Hi everyone, I received my acceptance to Guelph this afternoon. I'm soo ecstatic because I really didn't think I would get in since my GPA isnt the best.. here is my profile in hopes it will give someone on here and future applicants some hope

Graduated BSc. Biological Anthropology; GPA in last 2 years : 3.46 and no stats courses

- I volunteered at a children's hospital emergency room for 2.5 years just to answer questions from people in the waiting room and provide some activities to the kids while they waited, so not really PH related.

- was a research assistant in paleontology lab for 6 months

- was research assistant at the children's hospital in the day surgery unit for 7 months

- infection prevention and control education volunteer at the children's hospital for a few months 

- executive in a school club and student council for 2 years as well as a peer helper for a year. 

- I've been working as a Youth Worker for a little over a year since graduating in 2018 so most of my PH related experience is from this role, I also work at a retirement home but only as a Food Service Assistant and I managed to relate that to a nutrition and diet type of experience. 

- my LOI were from 2 anthro profs, one who wanted me to write the letter and then she proof read it. It was a really good way of overselling myself and im so grateful she was too lazy to write the letter herself lol. So if you ever get the chance to write your own reference letter, don't be scared to oversell and make yourself look really good.

A really good tip for applying to Guelph is to read the FAQ section as there are some added tips on there as to what you can include in your LOI to make it stronger. I really believe that's part of the reason I got accepted. 

I'm still waiting to hear from UofA and Western.

If you have any more questions, just ask Best of luck to everyone and congrats to everyone who got accepted!!

Congratulations on your acceptance. Did you receive an email? Or did you happen to check the webadvisor?

I've been waiting for a response from Guelph. They've started sending out acceptances, from what I hear. Guess I'm not getting in this year.

Good luck to anyone else who applied! Still waiting on SFU to get back to me before I decide. ⏳

Congratulations! Do you mind sharing your profile?

USask ppl haven’t replied to anyone as of now, I guess. I wrote to them a few days ago and they said that they will start inform all students of their decision by April. So, I am guessing that we will start hearing from them by the end of this month.

 Would you please share your profile details? Have you applied to UoA too?

I completed my medical studies from India with an average of 3.0 GPA.

Internship for a year in rural areas dealing with patients on a regular basis which I'm hoping would boost the public health experience. 

Published a paper with my professor in one of the online journals.

Internship for 2 months in one of the teaching hospitals in the US.

Currently working under a physician in a private hospital in India. 

I understand that my profile isn't that strong, especially the score. Hope some opportunity opens up. I've been logging into the portals every day. The uncertainty and waiting period is exhausting.

Hello

I'm an international Medical graduate. I've applied to MPH programs at UoGuelph and UoSask. Also applied to the MS Epidemiology program at UoOttawa. Haven't received a reply from any of them yet.
