Just made a group for Usask! https://www.facebook.com/groups/USaskMPH2019/

Just an FYI for anyone waiting to hear back from SFU waitlist - just got an email saying that a lot of their accepted students have been taking their offers so no waitlisted students will be given an acceptance this time around. Also - any Facebook group being made for USask MPH students starting this Fall? Would love to connect with some of my fellow classmates!

Okay gotcha. I already uploaded my degree certificate, I'm guessing I just need to send them official transcripts.

U of A's health promotion can also be done online I believe.

Just got my official acceptance letter via email from USask! Still not sure what the conditional thing means but oh well!

No worries, I have a BSc in Natural Sciences with a 3.71 GPA based on my last 60 credits (had to do an open studies year after I graduated to boost my grades). I have been working in science education for the past year both teaching and tutoring. I do a bit of volunteering work and my major role is with a health charity with whom I've been volunteering with since I was in high school at both the local and national level, so I mostly talked about that in my LOI. Hope that helps, feel free to PM me if you have any more questions or want more details .

My U of S portal changed to department recommend - conditional!

Honestly, an MPH was my backup plan to medicine. So I've been looking into a backup to my backup plan haha. I've been thinking about doing a second bachelors and maybe coming back to public health because I really do like implementing policy and change on such a broad scale and then doing medicine after that - granted if anything decides to work out for me!

I also got a rejection letter from U of T health promo. Still waiting on SFU waitlist and USask!

Anyone get in via SFU waitlist? I'm still anxiously waiting.

I'm desperately waiting for an answer from them too.

I found out I was waitlisted via email and my position was mentioned in that email.

Oh wow, we totally feel each other's pain! U of A was my top choice so I feel pretty sad about being rejected. I applied to the Social Inequities and Health stream for SFU. I'm in position #3 on the waitlist which scares me a little because it could really go either way.

Rejected from U of A as well. Still waiting on U of T, U of S and if my position on SFU's waitlist moves.

@NorthernGalMPHHopeful and to anyone else who will find this useful, just got this email from U of A: Thank you for your e-mail and interest in our MPH programs here at the School of Public Health.
