    I go to uWaterloo, I'm graduating in a few months! Love the program. The profs were all stellar and very accomplished in their fields. My practicum was great. 

    The only reason they aren't CEPH accredited is because they do not have a Medical program at the school. It's one of the oldest MPH programs in Canada. 

    Thanks so much for this :) Both schools and programs are very well respected, and I'm doing both distance. So I've just been looking through the required courses and I think that will be what helps me make my final decision. So glad you enjoyed the program! That's great to hear.

    Congratulations!!!! thats amazing!! if you can, can you share your profile??

    Currently completing my BSc Health Promotion at Dalhousie with a 3.7/4.3 GPA. Have quite a bit of volunteer experience including a 590-hour internship working under a well-known prof in Health Promotion. Minimal paid experience relevant to the field. Also have solid references (Health Promotion Manager at a major not-for-profit and my prof). Good luck :)

    Congrats. When did your application status changed to "under review" from "pre screening"?

    Hi docyosh, I've been accepted to MPH Health Promotion as well at UofA and mine switched about 3 weeks before I received acceptance. Good luck!

    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. 

    Hi there. I received the same letter from Sask. You basically just have to confirm your interest to get final acceptance. I would accept this just to be safe as my understanding is there is no down payment or anything at this stage.

    Congratulations!!!

    Did you submit official transcripts before they offered you admission? They sent me a message today asking me to submit my official transcripts. 

    Thank you! In my application I submitted scanned versions of my official transcripts. They wouldn't accept my university's online version.
