I can only speak to Waterloo but professional experience is very important. When I applied, they asked for at least 1 year of professional public health experience. Volunteer would count towards that though

I go to uWaterloo, I'm graduating in a few months! Love the program. The profs were all stellar and very accomplished in their fields. My practicum was great. The only reason they aren't CEPH accredited is because they do not have a Medical program at the school. It's one of the oldest MPH programs in Canada.

It's usually 2 weeks from offer. My letter took 1 or 2 days to upload to the portal as well. I also got an email when it was up;

Why do you want to get into U of T so badly? Queens has a very reputable MPH program and at the end of the day, all that matters is the degree.
-
I think they are saying they turned down their offer.

I know we already chatted but wanted to put my thoughts on the board incase anyone else had questions. Where are you wanting to work at the end of the program? That will play a large role in where you should attend. If you're wanting to stay in Sask/MB, USASK is probably the better option.

When I was looking for my MPH this was prominent in the news - http://thestarphoenix.com/news/local-news/ailing-institution-the-school-of-public-health-tries-to-recover-from-an-era-tainted-by-allegations-infighting-intimidation-and-the-scars-of-questionable-teaching Hoping they've fixed all that now.

I'm not exactly sure but I believe it's in May or June. The initial 2 week foundations course is in August.

I'm in the MPH and you'd have a lot of the same profs. So far, everyone has been very engaging and have a lot of connections within public health in Canada which has been great. Courses have been interesting and generally well planned with lots of supports. The building itself is undergoing renos but they have a brand new wing with a starbucks and nice new lecture areas.

They've been on strike for weeks now but they just agreed to a deal today so admin workers should be in office soon. -

The on-campus portion last year was August 14-26th. It was included in my acceptance letter last year as well.

In what sense? We definitely had some ER nurses, dietitians, A respiratory therapist which aren't *Directly* in public health.
-
It is geared towards professionals. I've been working in Public health for almost 4 years now. We do have a 2 or 3 students in our class who had come straight from undergrad but had done co-ops in Public health. I have a long list of work experience/extracurriculars. I work in healthcare but under the public health side. Have extensive volunteer experience with multiple organizations, chair of committee, presentations at conferences etc.

Are you talking for the MScPH program? Because the MPH program at Waterloo does not have supervisors. I received my acceptance last year on March 9th and was one of the first here on Gradcafe.
