jChuang Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I applied for McMaster eHealth (F16) and got an email at 26, but they didn't tell me when is the interview ... (the email said: "We will be contacting you shortly to arrange for an interview time.") I am studying "behaviour-based interview" and keeping fingers crossed, too. Does anyone know about the acceptance rate of this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just to assess personal skills to make sure you'll be fit for an internship. The program size is around 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'm withdrawing my application from Mac, so the applicant pool will be a little smaller (not going to do the interview since I've already decided to go elsewhere).

Just out of curiosity..where have you decided to go?. Also has anybody applied to Mac thesis based instead of course based? Also I heard Mac has a good reputation. Does anybody know what it's rep in the academic and prof community?or what are your opinions of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has anybody applied to Mac thesis based instead of course based? Also I heard Mac has a good reputation. Does anybody know what it's rep in the academic and prof community?or what are your opinions of it I'm going to University of Toronto's Master of Information program. It's not equivalent to Mac's eHealth (which would be UofT Health Informatics - but like I said earlier, I didn't think I could argue my arts degree was relevant). I've heard McMaster is very good for health and medical programs. If I was set on going into health in any sort of way, I would pick McMaster. But I'm not totally set on going into the health field and I recognize I don't have much experience or knowledge about it. My undergrad is in arts, was pretty much like pre-law, and I chose not to go to law school in the end because I realized it felt more of what was expected of me rather than my own decision.

That's great! They are contacting people and making progress. But the written activity is not what I expect. I am not in Canada and how should I complete that exam? How do they interview people who are not around? So many questions but no answer >.<" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
