bananacad Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I emailed Zoe, and she said that she'll let all applicants know of their decision next week. Really hoping for some good news...
anoopkd Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Has anyone gotten an interview from U of T and then been rejected? Wondering if interviews were a formality or not as they got backed up the day of mine and were probably trying to catch up on time so it felt rushed. Also, they asked me about 3 questions in total- so I thought that was a bit odd. Edited March 26, 2017 by anoopkd

I met with 3 profs individually and each asked me 3 questions and I did the presentation thing. To me the interviews seemed mandated by the graduate department since they took notes on my answers. I think the interview counts as much as the application and it's used as sort of a sanity check prior to accepting someone into the program, in my opinion.

Mine was via telephone as i'm from out of town- it was with Julia and one other person. They asked me about myself, i did my presentation and then they asked me 3 questions together. Nervous because it seemed a bit rushed so I couldnt gauge their thoughts ! Hence I was hoping interviews were moreso a formality

And I did my presentation with Julia. But it did seem like it was a little rushed, since I had maximum 15 mins with each of them.

That is so odd, mine was with only Julia and another member - it was with the both of them. Did you apply for the full stream?

Curlygirl123 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hey everyone, I just got my acceptance email I hope everyone heard some good news today too! bananacad and jql 2
jql Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Congrats @Curlygirl123 Yeah same thing as catman: met with 2 faculty members and the program director. Answered 3 questions with Julia and a faculty member, then did 5 min presentation to the other faculty member, who asked questions. I will be accepting the offer. Looking forward to meeting the 2017 cohort Edited March 27, 2017 by jql tagging someone
Runningblu3 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Hey, when did all you guys received your interview offer and when the interview was conducted?
anoopkd Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I wonder if they send emails for people who weren't accepted..or if it's no email at all. Getting worried!
jql Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I would recommend emailing Zoe to solicit a response on your application status. Executive MHI offers may just take more time! @Runningblu3 I received an interview on Feb 22

Curlygirl123 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) @jql thank you! Hope to see you guys in the Fall Will anyone be living on campus/off-campus? Edited March 30, 2017 by Curlygirl123
catman14 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm going to be commuting. residence is an extra $12k/year or so and that's just basic expenses
anoopkd Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I got wait listed for the executive stream of this program, they don't disclose the ranking so I guess I will be waiting this out.

Sidsak Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Just now, catman14 said: Any reason you guys chose McM over UofT? I had only applied for MSc eHealth Program. I am related to health field and Mcmaster is well known for heath things. 8 months internship is a plus point for this program. Commute is also one thing for me as I am located in Mississuaga
catman14 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I see. I applied to both but I found the UofT program has more to offer (except the commute) so I was wondering why McM. Thanks!
