McMaster Global health MSc 2020

[saralovescience 7]

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone here applied for McMaster's MSc in Global Health for Sep 2020? I was wondering if anyone heard any update with regards to when admissions are going to be out with the current situation!

 

Thanks

I applied too and on their website, it says admission offers will go out mid-May so I'm still expecting them to come out then since they haven't given any updates.

I haven't heard anything either... do your applicants say "incomplete" on the McMaster mosaic site?

 

[anonymouspanda 26]

My status is a green dot = pending. The documents show up as "required". 

[saralovescience 7]

Same ^^ Everything shows Required except for References= Completed. I also messaged the department to enquire if decisions would be out on time and they said yes they are not expecting delays due to COVID.

Goodluck to all!

I haven't yet! A friend who got in last year said she heard back mid-late April... so any day now I guess?!

Ahh okay! So anxious!

Hey guys! Any updates so far? 

[anonymouspanda 26]

Haven't received anything yet. My documents are still showing up as "required"

I read somewhere that International applicants will hear back in mid April, while Canadian applicants will hear back in mid May!

It's pretty unpredictable given I got my acceptance as a Canadian on April 22nd last year. However, this year, the adcoms are extremely busy because the India symposium (requirement for the degree) had to be moved online and it's a very very hectic time for the faculty. 

Best of luck,

Hey! What do you think made your application stand out to adcoms? Also how big is your class size this year, and what do you plan to do with your MSc degree after graduating?

Please PM me, I'd be happy to share more info!  @naija.med

Hey, I just got an email saying that I was put on wait list. I'm an international student. Do students usually get accepted off the waitlist?

Have any Canadian applicants heard back yet? This is getting more nerve wracking by the day 

[gh2020 4]

Nope! not that i am aware of. And i know right?! I hope this does not lead into May as well..

I think Canadian students may receive results later than international students due to visa applications. I read somewhere that the result will be in May.

Has anyone spoken to the administrators recently about when to expect application decisions? 

[sr9 13]

I've applied as well! I'm a Canadian and I emailed them a while back asking if decisions would be delayed due to COVID-19 but they said I should still know by mid-May. So far I've heard of two Canadians who have heard back (I don't know them personally). I believe one was accepted and one was rejected (not sure if the one rejected was actually rejected or put on the waitlist). To my knowledge both of them also applied to Med so my best guess is that they're trying to give decisions to people who applied to multiple programs first to give them time to decide which program they want.

Oh wow, that is interesting. I didn't know that some Canadian applicants have heard back already. 

[saralovescience 7]

I am guessing it should be sometime next week if we are expected to hear by Mid May! Good luck to all :)
