Once I hear back from the grad dept hopefully confirming enrolment, I am 100% accepting and going forward with that process so I'm looking forward to meeting everyone who ends up joining me I'm thinking the Easter Monday was probably the day after they finished the majority of the interviews and sent out their alternate offers. Someone mentioned that Iris had met with the grad department today, on the Tuesday. I'm sure she brought forward the names of people who asked to be considered first, so I would be optimistic about hearing back tomorrow or at the very least on Thursday. Congrats! and hopefully I am not left behind since I am the guy who was not in the "majority of the interviews" Q.Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am patiently waiting for the offer from McMaster. I feel like taking the offer from UofT since they have finalized my offer very quickly. I will give Mac until Friday otherwise UofT it is.

Dwabtit Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Idk wat they are doing. You can do that but you'll lose the deposit that you often have to out down. Anyone else receive any communication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealogic Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thank you everyone! I'm sorry for everyone who is in such a conflicting situation between different universities, that's really tough Hopefully everything gets sorted out for you guys. 15 hours ago, jChuang said: Congrats! and hopefully I am not left behind since I am the guy who was not in the "majority of the interviews" Q.Q jChuang I wouldn't worry they are still offering you an interview. Even if they have been sending out acceptances previously, people are declining offers at Mac or thinking of declining...all you can do right now is practice and nail that interview so that afterwards they have no choice but to offer you a spot jChuang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdefin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm currently in my 4th year at Queen's, and got accepted today for the Health Informatics program at U of T this fall! bluejays and porcupine1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine1 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Also heard good news from UFT I was wondering if anyone knew what the class size was for ufts program? bluejays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Hey it says on the website that "Students accepted into the course-based option are offered a $3000 graduate scholarship each year." Does anybody know if there is a procedure in place to apply for it? Is it need based or on merit? I think I misspoke earlier. I still haven't recieved an official acceptance letter from Mac, just an email saying they will be recommending me.

bluejays Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't think Iris has any control over any of this. Its the graduate department - I don't know what they are doing. Maybe it should be escalated to the program director who of course has the power to make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I will e-mail Thomas. Maybe a couple other people can e-mail him as well so he realizes its a problem. Iris has zero control over the situation but if she did, I'm sure she would make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicfreak Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
