  1. Hi there, Just trying to find others who will be starting SFU's MPH program in the Fall Cheers
  2. Is anyone looking for roommates? I will be starting Simon Fraser in September in their Master of Public Health program. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send you my information.
  3. Are you from Toronto? I am also waiting to hear from U of T but my plans are to move out West especially having done my undergrad at U of T- I need change! USask is far but I really think it would be more beneficial than an online program especially if you are not yet in the field. I am no expert but I think online programs benefit people who are already working and would like to pursue advanced degrees-- the online program probably provides them with a little bit more flexibility especially in terms of where they are situated. Let me know if you decided on USask!
  4. I am in the exact same position as you (except for one "tiny" difference)-- I've been accepted at USask and SFU and am leaning towards USask but just waiting on the official acceptance from SFU to see what they will offer. I was actually in Saskatoon in February and spoke with the director and assistant director. They seem to really be pushing for accreditation for the program and so it is constantly undergoing changes--which can be positive (keeps getting "better") or negative (not very consistent). May I ask what you finished your undergrad in?
  5. Hi everyone, So I've been accepted at SFU and UofSask, though as many of you I am still waiting for any official correspondence from SFU. I was just wondering if anyone knew more (than the website provides) about the UofSask program? I've visited the campus and other than the cold weather it is actually one of the nicest campuses I have seen (small but all the buildings are made of the same stone and dont remind me of prisons). I also know that a new health sciences building is being built where the School of Public Health will be moved (it is currently in the hospital). Help!
  6. And I thought I was the only one with these problems... This past year was the first my boyfriend and I have carried on a (VERY)-long distance relationship (he got into Law school in the west while I live in the east--of Canada). Now it was my turn to apply to grad schools and although I applied mostly out west, one school is 6 hours away from him, one is a short but $$ flight away, and the third is actually the school he is at. We have been together for 4+ years and we both agree that our relationship will remain long term. The issue is that I have no idea how to balance my decision-- I really do want to live with him, but what if the programs at the other schools are superior? The problem here is that for the MPH programs I have applied to there is very little information out there in terms of ranking. I cant help but think that if I dont choose his school I will regret my decision, or if I do choose his school I will regret my decision. AH! Just venting....
  7. Not sure I have a first choice. Right now I'm leaning towards SFU though if U of S decides to give me any money that could sway my decision. I'm also currently graduating from a Global Health undergrad program and U of A is the only school to which I applied for the Global Health stream...so that might be another thing I look at. Like you, I haven't been able to find a good source of information out there comparing the programs so my decisions are really up in the air. I haven't heard anything about funding but then again for both programs I was accepted by email and have yet to receive any formal packages. Will you be going to U of A?
  8. For U of A were you interviewed prior to being accepted? I applied to the Global Health stream and was emailed today about choosing an interview time. I was just wondering what the interview consists of? Though I am sure it is somewhat different between streams.
  9. Hi! I was also accepted into the MPH program...still waiting on a few others and then time to make a decision. -Dominika
