hi guys! for any incoming uofa students we made a facebook group! here’s the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/482384142877297

omg fr tho! i want to know if i need to move or not. i wish we got more information about fall specifically for our program like what other classes we need outside of the core ones they listed for us since a couple are in person

i saw the same thing when i looked at the courses! i think a couple of other sph classes are in person but i’ve only seen that for a select few. personally i think they’ll keep most of it online

thank you! i did, i got the email to check gsms at around 2pm mst

hi guys i just wanted to come and say i got an offer from uofa for health policy!!! best of luck to everyone!!

i think so! my friend who submitted around the same time as me is under prescreening as of yesterday when they updated me. they applied for health promo

i'm under review for health policy but ive been there for a couple of weeks tho

I submitted mine in late Nov and right now mine says under review for health policy, but my friend who submitted around the same time but whos reference sent their letter in last minute is still in pre screening right now!

Hi guys! I'm planning to apply to just UAlberta this year for financial reasons, but maybe in the future I'll apply to other schools if uofa doesn't accept me. The one thing that concerns me the most is my gpa - I read that the mean gpa is 3.7, but my gpa in the last 20 courses is only 3.675 so I'm kind of scared!! I'm also not sure if my background would help me be a better candidate. A little about me: I'm in my last year of my bachelors of community rehabilitation at the University of Calgary I've been working at a hospital since 2013, not a healthcare worker but I work directly with patients kind of I've had a couple of practicums working with children in early childhood intervention programs in preschools My current practicum is research, but it's remote so I'm just at home (just a lit review though) I used to volunteer with children with disabilities for about a year I'm also unsure how to spin all this so it sounds public health forward in my LOI, I don't think I'm the strongest writer or the most convincing one out there lmao I'm also concerned about letters of references - I have 2 professional ones secured, but my academic one is TBD. I don't have strong relationships with my profs or even my research supervisor since basically all my correspondence is via email. Do you guys think schools prefer 2 professionals + 1 academic ref vs. 3 professional refs? Thank you!!
