Cloudbank Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 13 minutes ago, JulesHir said: I don't think they interviewed 100 people for 40 spots. Where are we getting 15 people per day from? The 15 is based off of Zoe mentioning the number of applicants scheduled for the day when I asked. You're probably right about not interviewing *that* many people. I imagine they probably had less on some days and perhaps none on others (I can't see the interviewers being able to dedicate 2 consecutive workweeks to just interviews...).

fleejy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I finished my interview this morning. As mentioned by previous posts, the written assessment was related to a topic in health informatics. The 20 minute was enough to write 1-page. For the interview with Julia, it was fast-paced and she asked questions to find out if you are applying with a clear goal in mind. For the presentation, they were very lenient and asked questions to gauge your understanding of the subject matter. I wish everyone the best of luck with the application!

I guess they had multiple interviewers?! I was interviewed by a male faculty member and presented to a male faculty member also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had 15 minutes with Julia and the 5 min presentation with two faculty members and approximately 15 min Q&A following the presentation.

Nothing yet o_o I was told end of April was when I should be expecting anything at all. I did get an acceptance from Waterloo MHI, and was waitlisted by Western MPH both in mid-March.

They did just finish interviews late last week, so between that and what Zoe told me about the end of the month, I don't think it's worth too much of your time to worry too much about it for at least the next week or two. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanBD Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So I was reading through the 2017 MHI thread and someone posted the following: "Posted March 8, 2017 Good to hear about the interview. I was at the webinar in November for uoft and Julia said that there is like 175 applicants, they interview 75 and like 35 get in...That's why the wait makes me nervous..Hopefully everything goes well! " I attended the webinar for this year but missed some parts. Does anyone remember if they commented on the acceptance/interview rates at all? I don't see those ^ particular numbers mentioned anywhere else so I just wanted to see if anyone could verify if that is the actual case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see those ^ particular numbers mentioned anywhere else so I just wanted to see if anyone could verify if that is the actual case It appears based on a previous post (quoted below) that '35 get in' actually means that's about how many people actually accept their offers and register? At least I hope so, because that would mean they invite more people than that and I imagine many applicants are applying to multiple programs/schools. On 3/10/2018 at 10:28 PM, symbol96 said: I wonder if this program is really that hard to get into... 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! I've actually accepted my offer to Waterloo already (and for a variety of reasons am currently leaning ever-so-slightly toward their all-online format... though the networking at UofT would be excellent) but I really wish I could get some closure from UofT after going through the somewhat daunting interview process. Waterloo wouldn't extend my decision deadline :\ The sooner I get more details from UofT the sooner I can sort out living/work/general life stuff that will influence my decision quite a bit. Super nervous. Edited April 18, 2018 by Cloudbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super nervous. I'm also in a similar position with McMaster. I need to let them know next Monday. I totally understand what you mean about living arrangements etc. I'm going to email them tomorrow I think. Can you remove your offer from loo?
