Also I would be inclined to follow-up if you can't get into ACORN at this point, I've been able to access the system after applying since mid February (though of course nothing showed up until being accepted).

FadeMans Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Tried calling and following up with Zoe, she told me that they will be "letting all applicants know by the end of the week". I assume that this is a soft rejection until the official hard rejection is received via email. Cheers to all those who got accepted, I wish you luck on your future endeavour!!

I think the student handbook says that we will have some choice in later years. I can't seem to find the approved electives list anywhere besides the Big Data course.

If you look at the Year 2 Timetable (http://ihpme.utoronto.ca/academics/pp/mhi/handbook/timetables/) the Big Data course and some others are listed there, but I'm not sure which ones are madatory and which are electives tbh. And @dardalys098 I'm still waiting for my letter, although I did already email Zoe to confirm that I was accepting the offer. I did my undergrad at U of T so I already have an ACORN account.

Mac seems to have a lot of choice in terms of electives but the UofT program seems more focused with courses that are very health informatics targeted or at least seem specialized for this program.

Cloudbank, how did you make yours? I got an e-mail from admissions.sgs@utoronto.ca regarding something about a JOINid. Activate that and then you just use the same ID to access ACORN. I think my previous post suggested that the process for getting on ACORN was done automatically, which it wasn't. I just remember following the instructions to activate it because I got the email right as my application went through and my brain was just like 'uhhhhhhh sure, I guess activating something would be important', so sorry for any confusion!

Hey @zeeW Yupp, all those courses were just automatically added to my enrolled courses. And yeah, I agree with your assessment. The course-work at U of T seems to be a tad more rigourous/focused than at Mac, bit it also lacks the thesis/research paper component that Mac offers. Also, are you saying you declined Mac by accident? Omg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could make a Facebook group for the Fall 2018 cohort, but it would be useful to have a group with all MHI graduates (probably something the student rep would do).
