Hi! I applied to this program as well. I was informed that the offers will be coming out sometime next week! Coming up pretty quickly... good luck to you!

Thank you and I hope you receive some good news soon! The deadline to accept for today’s offers is April 2nd (which is coming up pretty quickly). No other conditions to the offer. I graduated from uoft last year, so I guess I’m considered a professional (amateur really). Majors: Human biology and Psychology (cGPA of 3.3; last two years’ GPA ~3.6) - 3 years of research experience in invasional ecology (with a manuscript in prep); 2 years of RA experience in social neuroscience - completed 2 independent research projects during my undergrad (in two different disciplines relevant to my degree) - collaborating on a meta analysis relevant to clinical psych. - currently employed as a project manager/RA for a clinical Epidemiology department at a hospital. My focus with this role is collaborating on a systematic review on healthcare in underserved populations. This is a significant bit of experience for me as it is my only direct experience in epi research. - various other research related employment, volunteer clinical experience (hospital, on-campus emergency response group) - personally, I think my favourite element of my app was my letter of intent. I really tried to connect my experiences as it pertains to public health and had very specific goals within the program. I’m a second time applicant (waitlisted last year) so I made sure that I showed some evolution from then to now. - i did terrible on the GRE’s quant component. Did well on the other sections and got As for all of my statistic courses in undergrad. I really do think they place an emphasis on experience and the letter. - Also i have known my referring professors (both of them were my supervisors for my honours thesis and I was employed with them as well) for 3+ years. Good luck to you — fingers crossed!

Just got an offer from uoft epi!

I’ve never heard of anyone actually having a phone interview from the 2017 cycle. But they do state this on their Epi application process page. Normally, telephone interviews are shorter than face-to-face/Skype interviews. They likely think you’re a qualified applicant, and found something from your application that needs some probing. Maybe go through your CV/letter of intent and be very clear on your expectations and aspirations within the program and from epi ad a field. Good luck!

Yeah the candidate net that they attract has become more and more expansive over the years... just like anything I guess. Is it the IMS program that you are looking into? I didn’t have any direct public health experience when I applied last year. But I’m not a top notch academic... so take this with a grain of salt. This year, I’m hoping that my clinical epi experience gets me a second look. Unless they like you and decide to give you an offer from their first round (around end of April from last year), we will be waiting for quite the while! Good luck!

I would definitely prefer attending uoft because I’m from Toronto and I think they offer a great range of collaborative options to integrate into your program. I actually applied to this program last year, and was waitlisted and ended up with a rejection. This year... the GRE is definitely an obstacle for me... I didn’t do well on quant. Hoping for the best! But UAlberta has a very good MPH program as well. They were the first MPH program in Canada to become accredited. But I think their specialization option in epidemiology is not that well known? They offer an MSc as well!

Hey! I applied for that program as well. Also applied to the MPH in Epidemiology program at UAlberta.

Thanks for letting me know! Not a lot of buzz around here about the epi program at McGill.

Congrats! Were you notified via email?

Congrats to everyone on their offer today from McGill! I applied for McGill's MSc in Epidemiology. When was the application deadline for the MScPH program? Just trying to figure out if early offers are possible for epi as well.

Got official rejection from DLSPH for epi

Did they make it seem like the chances are quite slim to make it out of the waitlist? Did they make any other comments about the waitlist itself or if they are planning to contact any others? And sorry, last question: did you receive any notification prior to your call from DLSPH's (Epi)?

I love that you're so ready to moving forward! I'm still waiting to hear back from UofT. Was it an official letter that was mailed to your home address, or was it an email?

Congrats!! Are you a current UofT student? If you are, was this offer one of the emails that were queued since the outage last Friday?

Congrats to you!!! I similarly got rejected from Mac! Hoping for the same miracle You're from uoft?
