It seems like (according to the people who have posted on this forum) that U of A has only recently moved forward with MSc degrees and no word on any MPH degrees, unfortunately! I am waiting too.
I don't know what you mean. "Due to their back log and high applicant number this year successful applicants won't be notified until Mid-April" is the exact same thing as "Due to a higher than expected number of applications....we are aiming to advise all successful applicants by mid-April." I don't see the difference.
This is my second year applying to the MPH Health Promotion stream at U of A. I didn't apply to more than one last year and I didn't this year - might change my mind next year. Anyone heard back from this stream in particular?
