the one page hand out I was wondering the same thing. I'm thinking it needs to be 4 to 6 power point slides on a single sided handout.
  23. I just got an email at 8am this morning for an invite for an interview. My interview is at 10am March 5th. Good luck everyone.
