Thats such a sweet thing to say. Honestly. I should caveat all of that by saying I am in my mid-thirties and all of that took time. I started by undergrad at 25 after a tough youth. I want a PhD to lead my own research. I am chronically applying for grants for other people, and ignoring the gaps I experience. I love my life though and am able to wait another year. But thought I would chime in to say even us oldies (with lots of experience!) are having a tough time. In a field where everyone is superstars, the stars need to align with a small dose of luck

What is the Columbia Global Health & Humanitarian program? Sounds interesting. Rutgers sounds amazing too. I also had poor luck this year. I also don't know how to make myself a stronger applicant, maybe just time and a dash of luck...I too have many first author pubs (some in Lancet, JAMA etc..) Am a country rep to the WHO, have ++ years research experience, have a 10-year annual charity thing that I love and am a clinician! I aimed high but didnt even get interviews anywhere! Ive also been told theres alot that goes on behind the scenes. For example, funding etc... Oh well, another year without any crazy responsibilities I suppose!

Thanks! I didnt. It was an editorial that sort of came up after the deadline. I sent an email to the program admin. No harm will likely get the response below. Thanks so much for the intel! I sent the program admin an email. I imagine I will get the same response. Did you apply for Health Policy? I havn't heard anything yet and starting to make me sad.... (oh well, such is life!)
-
Question, if I had a pub come out today in a big medical journal (editorial not original research) that was not included in my application, would it be worth sending to the school? I am waiting for Harvard Policy. I already list like 14 pubs I think but this one is also noteworthy.....
-
Did you have your interviews yet? That does seem like a good sign!

Nice! Congrats. Mind if I ask you your stats? Curious to the backgrounds
-

Good luck! Longterm lurker on Canadian scholarships. Masters student right now (CIHR CGS M funded). Will apply for Trudeau/Vanier next year for doctoral studies! Best of luck and appreciate any tips or learnings alogn the way.
-
Adelaide, Congrats on Vanier. I would love to hear more about your learnings in applying for this award, especially as a PhD incomer (if I am understanding correctly?)

Any word on UBC? I got my acceptance two weeks ago. I didnt actually even apply at SFU or McGill but when I saw your post I checked out their programs. They both look amazing. McGill has some interesting opportunities and sometimes I think UBC is over-hyped (even if I did accept my offer :P)

I just got accepted off of UBC MSc. Waitlist! Accepted the offer! Super excited, definetly chalked that one up to a refusal!
-
I also did! What are the odds of getting in? I asked the program admin and she said she wouldnt know until around May.
-
Me too! Sorry to hear this Should we start at 2019 thread..... Ugh, not sure if I will apply there again. Second year in a row. (Sidenote, I had a professor who got declinded from UBC but got into Yale....)
-
I just heard from UBC MSc in Pop. Public Health. Waitlisted! Probably taking this as a no.... Ugh, so gutted. Apparently having a supervisor, funding, and two years as a research assistant as a lead on a national health canada project doesnt help very much. I dont know if I will apply again to UBC after all this.
-
Which policy programs did you apply to? I also am interested in this and might pursue this next year if I do not get into UBC again.
