  1. Thankfully, it was a mistake!
  2. I just got a rejection email from UBC. But here's the thing: months ago I was accepted. I got an informal email from the program director, then I got an official PDF letter from the school accepting me into the program. I even had a zoom call with the program director to discuss the program and me coming to UBC. I've sent my transcripts in the mail. Everything was squared away. Then today I receive this mass-email, not personalized, penned to all the applicants, saying I was rejected. Please tell me others got this? And this is a huge mistake? I'm freaking out. I emailed them back but it's a holiday.
  3. I didn't get into UofT's OEH program. I did get into UBC's though! I'm super excited to go out west. Anyone else going into UBC's OEH this year?
  4. Does anyone know the class size for UBC's MSC in Occupational and Environmental Health?
  5. Randomly so soon. I'll know two weeks today. (three weeks from interview date)
  6. I think it went well! I probably got out around 60% of the content that I rehearsed and wanted to get out, unfortunately. However, they asked program-specific on the spot questions about how things are made, that I think I actually nailed! It was really relaxed and casual.
  7. I was just called today to set up an interview for Friday! (UofT OEH Program).
  8. Hi guys, I am looking to apply to the UofT MPH in Occupational and Environmental Health (first choice) as well as the McGill MSc, too. I see that UofT MPH are quite competitive, but almost NO ONE is talking about Occupational and Environmental Health!! I have no idea what's competitive or what. The fact they only admit 15 students per year is really really bothersome, because while my grades are okay, I don't think overall I'd be in the top 15 applicants... In terms of my grades I have 3.8 GPA in last two years, 3.9 in the last year (which UofT only looks at). So grade-wise I believe I'm sitting pretty. I have one undergraduate Statistics 1 course with an 80, so I meet that requirement as well. The only thing is the experience. So I have two years of experience volunteering in a Physiotherapy clinic on campus, and I also have almost a year of work experience post-graduating at a food bank coordinating a community garden as well as doing property maintenance/accepting donations, etc. Would this role count as Public health experience? I was reading that UofT considers any sort of public-facing body that deals with inequity and vulnerable populations (like a food bank) as public health experience, what do you guys think? Finally I'm applying for COVID-19 Contact Tracer with the Ontario Ministry of Health, which I think would definitely look good. How are my chances looking here?
