Thats actually really good to know. I applied to the MSN/MPH program which takes longer since my application has to be reviewed by two separate committees. Hoping to get an answer soon though but I imagine it will be this week or next.I also applied to UVic... They told me last Monday that it would be "later that week or early this week"..... Still waiting!

Hi! I am a fairly-new grad. I graduated September 2016, so by the time I start MPH, I will have one year experience. I do see that the experience is incredibly important but also think going straight from BSN to be ideal for me. I wrote my NCLEX November 2016 after travelling for a month, so yes I did have my CRNBC license when I applied. It sounds as though you a great start to your application, experience in research is valuable. I wouldn't worry about acceptance rates, but more on cultivating your own application. I think nurses (along with all health practitioners) have a wealth of incredible personal experiences that make them ideal candidates to delve deeper into the complexities of public health! London School of Hygiene has a distance MScPH that is apparently really great. The school has a really great reputation on the international level. I'm tempted!

I havnt heard from UBC yet! I applied to the MPH/MSN program. Figured if I had the ability to get both- why not. Although the MSN isn't directly in my wheel house of goals. I'm a bit scared because although my undergraduate GPA is quite high (BSN program 3.8, along with valedictorian, extra curriculars etc...) my stats course is the lowest of all my grades (B). I think UBC calls for a B+. Hoping this could be overlooked but I am guessing I will find out soon enough. Also applied to UVIC, as their program is mostly online and I am working full-time as a research assistant. I am hoping I hear from either soon!

Hi! Anyone hear from UVIC or UBC? I applied for both programs after being accepted to LSHTM Distance MScPH. I emailed both UVIC and UBC last week and asked their timeline. UBC said next couple of weeks and UVIC said last week.... #annoyed. Also... anyone have any insight into LSHTM distance program. I know that school has an incredible reputation but hoping the distance program is also regarded that high?
