minniexo_ Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 20 hours ago, GingerDwight said: For anyone who applied to McMaster or Waterloo @Excel725 I sent an email to both of these programs asking for an update on when we can expect to hear back just because I've gotten some other offers from different programs and I wanted to know if I should ask for decision deadline extensions (I know all the supervisors personally so I don't want to accept and then let them down later) and they have both responded back to me this morning. Mac: Late this week - early next week decisions are going out. Waterloo: They have more than 500 applicants who met the minimum requirements (more than they usually have) so they said that this year will be delayed but they still expect decisions to be out by the end of March, latest. I hope this helps!!! This is strange since I emailed Waterloo and also spoke to them on the phone. They are hoping to do offers in April only.

Thats so weird... I feel like "by April" likely means before April thought. Like if I say that I'll have something done "by Wednesday" I mean before Wednesday. But I guess I'm not sure if "by April" means before April, or before the end of April... Also the women who wrote my email is Michelle Fluit (Professional graduate programs coordinator MPH, MHI, MHE) I feel like she outranks Joel, her name is first on the list and his is the last - I'm just interpreting, she's a coordinator and he's an assistant?

I'm a University of Waterloo student. I'm thinking and hoping for the same about maybe it means end of March but then I also got this answer from the department.

That's so weird - why would they tell me March? I've been trying to call them for a couple weeks but I get sent to voicemail saying no one is in the office because of COVID? Are there two completely different universities of Waterloo?? LOL Also every time I've emailed them it has been Michelle who has answered...
