haven't heard anything but BC gov's restart plan says if transmission rates remain low then post-secondary will be a mix of online/in person

Has anyone set up a group for SFU? Would love to meet some of the cohort!

Sure! A few reasons are 1. Depth and breadth of course offerings- more required courses than the other programs, option to take additional electives, the range of required courses touch on a variety of topics important to me, and between the required courses and elective offerings I can focus on quantitative skills 2. location (volunteer/research opportunities and plenty of practicum choices in van if I don’t want to relocate for the summer) 3. Capstone- I don’t want to do a thesis and I think this is a great alternative 4. They offered funding 5. Social justice perspective. This is a big one for me personally and career wise, although if you want a purely quantitative career it may not be as important if you'd like to discuss further feel free to message me, good luck w your decision!

I'm currently living on a Pacific island!

I'll be moving to Vancouver as well (assuming international flights are running by then haha) If you think the program is better suited, I wouldn't let it stop you and you're not alone!

I'm accepting SFU's offer and will be declining Guelph and Queen's for those still waiting

Amazing! Will you be accepting? I just received an email from the graduate studies office with details of funding, transcripts etc but nothing from the mph department. Let me know if you receive any more details from them

Hi everyone, I just checked my SFU portal and was admitted (no email so check your portals)!

Double bump ?

It says admitted as of “03/30/20” so sometime today

My Guelph portal was updated to admitted but I haven’t received any emails so might be worth checking for those waiting!

So sorry to hear that! Weird that they're contacting applicants on the weekend- did they email you?

If anyone wants to discuss Queen’s shoot me a message and I’ll add you to a chat on here!

FYI I finally received a rejection from UBC today!

I also received an offer from Queen’s this morning and have until April 7 to decide
