@SpiritedAway mine still says under review, although I am not expecting an update until May from Lakehead

@schoolmph yes! Email came in just after 5pm EST telling me to check my GSMS portal!

Certainly! I have a BSc in Kinesiology and an BSc in Nursing as well as a Disability Management certification. GPA in my accelerated nursing program which was 19 months long was a 3.9/4.0 but I feel like they may have had to take one of the summer courses I did prior to nursing school into consideration so it would be more like somewhere between 3.8-3.9 for the final two years. I have worked as a Public Health Nurse for 2 years, and I have previous experience in a sports injury environment. In my personal statement I spoke about how I started the Kinesiology society at my university, worked with an LGBTQ+ alliance team on my campus as well as with mental health initiatives such as Bell Lets Talk, and currently run the Wellness Committee for my team within Public Health. I do not have any research experience but a lot of my experience is within the field such as doing epi reports for our medical officer of health and creating documents and interventions for our community partners, so I really focused on that and spoke to what my long-term goal would be if admitted to the program which is focusing on health literacy. I had 3 references, all from managers who I work with in Public Health. Because my nursing school profs are all nurses they were still dealing with the pandemic and were not actually teaching so it was hard for me to obtain a recent reference in that area but my managers have seen a lot of what I have accomplished in the public health sector so they were able to speak to my dedication and learning abilities in that area. Good luck everyone! Good news will be coming your way - I can feel it!

Posted on the other forum but in case anyone was looking, I just received my offer to UofA for HPro Part-time distance!

It's official! Just received my offer to UofA HPro!

That is okay! It could be based on when you applied or they could be going down a list, hang in there!! I am sure good news will come both of our ways.

Trying to remain calm but my portal just updated for UofA with an "Offer response due date"! MPH-HPro part-time Distance. I saw that this happened to someone last year and they got in....must remain calm until an official offer is received but OMG

Thanks! Yes, BScN and BScKin, I feel like you could never be sure, I have heard of people rejected with 4.0 and 5 years in the field, it is always a guessing game! Hoping for the best for us all

I have a feeling it will be tomorrow or Thursday as well! Fingers crossed. I know they have not started sending them out yet but I cannot help but to be anxious that it will be bad news.

Wondering for those who are still under review/in pre-screening, when you click to view your application details if a GSMS ID number shows? I had one pop up the other day and I don't recall if it was there last week. Unsure if it is just wishful thinking on my end or if it is actually a change.

Under review for over a month now - HPro Part-time distance

Gosh I hope sooner @schoolmph I have had my application submitted since November 1st and it has been under review for over a month at this point, I am at the point of waiting fatigue where I am starting to mentally prepare to re-apply in the fall ?

Congrats!! Seems like they did Health Policy first and now Epi. I am waiting on HPro, maybe that will be next week lol

Congrats! Looks like health policy went out first this year. Hoping HPro is next week...

Still under review for Part-time distance MPH-HPro
