They said they will get back to everyone by the end of June.
Apparently, they will be picking people from various categories such as BSc/BA/mature students for a more diverse class. It looks like they have an over-representation of BSc students who have accepted their offers.
What is your background? I am a BSc Physics major. ?I hope we have some movement on the waitlist
hey, i am waitlisted as well. how did you find out that they have an overrepresentation of BSc students? I am BSc double major in med sci and psych. damn this really makes me very anxious.

Thanks so much for sharing, @QueensSpec! As of today, 47 people had accepted their offers (program has 60 seats total). Would you happen to know about any other criteria that may use, such as ethnic background, nationality, etc?
It is possible that some of those 47 might have accepted the offers at other universities as well, and then decide to not pay the deposit at Western MPH by early June.
On this chat itself, I see 9 of us who have been waitlisted, including myself (there are currently 13 spots available, assuming all of the 47 attend). @a19 @PD9090 @KPJ @QueensSpec @kuttychathan @HaileyS @PM26 @Mph201999
Would you like to share your background (undergrad/grad/major) to help us get a better estimate? Also, will anyone be rejected their Western MPH offer?
I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Physics) from Canada this Spring. I have public health & healthcare experience.
On another note, I just received a rejection from MUN. Was hoping for at least a waitlist hahaha *crying internally*
damn 47 already accepted? my friend in the program said two people who are close friends of his in the class were accepted in September. another friend told me for many people money can be an issue and they end up not committing. i only applied to this program which is clearly not a good idea.
as for stats, I am a BSC double major, last two years 3.9 somethings GPA, 3 years of research experience in a hospital, 6 years of extensive community work from building houses to fundraising over 40k with magazine publications. tbh if i got waitlisted i dont think any of this really mattered to them or that i stood out. sigh.
at this point things are out of my control so i am trying to stay calm and plan my next moves. good luck to you and everyone

two of my close friends did this program. one, who graduated a year ago is now doing a phd offered through this program and has a great supervisor. the other one who is now in the program LOVES it and says every aspiring physician should take it as brings a holistic approach to medicine (but i guess that applies to all mph) and is also doing practicum abroad and is potentially part of an international research article that will be published. another aspect it that it is just one year. both are in so much debt tho lol. however, all profs personally ask to be your references because they know you so well. if you get a shitty group tho then your life sucks is what they said.
also for practicums out of 60 only 4 or so are paid. sigh.

Hey, does anybody know if westerns tuition ($36,000) is worth the program? I have accepted my offer to queens but got accepted to western yesterday via phone call. Debating if the western tuition is worth the CEPH accreditation.

I still haven't heard back from Western MPH. To those who have received an acceptance, was the acceptance emailed? I have also been checking my student center, which says "Released to program".
I have been checking every single day since friday and it says the same thing as you. My friend who is in the program asked the coordinator and she said they release it n apr 1st and he told me he got his acceptance last year mar 28. Hope you get in.
GOOD LUCK
