I messaged you!

If I were to do it again, I would have spent the time I did studying for the GRE (and the money) on taking a distance ed stats course and getting an amazing grade in it. If you are certain you are only going to apply for Canadian schools, I wouldnt bother. I got great GRE scores (168V 166Q) and did not get into most of the schools I applied to. The feedback I was given was lack of undergrad stats. I got a 98% in graduate biostats last term (too late to submit the grades with my application). If I could do it again, I would have focussed on that.

Same email! I accepted another offer. Oh well!
-
Hey folks, Heard today that I am wait-listed at U of T for Health Promotion. Those accepted don't have to accept or decline until mid-May. Good luck to those still waiting, and congrats to those accepted!
-
I have a freind who has been accepted there for Fall 2012 - i think she found out a couple of weeks ago.
-
absolutely I would go, but would go in the states/UK if money was not an issue.
-
Congrats epi2012!!!! Montrealer I was told when I emailed the admissions folks several months ago that All candidates were considered in one pool (irrespective of choice of stream). I'm hoping that that is true ( or I would have applied to a different stream!), but it does seem like only Global Health applicants have heard back, so who knows. Good luck though!

Got an email
-
Well I got rejected from SFU - Global Health. Im quite bummed out about it, and to be honest, a little but suprised. I had emailed a long way back to make sure I shouldn't have also applied to the population health stream (I have no international experience, I just want to start doing Global Health), and was told applications are not differentiated based on preferred stream. I REALLY hope that was the case, and I didn't shoot myself in the foot by applying to the wrong section. Oh well! One acceptance, one rejection, two more to go!

I'm not sure anyone else here applied to the program, but I got into the Univeristy of Manitoba MPH this morning!
-
social and behavioral. Mid-April????!!! That is so far away! And so long after every other school requires you to accept/reject.
-
I had to send a paper copy of a reference to Dalla Lana, as the prof didnt use an academic email. I got an email letting me know it was received. otherwise nothing! SGS still says 'under reveiw'. I suspec we will be waiting awhile.
-
Wow congrats Dr. P! Whats your background? Is UBC a top pick? Hopefully this mens more of us will start to get some results in the near future...
-
Seriously, right? The wait is just getting longer and longer. Can't even one school start making decisions early?!

Does Anyone Else Have to Wait Until March/April To Hear Back?

Me! It seems like Canadian schools let people know much later then American. It seems particularily cruel, in light of Feburary already being an intolerable month up where I live. -
I find it helpful to remind myself that them geting in has no bearing whatsoever on me getting in. Totally independent, separate events. Also, if your friends got rejected, would it make you feel better? Probably not (I would hope). So really it's the best-case scenario. Might as well be excited for them.

SFU, UBC, U of Manitoba and U of T. I've got a family, so the cities I applied to are pretty limited due to work & support considerations. Plus I really have no interest in living in Alberta or Saskatchewan, even if my partner could find work in his field there. SFU and UBC are my top picks - I'm interested in the work being done at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV, and both schools are affiliated. The UBC deadline is driving me mad though - I've submitted my GRE scores twice now and it still says 'not received'. I'm glad all of my schools' deadlines are passed or today. I want to start getting results!
-
hey piccku, i really don't know what anyones chances are of getting in (new to this too!), but it sounds like you are a really well rounded applicant. Why did you pick the schools that you did? If you really want to work in public health, I wouldnt apply to psych etc.
-
I did! Health Promotion stream..

A bottle of Glenlivet! It seems like whiskey is the reward of choice...

If you weren't doing what you are doing, what would you be doing?
kdok replied to LLajax's topic in Waiting it Out
My dream was always to be a volcanologist. I ended up stuck in the middle of the prairies for 11 years though, not the ideal place to study them! Ended up doing my undergrad in a field I really don't care about in order to make a living to support a family member. I feel entirely too old to start down the volcanology track now - by the time I would be able to do what I want I would be late 40's, a bit too old to start tromping around active lava fields. but if all had been different, thats what I would be doing. -
MPH applicant at U of M, UBC, SFU and U of T (health promotion). Finally got my last LOR submitted so the wait begins!

Hi! Im applying at: 1. University of Manitoba (I have ben taking classes there this year as an 'occasional student') 2. U of T - population health 3. SFU - Global Health 4. UBC My background is in infectious disease clinical/community health nursing and a few different research nursing jobs in HIV feild research with high-risk populations (i have been nursing for 6 years). My GPA is quite good (3.9 undergrad, 4.25 grad), but I did not get into U of M last year so I am not holding my breath. I think most of my applications are complete, just waiting on transcripts and letters of reference. I'm pretty excited, but the wait will seem long.
