I'm hoping to teach and I was told by one of my profs that it's really hard to get a tenure track position at schools like UBC (where I went for undergrad) without a MA and PhD from the US /: Also grew up in Canada so I also really wanted a change in scenery! However, the tuition is so expensive at UMich (despite being a public school) and I don't want to deal with the debt. Feel feel to send me a PM too !

Also debating between U of T and a US school (University of Michigan) and I'm so conflicted

Got into U of T Health Promo!

Hi! Good luck to everyone applying this year! I'm graduating in Dec 2021 and will be applying to MPH programs for Fall 2022 and just have a few questions. I'm in honours sociology at UBC with a 3.7/82% GPA in my last two years but hoping to go up a percent or two in the next two semesters. My thesis is a quantitative study about mental health and immigration (am presenting at 2 conferences and hoping to publish too). My grade in lower level stats was only a 77 so I'm trying to upgrade it in a higher level stats class this semester to hopefully a 79-80 at least. My ECs include leading my own research team for a peer support mental health service at my school where we are creating a mental health education and outreach guide with information and resources for students, research student for a NGO's chapter at my school (more human rights and social justice focused rather than health related), VP of my sorority for a year, and two years as a cheerleader on my school's team. I'm also trying to get involved in more community based work this summer though because I feel like that where I'm lacking for my ECs. My top choices are U of T (social and behavioural health), Mcgill (population dynamics or health promotion stream), University of Washington (social and behavioural health) as well as UBC and SFU (as I'm from Vancouver). Would anyone be able to let me know if I would have a chance of getting into U of T, Mcgill or UW? I've been having severe anxiety about this since last year and need to feel like I can take a breath again. I feel like my grades and ECs are still pretty below average and am wondering if anyone has advice on how to make myself more competitive for these programs? Thanks in advance!
