    I've accepted it! MHI at UofT was my first choice. MHI and MPH at UW were my second and third choices.

    Honestly doesn’t seem to be a good move on their part as anyone deciding between UofT and UW would have no choice; seeing that the deadline for UofT is at the end of March.

    Nothing yet for me. I also applied to MPH at UW and received an offer back in late February but seems like the MHI program isn't working on the same schedule?

    Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I submitted my presentation the day before my interview (interview was at 11am and I submitted it in the afternoon the day before). You will be sharing your screen during the interview but I assume you should aim to have the changes finalized before the day your interview is.

    Nope, I'd say it doesn't follow an "interview" structure at all. The participants each gave a brief introduction in the beginning, then one of them briefly lays out the structure of the interview which is 5 minutes for your project proposal, and the remaining time (15 minutes) for questions about the project and your people skills (linked to the project). In a sense its structured almost like a thesis defense. I would assume that its done this way since they would have gotten all they wanted to know about you as a person from your CV and letter of intent and would like to know more about how you think.

    The interview was held virtually on Zoom. There were behavioural questions asked, but they were related to the project. The one I was asked was "What type of role would you play in your project?", which was one of the questions included in the guide. They didn't say when to expect their response and I didn't feel it was appropriate to ask about it at the end since the entire interview was focused on the project rather than the application.

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to give an update on my interview. There were two faculty members present (as the invitation email noted) who made brief introductions and asked me to jump right in to the 5-minute project presentation (I was asked to share my screen). They are strict on the 5-min maximum and one of them reminds you when you are down to the last minute to wrap things up. After you finish, they'll ask you questions that come from the guide they sent with inviation. They didn't ask all of the ones listed there, but be prepared for any selection of them. I think I was asked 3 or 4 of them. With 1 minute left, they asked if I had any questions for them. Whether you are asked this depends how close you get to the end of the interview slot, as someone on the reddit thread this year who had their presentation on the same day mentioned that they were told to email if they had questions. Overall, it went as expected, but its hard to determine whether I did well. The interviewers seemed to be engaged with the presentation and topic but that may not be a strong indicator of anything.

    Hi! I emailed them on the 21st of January and got a reply on the 22nd.

    Thank you! The email regarding the interview came from ihpme.grad.assist at utoronto.ca. In a previous email to the faculty I asked about how we would be notified of status changes and Christina, the student admissions and placement coordinator, let me know what updates came from ihpme rather than the SGS portal.

    Hi! I submitted my UofT MHI application on November 18, 2024 and received my interview invite last night (interview on Feb 7). My references were finalized on Jan 2. My background is in Public Health. I'm currently wrapping up the last term of my undergrad at UW, and I've also applied to UW for MHI alongside MPH back in November 2024. From what I hear, UW will make decisions later than UofT, which had a much earlier deadline and send out offers on a rolling basis.
