Saw some people have heard back from UofT - do you mind sharing your credentials? I have applied to both Mac and UofT but I am really interested in UofT. My cGPA is 3.25 and last two years 3.50-3.53. Don't have any experience in HI except for using HI softwares for work. Some research experience. What do you think are my chances? Someone should make a spreadsheet keeping track of programs applied, credentials and dates of correspondence. Hey man! My interview with UFT was 2 weeks ago. It went pretty well and they said I will hear back by the end of the month. My credentials are on the first post of this forum.

The actual talking part of the interview was only 15 minutes for me so it's not too many questions, only like a time you had to resolve a problem and why you want to go there etc. I declined McGill and I think I will be accepting Queens but I'm still waiting back to hear from other programs before declining Mac. hey just want to know how you prepared for the interview and if there is anything you think we should do ?

I didn't really prepare for the interview to be honest, since I went into it thinking I wasn't going to accept it (although now I'm considering it because I'm very interested in the program). I just thought of situational times that have happened in the past that I could use as examples of teamwork, leadership, etc. The actual interview took me 15 minutes so honestly just relax and don't stress..it seems like as long as you have decent people skills once you get an interview you'll get accepted. Best of luck to everyone

Best of luck to everyone What makes you feel interested in the program again? I am not familiar with Hamilton and did some survey. I found that the health industry there is growing and there are many on-going investments such as IBM and Hamilton Health Sciences hospital. Mac provides training and the local industries benefit from Mac. A win-win situation. That's why I think eHealth program is attractive ...

All the best!

Could you share your experience as in were the questions typical of any behavioral interview. Was it conducted by the department faculty or some external professional panel?
bluejays Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 It was a very comfortable and relaxed environment and the questions were typical behavioural interview questions. There wasn't any questions that will throw you off. It was conducted by the program founder and I believe a professor. Both of them were really nice and made me feel extremely comfortable. Good luck Riya!

tealogic Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I just finished my afternoon interview today as well and was told I would hear back by the end of next week. I wonder if it may take longer to hear back for those who applied for the thesis stream instead of the course stream. I applied to thesis but told them I am also open to taking the course stream.

Thats what I am thinking as well. I never had an opportunity to tell them that I am open course based...did they ask u that? Or did u just say it. Noam Archer did mine..I don't think we will hear anything till Monday just because it's almost 5 and I don't think iris would have time to send anything out now. I am nervous as shit cuzze I screwed up on one question
Dwabtit Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Just got the email from iris for full time thesis that they are recommending me to grad Dept. I spoke to her and she said that grad Dept is just a formality and 99.99 % you will be fine. Since the program started they only had 2 ppl not be accepted by grad Dept.

Recommended to grad department....does that mean you got accepted and they are recommending you since you are now in the program?! Or is that just a formality before you receive an official acceptance? Congrats anyway...I guess I'll just sit here for the next half hour and refresh my email

According to both of them its a formality and 99.99 you are in. she said since the program started over 6 years there have been only 2 cases that had issues with. All the people that have heard acceptance have been referred to grad departmant. or am i wrong? did music freak and bluejays get a official offer from mac? i was told that gradschool office has the final say but that its mostly just a formality and they make sure the transcripts are legit...did anybody else hear something else?
bluejays Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Dwabtit - I did not receive a formal offer rather the e-mail from Iris indicating that they are recommending me to the graduate department. In this situation, you are unofficially accepted. The graduate department just makes the offer a formal one and they verify grades and stuff if they have a doubt. Congrats!!
elizabwur Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I applied to UofT for MHI & Mac for eHealth. I had my eHealth interview today and got accepted shortly after. My UofT interview was about two weeks ago, and went really well considering the surprise MMI lol. I am waiting to hear back from UofT to decide. Good luck to all of you! Edited March 18, 2016 by elizabwur
jChuang Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I think it's just the matter of time since there's no rejection letter. Congrats!

Or they really select/filter off people after the interview. But, looking at this trend it seems like most people do get accepted lol
