I didn't receive anything today...which led me to accept Queen's just in case this offer falls through. Emailed Iris as well who didn't get back to me. 

yea she wont get back to us till Monday, am gonna email her then..i think we will hear next week because the last interviews were today instead of last week.

Still it is super frustrating

I also got the letter that said I am prompted to Graduate Studies office and wait for approval, right after my interview (so soon!).

I guess the Graduate Studies office suspends the process till everything is done because there are still applicants like me. 

Hope I am the last one so that the office can start sending out the formal acceptance letter.

i know many of you emailed iris after not hearing anything last week....did u guys get any meaningful information from her afterwards?

Just wondering if i should email her, as i sent her two emails in the last two weeks or if its even worth emailing her now?

Hey! I actually haven't heard back from my e-mail to Iris on Friday.I would like to believe she is seeking an answer from the graduate department prior to getting back to us.

yea thats the most likely scenario.

If any of you hear back from iris, please post here so we all stay informed

Thanks!

I am assuming nobody hears back regarding the offer so far? 

[elizabwur]

No, I haven't heard back- as far as I know none have gone out.

I went to an eHealth alumni appreciation and networking night. It was great! I am definitely choosing mac. 

[Dwabtit]

yea iris told me that she is checking daily with the grad dept and its not clear whats going on

no offers have gone out...also she said that some offers for programs that are similar to the ehalth started going out on monday so hopefully we should be soon behind.

I suggest somebody who hasn't bombarded her with emails (like myself) email her to check out whats going on and post here

While i have not received an official letter yet, On Mosaic, it allows me to accept or decline the offer.

 

However the offer is conditional as show by the legend on the page. I just wanted to know which conditions is the offer dependent on? Did you get the same thing with the blue square?

 Yes, the same thing with the blue square and I also received an official offer by e-mail.

For those of you who received offers from both Mac and U of T, and chose Mac.. have you declined your offer at U of T yet?

I only applied to U of T, and I am still waiting to hear back so I am wondering if more spots will open up.

Also, did anyone receive an offer from U of T this week?

Same here. I guess they send out offer by order ... thus I may be the last one to get my offer ...

[rack_attack124]

[musicfreak]
