has anyone heard from any university regarding their formatting for classes this fall?

Your public health experience doesnt necessarily have to be with a public health agency. Remember that public health is very broad, and can be applied to many different work places. I work at a community resource centre who helps individuals who have no access to secure housing or food, and thats definitely along the lines of Social Determinants of Health. A friend got into an MPH program and works as a Research Interviewer and she was able to relate that to Public Health policies. Regardless, whatever experience you have (which is what a lot of universities are looking for), make sure you know how it can relate to Public Health, and play that up when you're writing your statement of intent, especially with a low GPA. I would suggest to take classes that will raise your last 2 years GPA. A lot of schools are looking for a B+ at least. And getting in with a 3.0 is possible, as long as your statement and references are strong. Hope this helps.

I heard Calgary schools are wanting to move with online classes but I’m not sure if UofA will follow

I just got the same rejection for HP

my friend who received this email is domestic

Hi everyone, a friend received this email from Guelph. I thought I'd share if any one is still waiting on them.

I received my letter on March 25th i shared it a few weeks ago here

Aw nice! I’m coming from Alberta and I really wanted to see the campus so I tried watching YouTube videos hahah they weren’t that helpful but I got a glimpse at least. I accepted the offer online and my requirement for my conditional offer was to send them my transcripts. I did that ASAP but I forgot their physical offices were closed. So I sent them an email asking how they would know when they’ve received it, but they can’t confirm until their offices open back up. Unless the institution that sent it to them has a tracking number which I still have to inquire about. So I think for now the only thing you need to do are the requirements of your conditional offer (if it’s conditional).

Just received an acceptance from western but will be declining as I already accepted Guelph’s. Hope someone on here will hear from them soon ?

I've been reaching out to current Guelph MPH students and ive received nothing but positive feedback! They said that the program offers a lot of flexibility in the electives so you can choose ones that will suit your interests. I also read someone's blog that said the focus on human health is not lacking, I will link it here: https://phspot.ca/mph-options/ If you have other worries I do suggest to reach out to current students who have similar interests.

Has anybody received rejections/wait lists from uofa or western?

My number one reason really is the location. I have family in Toronto and would be nice to be close to them. But I also really like the variety in courses Guelph provides, the integration of zoonotic diseases is definitely a nice twist, and very fitting because of what the world is currently going through with COVID-19. Guelph also allows 4 electives from any courses in the graduate calendar as I understand, and that will allow me to explore other fields of interest (particularly for me, I'm hoping ill be allowed to take the One Health course which connects animal, human, and environmental systems). The capstone project will also allow me to test my skills and enhance those skills for the real world Hope this helps!

I accepted mine ?

Was anyone who got accepted to Guelph offered a TA position?
