Hi all! I was hoping if individuals could help provide insight on a dilemma I'm grappling with. I got accepted to both the UBC MPH and U of T MPH (Health Promotion) programs. I am very interested in health equity, and community development - and emphasized that in both of my LOI's. I also have a strong qualitative background. In the course of my MPH, I am hoping to get a stronger foundation in quantitative methodologies, but also continue to develop my interests as I indicated. The primary factor I'm weighing is how positively each program will influence and support career aspirations - so if that's a function of location, networking opportunities, practicum quality, general reputation, etc - I'd love to hear from other applicants and current/past students on this!

Got accepted to UBC's MPH! I also applied to U of T for their MPH Health Promotion stream. I'm trying to explore both options and distinguish them - I'm very interested in social justice and community research. I'm curious as to how good UBC's MPH program is at integrating the qualitative+SJ aspect. If anyone has insight to offer, I'd love to hear it!
