Based on last year's thread people on the waitlist for Western's MPH heard back June 6th so fingers crossed!
Interesting! I’m still waiting for a response from UBC’s waitlist ?

How likely is it that we’ll even get off waitlists at this point? ?

Keep in mind that UBC purposely over-admits with the expectation that around half will decline (last year 61 offers were given out for a final enrollment of 33).I hope you get off the waitlist and join the cohort next year, but also be prepared to not get in.
That’s absurd. Would you happen to know how many they keep on their waitlist? Also, what’s the point of a waitlist if they’re going to over-admit by more than double...?

Same boat as you!
May the odds be ever in our favour ?

Does anyone know if UBC MPH’s waitlist has had any movement whatsoever? I remember seeing some posts on here saying they’ve declined UBC’s offer...surely they’d have some movement in the waitlist since then? I emailed UBC and they said there aren’t any new updates - so how would they have filled the places of those who declined admission? ?

UBC also just released that larger classes will be online and some smaller classes will be in person with individual faculties coming out with their plans for specific programs in the coming weeks. Not sure how this affects us MPH people yet since class sizes are fairly small ?
Hey! Where did you get this information from? I accepted an offer for a graduate program at UBC but it’s been radio silence from them regarding future protocols.

Just got my first rejection from UVIC!

Is there an SFU MPH groupchat yet?

Just wanted to let you all know that I recently declined my U of A Health Promotion Distance Ed offer. I hope this opens up a spot for one of you!

Has anyone gotten in from a BC University waitlist yet? Or know of anyone who has? I'm wondering if they've started accepting people from them yet. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Idk of any yet, I’m on the UBC MPH waitlist and haven’t heard of anyone being taken off the waitlist yet.

This might not be the right place to ask this, but have you guys heard from your schools/programs about how they’re going to proceed with the fall sem with regards to COVID-19? Like is it going to be all online, or a mix or online and in-person, or some other option.
Apparently, UofT wants to wait until May/June to discuss the fall sem, which sounds reasonable. But I’m just curious if other unis have started planning and what they’re doing.
UBC emailed and said they're still unsure of their fall enrolment and are unsure of how the physical distancing practices will affect their fall enrolment. But that's all that I've heard.

Our acceptance deposits ($250) were due on April 8th and course registration is June 2nd, so people still have time to consider deferring/dropping. I know other SPPH masters programs (not allowed to name them) are accepting people from the waitlist that are local applicants, because they are less likely to want to defer or decline their offer due to covid, so waitlist rank doesn’t really matter. Hang tight!
Interesting, thank you ☺️

Update for waitlisted candidates for UBC MPH: I emailed UBC about their waitlist and whether we can know what position we are on the list. They still said unfortunately they can’t release that information to us.
I personally don’t think this is fair because they can’t even give us a firm date by which we can expect to hear a final decision. -

I received an offer a couple weeks ago, but I turned it down last week. Hopefully you hear back soon
They're great at responding to inquiries about the status of things, so maybe email them about whether a new round of offers will be coming out soon?
Thank you! And congratulations!

Anyone hear anything from UVIC? Mine STILL says under review by department

I'm in the same boat as well! Very difficult in not knowing the timeline for when I should expect to hear back. I recently got accepted to the MSc program at UBC, and heard back from SFU recently saying that first-round offers have been sent out already and that further decisions may not be sent out until latest August. Not sure what I should do given these circumstances...
What are you thinking of doing? ?

Just got an email from UBC MPH regarding their waitlist. They said due to COVID-19 they're still unsure of their Fall enrolment (ie: who will actually be able to attend, etc.) and that they will continue to keep me on the waitlist until they make a final decision. They said likely spots will open up but they're unsure as to when they will be able to deliver their firm decisions to waitlist candidates. Anybody else in the same boat?

Hello everyone! I just got an offer of admission from UBC MPH off the waitlist a moment ago - so super happy to be admitted! I am still more interested in the SFU program than the UBC program so I may decline the offer from UBC, which will hopefully open up a spot for another deserving candidate. Haven’t made my decision yet but super excited to be starting grad school in the fall!
