Anyone know if Western MPH students can add a collaborative specialization with our degrees?

Got accepted to Western MPH just 10 minutes ago so it seems like offers are still going out?

I think it means that they gave out acceptances over a long period of time, meaning each person probably has a different date they have to accept by. That means that they can't tell us when they'd do the second round of acceptances since everyone will accept / decline at a different time. 

 

Typically rolling admissions mean that the people who applied first will be accepted first, then they keep evaluating until the spots are full but I don't think that is relevant in this case.

I was told by one of the Western program coordinators this morning after being notified of being on the waitlist that offers off the waitlist are in part based on subgroups that they place each waitlisted candidate in. Some (perhaps most) schools follow a numbered waitlist, while Western MPH's program does not. 

She explained that I am placed in the "undergrad science" waitlist, and similarly, others are placed in "undergrad arts" and other similar subgroups. As people either accept or decline their offers over April and May, they will be making sure that their incoming class is diverse enough by pulling from the waitlist groupings they need. I'm assuming that, for instance, if they have too many "undergrad science" students accepting offers and making up their incoming class, then they'll pull from other waitlist subgroups. 

This being said, I think by rolling admissions they mean that they are evaluating their waitlist individuals on an ongoing basis depending on how their class demographic is looking. I also want to note diversity may only be one instance where they pull from waitlist groups - there could be many other reasons as well!
