Have to agree with @becca17 here. I work in government right now and they don't really care where your degree is from, especially for an MPH. I can see for an M.Sc mattering more due to research opportunities and funding but MPH is pretty standard. When looking at MPH programs, I would mostly be looking at how established the program is and what kind of connections/practicums they can offer you in your field of interest.

 

@becca17 

How does the government look at international versus domestic degrees?

Rejected from U of A MPH health promotion. I hope they get back to me as to what I am not competitive on. If anyone here is accepted into this program I would love to hear about their experience and attributes. 

 

How are you contacting them to get feedback? I also got rejected and am wondering about how to strength my applications in the future. Some of the schools have said that they cannot provide information on individual applications. I think UBC said that.

[International MPH degrees - working in Canada/USA]

I am considering applying for the MPH programs in Hong Kong. I am wondering if anyone here knows what the public health field in NA views international MPH degrees? For example, the Hong Kong universities do not have CEPH. Is CEPH viewed very importantly in the field?

Got an email from Western as well saying I'm on the waitlist. Did anyone get rejected yet? Or was this email sent to everyone that didn't get accepted yet. A little confused by the wording of the email.....

 

I was rejected this morning so that supports the other answers about the rolling admissions process. Good luck everyone!

Just curious, what are people's backups for next year? Online courses? Work? Travel? etc

Trying to help out a friend who's coming up with some backup plans

 

Look for a new job in public health, research other masters degrees and other education programs.

Hi guys. Just checked my U of A portal and saw I got rejected for the Global health program, waiting on U of S. hoping some good news comes but not holding my breath. 

 

 

Sorry to hear about UofA, hope you have good news from Sask!

What's the portal that you used to check? 

Edit: nevermnd I found it. Mine says "Under Review"

On my UWO status page it says "Released to Program". Does anyone know what that means?

Rejected from SFU MPH (Population Health Sciences Stream). Received results by email at 2:57PM local time (-7 GMT).
BA (Hon) in Psychology, 3.55 cGPA, 3.7 GPA (last sixty credits). Not a ton of health experience (.5 years in clinical health research post-graduation). 

Still waiting to hear back from UVIC (MPH) and UAlberta (MSc), but not holding my breath. There's always next year!

Best of luck everyone!

 

 I was rejected by SFU as well. Waiting on UAlberta, UWO, and UToronto. Good luck to you!

Perhaps this is a question better left for a separate thread, but I am wondering if any of you are applying for the second, third etc time? If so, what did you do in between then and now to improve your application, like LOI, work/volunteer experience, grades, etc?
