For everyone accepted into UofT, how did you activate your emails? Did you already get your Tcards and then activated your UTMail?

Looks like you can't activate your U of T email until you get your UTORid, which you get when you go in person and get a Tcard. But if you're out of town, you can use your JOINid (from your application) and student number (on your offer letter) to access ACORN so you can pay tuition and register for classes among other things. Check "Using your JOINid" at: http://www.dlsph.utoronto.ca/students/current-students/information-for-incoming-students/

Have you heard anything regarding an information session for UofT MPH (I'm in Epi), tuition payment, program schedule, ROSI/ACORN, getting a uoft student card etc? Other people I know in other streams have gotten a student card. I'm getting a little anxious that I didn't receive an email about anything.
I haven't heard anything from them either, but if you're in Toronto you can just go to the Tcard office and get your student ID. Make sure you have all the necessary documents, I saw someone get turned away. http://tcard.utoronto.ca/getting-your-new-tcard-2/

Have either of you heard from Fromm department since?
Just realized today they sent the correction to our U of T emails, not to our personal ones where they sent the erroneous rejections.

So for anyone who got an offer from DLSPH and then received a rejection this morning it IS A MISTAKE. Take a deep breath. I spoke with Susan Bondy and they accidentally sent rejection emails to everyone...
THANK YOU!!!
I just took a late lunch at work, saw the email and FREAKED OUT. Also it's been two hours not sure why it's not a priority for them to send out corrections.

I have revoked my acceptance to Queen's MPH as I accepted Epi at UoT, and was just waiting to hear back confirmation of my acceptance. So a spot should open up for Queen's!
Hey! Just wondering what the process was for this for you? I emailed Gerri and she responded cc'ing the School of Graduate Studies for them to take care of it, but I never heard from them and my SGS status still says "offer accepted", so I'm a bit unsure if this was dealt with or not.

I really want to apply but the deadline is on the 15th. I started writing my personal statement then realized I have no academic writing pieces relevant to global health. The closest thing I have is a critical book review on a book about homelessness. I doubt it'll make the cut. No time to write a 10 page paper either. Any idea how competitive the specialization is?
Not sure about competitiveness, but I was just talking to a friend who did the program a few years ago, and she said it was just as easy to set up global health practica without being in the global health emphasis (she did two global health practica and did not do the emphasis). So even if you don't get in to the collaborative or didn't end up applying, you can still choose to focus on global health on your own. Not sure what other benefits there are to actually being in the collaborative program. My friend also mentioned that people she knew who did the emphasis did not ultimately find it that valuable, FWIW, but this was a few years ago and it seems like they're making some changes with the switch from emphasis to collaborative, so who knows.

Anyone else who received an unofficial offer to U of T epi on April 28 not receive an official offer yet? Starting to get anxious since some others have received them and I haven't heard anything yet...
Those who have received your official offer, did your application status change in the SGS portal?

Those who got in to U of T epi, when is your deadline to accept?
Two weeks from when official offer emails are sent out. I received an unofficial offer ("recommendation for admission") from DLSPH Epi division on April 28th but have not yet received the official offer email from the School of Graduate Studies.

Congratulations to all those who got accepted at DLSPH!! I'm still waiting to hear some good news. Would any of you like sharing how were you informed? Was it a mass email or a personal email to everyone? Also has any of yours status changed on sgs?
By email, personalized in that it has my name and applicant number but the rest is generic I'm sure. SGS still says under review. Good luck! Hope you hear soon

Just got an email that I've been recommended for admission to U of T's MPH Epidemiology! Good luck to those still waiting to hear.
Will be declining offers to Waterloo, UVic, and Queen's for those hoping to get off the wait lists.

Hey! I sent a few emails trying to find out what was going on but never got a real answer. Received my official offer ten days after that post/a month after my unofficial offer. Still don't know why there was a delay, but I wouldn't worry, you should get it soon. Congrats!
