I only saw in-person ones for class sizes of 15 or less. I’m certainly not upset about either form of delivery, I just wish they would clearly indicate their intentions!
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

Hello Everyone!
Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back from a school!
If anyone who was accepted to a program is still lurking here, have your schools made announcements as to whether you will be in-person or online next year? U of A seemingly hasn’t made any official announcements yet, but almost all of the MPH courses are 100% online according to the calendar released this week. Any other U of A MPH student notice the same thing? and do you think it’s reliable or subject to change? I’m an out of province student and I’m trying to decide if I need to start making moving arrangements.
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

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!!
