tsxxxxx Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 5 hours ago, iakuasa said: Honestly, I do not know what the order is, but I dont think its alphabetical - think they’re considering various factors (ie international/in vs out of province applicants, etc). I was actually invited to interview on Feb 23rd but couldn’t make it because of other commitments (they only emailed me Feb 22nd). Since then, I have been waiting for a new date & time. I have confirmed that they are still interviewing next week, there were several applicants who asked for certain days of the week & stuff - hoping to hear back today about next week. I’d suggest following up if you dont hear anything today! If you don't mind me asking, are you an international or domestic student? I am in province and actually already attending Mac. Also, did you apply to the thesis stream or course based? I had also emailed to follow up on a date and was essentially told the same thing as you so I guess we hope that we get an interview date for next week.

Hey I’m in-province as well, currently working full-time in Toronto (main reason why I was pushing for a Saturday interview lol). I applied to the course-based stream, how about you? Yep, waiting game it is - I also haven’t heard anything yet today. Edited March 15, 2019 by iakuasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also applied to the course based stream, I'm just trying to get a better sense of who they're interviewing first. It's getting slightly nerve wracking to be waiting this long.

E.G.G Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I see some of you messaged me and I'm sorry I've taken a while. I had my interview at 10:00 AM, last week on Wednesday. I received the email 2 hours later telling me that I would be recommended for admission. I was told that I should get the final admission offer within a week (which will be tomorrow), I haven't heard anything yet. When I went for my interview last week, I was told that they were admitting a total of 34 students into the program --the most they've ever allowed. When I left, I asked if they were almost finished interviewing candidates and they said that they were almost done but had a few left. I was also told earlier, during the application season, that students who applied for the thesis base stream would also be considered for the course based stream should they not be granted admission to the thesis program. I'm an in-province applicant, currently working full time in Hamilton and I applied for the thesis program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufz Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Is it 34 in total for both thesis and course based or 34 just for the thesis program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.G.G Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not 100% sure if that was for both programs or for thesis only. They said this is the year they've received the most applicants by a large number and so they were increasing admissions from 32 to 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidvin Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Just curious to know if everyone is interviewed by the same faculty members.. coz some people are getting recommendation letters on the very same day whereas some are getting after 3 weeks..

Ksm Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Received an email stating that they would be recommending my file to the graduate office for review and that the graduate office will have the final say. I would be receiving the final offer within the next 5-7 business days.

I have no clue if it’s the exact same faculty members for everyone, but I will say that in a way I expected to be interviewed by the two interviewers I had - I had asked an eHealth alumni for names of potential interviewers, both of their names were mentioned.
