Just wanted to update everyone in case anyone's wondering about Saskatchewan School: University of Saskatchewan Date: Jan 25 Status: Recommended to CGPS

Yeah my order is UofA > SFU > Sask > Lakehead. So far I've only heard back from Saskatchewan (accepted), but I'm hoping to hear back from the others soon!

Mine still says Pre-screening, and it's for Health Promotion. How about you?

I don't have experience with research in grad school, but I did do Independent Research while in Undergrad at UofT. I approached one of my professors. We didn't know each other very well at the time, but he at least knew who I was. I told him about my research idea, and he put me in contact with another professor. They ended up co-supervising my research project.

I also applied to Alberta, Sask, Lakehead, plus SFU. Could you share your thoughts on the programs and why your preference is UofA? Trying to rank my choices here.

I applied to the same 3 programs, plus Lakehead MPH (Indigenous and Northern Health). Could you share your thoughts on what you think about the programs? I'm trying to rank my choices.

Hey everyone. I applied to the following MPH programs: University of Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, Lakehead and SFU. I've heard back from Saskatchewan so far (yay!) I have a BSc in Global Health. My goal is to work in Health Promotion. I'd like to have temporary placements in different parts of the world (esp. Latin America), but my permanent goal is to work in Northern Canada (I'm from ON, but I currently live in NWT). Could you share some thoughts on these different programs? UofA: specialization on Health Promotion. Saskatchewan: seems great, doesn't focus specifically on Health Promotion but I like the variety of courses (everything from Environmental PH to PH policy...). Lakehead: specialization on Indigenous and Northern Health. SFU: to be honest I don't know much about it. I applied because friends from BC highly recommended it ("It's the Harvard of the West Coast!") ---- Also, could someone clarify this from Saskatchewan: "The School of Public Health has reviewed your application and has recommended you for admission to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (CGPS), which is the formal granting body for admissions. Once you accept your seat to the program, we send your information to CGPS for final review. From there, if they believe the student is a suitable candidate, they will send an official letter of acceptance via email and the student will be required to officially accept their seat via an online portal (PAWS). Admission may be revoked if students do not meet the criteria that CGPS has laid out in the official letter of acceptance. The deadline to accept your seat is March 1, 2019. " How does that work? If I choose Saskatchewan, I'm scared to accept their offer, reject others, and then have their offer revoked and be left with no programs.

When I called UofA they said admissions letters will go out in mid-to-late February! Please keep us posted, whoever hears back!
