  1. Hey everyone, Thought I'd make this thread to connect those applying to the MHI program for entry in 2021, whether it be encouragement(s), advice and/or application update(s). A bit about myself: Currently in undergrad (class of '21), studying Biochemistry with dual minors in Stats & Business. I've worked as a clinical aide in primary care, in healthcare technology, non-health technology and I'll be (hopefully) working in healthcare informatics this fall for my final co-op term. I'd love to get some info on the following, if anyone knows more about these topics: Are interview invites on a rolling basis at U of T? Are there a set number of interviews invites the program sends out? U of T calculates your GPA based on your last 10 classes (or equivalent). I'm concerned as my minors resulted in my final classes being stats and business-oriented, as opposed to the life sciences and health sciences backgrounds typical of MHI students. Should I take classes, this fall, in health sciences and/or IT to showcase relevant coursework? What about the winter semester prior to the fall entry? Will that semester matter at all, or will it be too late?
  2. Hey guys! I am more or less new to the MHI scene, and I'll be applying to the Fall 2021 entry cycle (U of T). I'd love to hear from all applicants in this thread, ideally successful/waitlisted applicants, about a concern of mine, due to my less traditional background. Short Summary I am class of 2021 (Undergrad; Biochem w minors in Stats & Business; GPA is good but not stellar) with my final semesters being Stats & Business because of my minors (Mix of Accounting, IT, Marketing). I'm asking if I should try to fit some health sci/bio classes for relevance. Work experience (co-op/internships) is strong point of application (health admin, health tech, clinical work, non-health tech). Long(er) Version I've read that the program isn't very technical and most students/alumni, with which I've talked, have Life Sciences/Psychology/Health Studies/Nursing backgrounds. I have a Biochem degree (Class of 2021) but my last semesters have been Statistics and Business (Mostly Accounting, Information Systems, Marketing) classes due to my minors. Since they only consider your last 10 courses, I'm enrolling in a health science class on healthcare technology, but I fear that my last year of classes won't be relevant enough (GPA is over cutoff, but won't be extremely high). Among my most recent classes (which they will consider) will be Applications of Stats in Business, Tech and Health, Managerial Accounting, Market Research, Management Information Systems, etc. I do have the option to fit in more biology coursework (computational bio, physiology) in the winter semester of 2021, but I fear that it'll be too late of a semester. Professionally, I'll be applying with experience (co-ops/internships) in healthcare administration, health tech, non-health tech, and in the clinic. I think that my strong point will be my story. I'm just really concerned about their view on my coursework choice. Has anyone applied with a less or non-life sciences background? Also, are interview invites rolling basis? I've read about processing of applications. Congratulations to the incoming class! Hope to be part of the next batch!
