This might be premature but for those who have accepted their offers to Queen's MPH have you started looking for housing options? ... It's a bit intimidating looking for a place, if anyone is interested in having a roommate(s) please feel me to message me!

For those who have accepted their offers to queen's mph program, have you been asked to pay a deposit as of yet? ... I haven't so I wasn't sure if I should be following up
-
got waitlisted to Western's MPH program this morning as well

Just wondering if anyone has heard from U of T or McMasters?
I was waitlisted for Mac, has anyone else who was waitlisted heard back from them?

I got accepted to Waterloo's MPH program, but I will most likely be declining the offer

Thank you!! And of course... I submitted the actual app through OUAC with payment on January 24th but I was uploading my documents right up until the night before the deadline (January 31st was my last upload!).
Hope that info helps & good luck!
@nads6 congrats!!! For Guelph, did they update your admission status on WebAdvisor?

Yep, says that in my UoA as well. I contacted their grad office who said to ignore that as they're having some technical issues. The action for me was needing to submit formal transcripts which is only required upon offer of acceptance.
Hope that helps.
Same here! ... also just as an update I received a message from U of A today saying the following:
"Your application to the Masters of Public Health (MPH) degree in the School of Public Health for Fall 2017 has been received and is being processed. Due to a higher than expected number of applications, our review process will be slower than in previous years. Please be assured your file will be reviewed in detail, and all qualified applicants will be considered for potential recruitment scholarship. We are aiming to advise all successful applicants by mid-April"

Hey! Was this on Bear Tracks or on ApplyGrad SOPAS site?
The status update was on the "Portal Login" page not Bear Tracks. I didn't apply using the SOPHAS site, so not sure if you would see the same update there

The only program I applied to is the U of A MPH program with a focus in health promotion. My application status on the applicant portal changed from "application submitted" to "under review". Ahhh I wonder how much longer the waiting game will be!
my application status changed to under review as well, hopefully we should hear back shortly!

Does anyone happen to know what the rankings are for MPH programs in Canada?

Hey everyone!
Does anybody have an idea as to when Mac, Queens, U of A & Western send out their offers for their MPH programs?

I applied for U of A Global Health and U of T (Sociobehavioural) this year. Anyone have more information about the U of A Global Health program and what the pros/cons are about the program? I haven't found too much info on it, and they are not very transparent on their website.
I have about a 3.85 GPA for the last two years and some public health-related ish experience. Mostly clinical research experience actually. However, my thesis is more related to social determinants of health.
I was looking into the Global Health program at U of A, but decided not to apply. Although I have an interest in global health, I don't have international experience. When I was doing my research I found that a lot of people who got into that program and the global health emphasis at UofT had either done research internationally or volunteered abroad prior to applying. Just to add though, this type of experience isn't required but it definitely gives you an advantage. Outside of that though, I haven't heard a lot about that program either.

Hello. I submitted my application to queens last month.
There isnt a separate section for the statement of interest, however there are separate sections on the application that ask you questions that you would otherwise have answered in your statement of interest
Basically I wrote a statement of interest, and then copied and pasted it into the fields when applicable.
Goodluck!
Hey there,
The SOI for the Queen's MPH application appears just after the "Resume" section and before the "Departmental Questions". The way that it shows up is kind of confusing but there is a separate text box for the SOI, hope that helps!

I've worked as a Pharmacy Assistant and a Tele-Researcher for a healthcare data collection agency. I would probably need more relevant experience right?
It's hard for me to say because I come from a different type of background... I've worked as a research assistant and I have work experience with a local public health unit, but I still think there is value in the health-related experience you have! I would encourage you to contact the schools you are interested in applying to, they can give you a better sense for what they look for
-
I've heard from people who previously applied that certain schools like U of T or McGill can be very picky about following their guidelines for the application such as word count, I would contact the school directly just to double check with them

Hi guys, I'm a 5th year student at a Canadian University looking into MPH programs across the country.
cGPA: 3.1
Last 2 years GPA: 3.7
Last year GPA: 3.9I was wondering if what my chances of admission would be I took a year off before I applied in order to work on my extracurriculars and gain experience in fields related to public health? Also would my cGPA hurt my chances? I was of the mindset that they only considered the last year or last 2 years GPA.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
What type of experience do you have as it stands? From my understanding most schools take the last 2 years into consideration, so I don't think the cGPA would play a large role in their decision.

Hey, I'm also on the fence about those. What are your concerns?
Some people I know who did their MPH online mentioned there's little opportunity to network with faculty and other students

Hey There!
I accepted my offer online as well, but it doesn't mention anything about accessing a Queen's email account .... not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that my offer is conditional (just finished my undergrad couple of weeks ago). I am looking for roommates/housing as well, so please feel free to message me!
