Hey Ringettegoalie, Thanks so much for your detailed reply! It was really insightful and will help when it comes time to make a decision. All the best!!

While it is super expensive, I don't think it's fair to entirely write off the entire program as one for "rich people who did not get in elsewhere." You don't know whether people did or didn't get in anywhere and what their financial, living and family situation is. I also really like the unique case-based approach which plays well to the strengths of students who did a great deal of case work in their undergrad. $30k is definitely difficult but it doesn't mean someone didn't get in elsewhere. Thanks for your input though.

Grad1515, thank you so much for replying!! I'm relieved that it doesn't have to do with the program prestige, and wow, I didn't realize the tuition cost was so different between UWO and other schools. Perhaps it has to do with the case-based approach they take? But even then, that's still quite expensive. If I get into Mac's MSc in Global Health, and it's not as expensive, maybe I'll re-think my decision. So much to consider, ahh!

Congrats!! If you accept, we'll be classmates

Hey everyone, I received an acceptance by phone today for UWO's MPH program. As I was scrolling through threads though, I noticed not a lot of people talk about UWO or seem to apply/attend. Is there any particular reason? Should I be concerned about accepting the offer? Can anyone tell me a bit about the program and why it doesn't seem to be as popular? I also applied to UW but received a rejection and I'm still waiting to hear back from McMaster. Thank you

Hey! Just wondering what made you change your mind about UWO? I just got an offer from there today and I'm worried about the program prestige. It seems not a lot of people opt to go there.

Woah! Glad I stumbled on this. I applied to UWO and got my acceptance by phone today!! Details to come by email in the next few days. I haven't heard back from McMaster yet and I was rejected from Waterloo. I was scrolling through pages and pages of this thread and noticed very little mention of UWO. Is the program not as strong as the others out there? Should I be worried?
