Sure, will apply to a number of programs this time around, and I am not sticking to Jan. 14 only either, will be looking at next fall as well! Thanks, Cima, I appreciate ...

Thanks! I am throwing everything out there.. Wow, I "feel" you on that waiting game...Hang in there, and all the best!

It's a new day: I have decided to start applying for SFU's MSc Public Health for the Jan. 2014 intake. Its more research oriented than the MPH, not bad for one anticipating a PhD in the near future. I am not sure how competitive I will be, as I have never published anything...But will give it a try!

Billie1991yss. Great to know you are starting your MPH this year, Congrats! On the issue of scholarship favs. between DrPH and PhD, I would suggest you call Mailman for details...I have often heard that PhD studies are generally better funded that "practice-based" degrees, but thats just from the grapevine! It could also depend on the particular school..I would check with them! Best wishes to you.

Thanks! Yeah, still a huge disappointment...

Cima, Thats so encouraging...its hard for me to make sense of it- but then, may be u right. Will try to call my school.

The waiting has ended for me today- in disappointment. I got a response to my email- apparently, one of my official transcripts never arrived, and I did not know that...don't know whether its because I am still attending my undergrad school??? I was asked to say when I expected it to be sent it, in order to complete the application, but I really think its too little too late now that acceptances have mostly already been sent out for Fall 2013. I have decided to withdraw and re-apply next year. I am saddened but it still feels a little better than an outright rejection ...Congrats to all who made it this time ( and those who will), and best wishes to those of us who will have to re-live this experience next year!!! Cheers!

Anyone still waiting to hear from SFU? I called them Tuesday, and was told i should be able to get word in the following 48 hours! Its well over that now...will be sending an email by day's end if nothing happens... ' HAPPY' WAITING!

No problem sn6666; I am getting lots of support myself on this site...and venting space, too! Looks like I am not the only one still waiting- I applied only to SFU, called them today, and I was given an email to write to if I don't hear anything in 48 hours. Honestly speaking, I do not have much hope now, because many have already known their fate...why would they wait till the end to inform a successful applicant? Just a gut feeling... My dream lives on, anyhow ... Hang in there!

Wow, those are great stats! Wonder what they were looking for??? Did you apply to other programs as well? Best wishes moving forward...

Thanks, kindly! ...

Sorry about SFU, but best wishes on that wait-list @ U of T! Did SFU send an email or change your online status? I doubt there's still any good news to be expected from there...so I am already looking @ other options, sadly...SFU was my favourite program!!

I agree...they totally do not care about the feelings of their applicants ...

So happy for you Kmila...and thanks a lot! I am sure something will work out for me too, what ever the case! Best wishes with Edinburg, you will ever be proud of that degree, no doubt!

Oh ...I am sorry about that... So what does your application status say now? Mine is still the same as it was when I submitted the application- " No Offer has been made..." and no email, either. I had hoped for some response by today, I still feel nervous, despite the fact that all indications are that I am not going through this one too... I am glad you have Edinburg on your side- have you made up your mind yet to attend in the UK? I guess its time to dust off the SFU "ordeal" and move on, painful as it is.. Best wishes in future endeavours!
