Hey! Sounds like your interests align quite well with the MPH program - the one at UBC is a bit more epi focused - however, you can choose certain electives (ie. more focused on health promotion) and a faculty advisor is also set up with you to help decide electives/practicum placement (based on your specific interests within the realm of Public Health). I'm quite biased though since I only applied for MPH programs and don't know too much about SBHS at U of T. I'm moving to BC this fall for the MPH program and seems like there's always something to do in the city! (a lot more happening than Calgary that's for sure haha). Without too much insight, they both sound like great programs! Best of luck with whichever you choose!

I found this link for the best universities for PH (based on reputation and research): http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/social-sciences-public-health Since some of you have a range of choices : Canada specifically - top three were: 1) UofT 2) UBC and 3) McGill - not sure how much this is based on actual program details vs. reputation.

hey! sure, I'm currently completing my BHSc majoring in Health & Society and my GPA is a 3.4 for past 2 years - so probably on the lower end of the competitive side. I've been working as an RA since summer of 2nd year and currently completing my honors thesis, through this research I have some conference/presentation experience. I also do some volunteering with local organizations (mostly passionate about working with vulnerable populations, ie. forensic youth & adults with a disability) & have some leadership experience with being on exec team of a university started healthcare improvement network, (I'm very interested in Canada's HC system & quality improvement). Feel free to msg me if you'd like to know more (oh, and I'm a Canadian student) I submitted my Sask application just a couple days ago I don't think they've entered in my CV and LOI as submitted yet so it still just says processed. Is Sask the only school you applied to? & whys that? my main issue was looking into this a little too late this missing early deadlines, such as the December one set out by UofA. do you (or anyone else) have any thoughts on UBC vs USask for MPH?

Hey everyone! I just got admission into UBCs MPH program today and submitted my application for USask yesterday (only two I applied for) - not to get too ahead of myself, but was wondering if anyone has advice/opinions on which MPH program they would go for (UBC vs USask)? I know UBCs program is relatively new (first graduation cohort 2010) so its a little hard to find detailed information on post-degree outcomes. Whereas, I have met with and spoken to multiple alumni from Sask who speak very highly of the program and their experiences.. would love to get the same amount of information on UBC Thanks!
