  1. wow yes haha I am from UTSC. I graduated with a 3.04 GPA and i guess that is why I am not going into any programs.. feeling like it is a gamble, if i take more courses, would I even be able to pump it up and compete with others that graduated with a high gpa? I do not have many work experience in the related field, I have one summer internship as a program coordinator with a community organization for health promotion. and volunteered with the campus clinic for sexual health. And that's it ... 1-year master in CUHK seems very tempting however, who knows if it is widely accepted in north america
  2. Thanks for your reply I talked to all the schools, mostly it was my gpa that is not as competitive as others, I applied to many schools however a couple of them i am still lacking 1-2 pre-req ( i came across this program late but i was thinking, even i am lacking of some courses i still want to give it a shot). I applied to York, trent, UofT and Humber. Before my undergrad graduation, I applied to MPH programs knowing that my BA is not sufficient in the healthcare field, however the competition is just too high and couldn't get in, one day i was frustrated and applied to the MPH program offered by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and got an offer, however worried that it is not transferrable in North America.
  3. Hi everyone, I am lacking of luck in job search/ education these days and find myself in such tough situation. I would really appreciate it if any of you can give me some opinion as a 3rd person point of view. I graduated from the University of Toronto with a B.A majoring Health Studies and Human Geography in 2014 June. During this 12 months, I spent 3 months for vacation, and 6 months doing courses in order to apply to a Second Entry Nursing Program, meanwhile and the rest of the 12 months, I took on some part-time and temp jobs here and there, as well as applying to jobs in my field. Unfortunately, I have no luck with the nursing program, nor job searching. I did not get a SINGLE interview that is related in my field. Most of my classmate they faced the same job search issue and switched to other fields, even though I still would like to pursue healthcare as a career, I wonder if I should just go for whatever job in Canada. Recently I received an offer from the Chinese University of Hong Kong for Master of Public Health (MPH), but after asking all of the people around me (who is already in the field), they said they didn't come across anyone with an Asian master in the job market. That comes to a conclusion that either I take the MPH and be stuck in Hong Kong for life, or I don't take it and continue being Idle in Canada. My dad said I complicated the situation and frustrated myself because it is a simple decision - "if you really dislike Hong kong, why bother to think of going back". And yes, I dislike Hong Kong, the wage, the culture, the weather.. I just simply prefer Canada. But I am jobless here. People, from your own point of view, what would you do? Go to Hong Kong knowing that life would be easier, or stay in Canada, continue looking for a job and try to do more certification? A million thanks with your opinion! B
  4. Hi everyone, I am having such big headache choosing which program gives me a better and more stable career in Canada. So recently I got accept by a couple universities in Hong Kong for Master of Public Health (health promotion), and Master of Health informatics, I have no luck with Canadian grad school therefore I have to choose between these two. However, I worried about the credentials that I earned over there whether they will be applicable in Canada. Health promotion's credentials.. are not as important as Health informatics? I assumed health promotion is more about scientific knowledge you share and health informatics are more practical? I know that Health informatics is a growing field... Which program is more likely to get me a job after graduation? Somehow I feel like health promotion's job market is very fluctuating and they love health professionals more (I graduated with a B.A in Health Studies)? Which degree is more likely to get me a more competitive income in long term? I really appreciate everyone of your help. Thank you in advance!
  5. Hi everyone, I graduated in 2014 June from UofT majoring in health studies and human geography (B.A.), and have a passion in changing lives and helping people. I figured I would love to work for the the NGOs or hospitals for jobs like program coordinator or health promotion related jobs. However even the entry level positions these days require a masters degree everywhere. Therefore I applied to grad school for Masters of Public health in my last undergrad year, unfortunately got denied to all of the schools I applied . I learned about the 2nd entry nursing programs (bachelor) from uoft and yorkU and applied for 2015 fall entry because I wanted to work in healthcare settings anyways, it is always beneficial to have of some professional registration. Sadly since it only takes 2 years and people are more interested in nursing these days, the program is as competitive as masters program, and I already got denied by York U I guess I have a brief idea on uoft's application. My last year's gpa is 3.04 and cgpa is only 2.58 (I had a hard time during the first two years). Since basically universities only look at your undergrad gpa for applications, that means I am hopeless for getting a masters in my life unless i do another 4-year degree?? Anyone know about any easy acceptance masters programs (Canada/US/UK..) that is kind of related in my field? Now I am just applying to full time jobs while waiting for acceptance from nursing, and I am hardly getting any interviews. With my degree, and even college diploma in the future.. i fear i cannot get very far for my career I am doomed for life? can never afford a house? I need to change field? doing another 4-year undergrad is a lot of money and time too... what should I do? Please help me out and give me some suggestions, no matter you know about a job opportunity, or a program, or even some suggestions in life. I would appreciate it a lot.
