Interviewed on Feb 8 and received acceptance March 9

To offer holders, please decline if you have dominating offers. I am on the waitlsit and depend on this offer. Thank you!

We had an interview mid-march, he asked me some technical questions and then he talked about his recent works and problems and about my background and preferences. I was a perfect fit to the program, imo. I declined two other offers I had, hopefully someone who was in waiting list gets those. ^_^

Email to check web portal - Rejection

Canadian undergrad with math major and stats minor at a Canadian uni with a 90.8% (converted to 3.92/4) average in upper level courses relating to degree. 18.7K funding for first year, 6.3K for second year, 10K entrance scholarship, accept by Apr 12.

International GPA 3.9 Masters

It's Global Politics. Got the email to check the portal after various "under review" emails around 16:00.

Sent an email to the admissions office to ask about the results of my admission, and soon received an email to check the portal. Only rejection, no reason given. Very unpleasant application experience.

GPA is from an MA. Have been rejected by the department for three years in a row, guess it's time to say goodbye to McMaster...

Primary Health Care combined

Offers of admission came out on the exact same day last year, so I appreciate their consistency since it is so difficult waiting for these decisions as an applicant. For any future applicants reading this: I applied at the very beginning of November 2022, received an email inviting me to an interview January 25th, completed my interview on February 17th, and received an offer of admission on March 9th. For what it's worth: I was rejected from a few schools prior to this offer, and I started to doubt myself. This is such a tough and mysterious process -- I'm happy to answer questions if you DM me. Best of luck to all and congrats to those who have been accepted!

Interview was 2 weeks ago.

Truly surprised given that McMaster is simply a third-tier university in Canada.
