Hi there, I don't think Waterloo has interviews for their MHI program; the admissions decision is only based on your essay/grades/CV/reference letters!

[Fenghua]

Thank you, Ovoxo

I heard some people got a reject letter today. Hope we still have chance.

Good luck

Really did they get an email or was the update on Quest? Also do you know how many people?

Received an email today from UofT - they will be offering me admission (regular stream). I interviewed March 5th.

Hoping everyone gets some good news very soon!!

To those who got an offer:  Congrats! and... are you going to accept the offer or are you considering other options?  Anyone doing the executive stream?

Hi guys, yeah I got an offer at 4:24pm today from Zoe stating that they "intend" on giving me an offer and will follow up with offer early next week. I hope that means I got it! Hope to see those who got the offer and good luck to everyone else!

Hey @jeds I do also have another preliminary offer from McMaster. Want to compare both final offers before deciding. I’ll try to remember to post if I accept UofT. Best of luck to you!!

Thanks so much @RN_HI! 

I’ve done volunteering in a hospital as well as a summer placement in clinical research. I currently work at an HI start up (not in a tech role). My bachelor’s was in cell/molecular biology & economics ( random combo I know, I get it all the time lol).

How about you? I’m assuming you’re an RN based off your username

[V08]

Anyone else heard back today?

Hi @F11 Are you a clinician as well?

Hey @RN_HI , 

No, I am not a clinician. I actually am just completing my BSc in Health Studies from the University of Waterloo. I've had quite a few different co-op experiences, one of which had me working on their EMR and developing an app for the personalized health record system at a private health clinic.

Hey @iakuasa, I'm in the same situation with the eHealth offer from McMaster! Gotta do some deeper digging and weight out all the factors before coming to a decision!
