  1. Hey all! Incoming BC MPH student here. I was wanting to do my practicum outside of BC, and was looking for a bit of advice. Some context on my background- I have worked in multiple health authorities and non-profits for about 5 years now. I have quite a bit of administrative, technical, and project management experience that ranges from health administration to health informatics to quality & patient safety, data analysis, business analysis....etc. Because of this, I'd really like to not do a practicum in BC- as I already have connections to local agencies and a lot of the roles I have done have had almost equivalent responsibility (if not more) than some of the practicum roles I've seen offered by my university in the past. And so, I thought that my next step would be to try and leave the province in hopes of landing a practicum with a federal agency, or at least get a role with an agency in another province so I can see how things are like there. Ideally, I'd like to go to Ontario. For those of you who have gone this route or have landed a federal agency practicum- any advice? What was your process like? How did you reach out to these agencies? Thanks!!
  2. Thank you!! My letter said 14 days from the date of the offer. So my due date would have been May 31st/June 1st (not sure if they meant to count today as well). I was number 1 on the waitlist, so I think it will be moving along as this month progresses! I hope you get a Canadian school offer, all the best!
  3. SFU waitlist has been activated! I have accepted my offer :') After 7 long years of undergrad, lots of tears and lots of failures- I'm going to be a master of something!!! For anyone reading this - I got into an MPH program with a cumulative GPA of 2.89, stats grades of C- and B- respectively (2nd and 3rd year stats). But I kept at it- boosted my experience, expanded my network, conveyed my circumstances in my essay, and persevered. I am not a health care professional, nor am I a non-traditional student. But I still did it. I know forums like these really can make people feel as if not having a perfect GPA will kill their application. But do NOT underestimate the power of your experiences. Your efforts will pay off one day!
  4. Hey! I am number 1 on the waitlist. I haven't heard anything yet, and people have mentioned that they've declined their SFU offers. I'm assuming that they are doing what some other universities are doing and waiting for a later specific date to activate the waitlist. I think that we can expect to hear back in May or June, depending on waitlist position!
  5. Just popping into say that I feel the pain! I'm number 1 on the waitlist for SFU and am eagerly awaiting some news. SFU let us know of our waitlist ranking without being prompted, maybe you could email Queens and ask for your position? Good luck!! ❤️
  6. Hey! Yes, I didn't email them at all. They just sent it to me! My application status on the portal has not changed. I hope you get some news soon! I'd wager that emails are just coming out in waves Good luck!!
  7. Oh gosh I hope!!! Knowing that I'm at the top of the waitlist eases my worries honestly. Fingers crossed for good news! I hope you got an offer from the program you wanted
  8. It was from fhs_mph! Although, it could just be a mailing list for applicants and not an actual inquiry line. As far as I know, fhs grads is the go-to email for inquiries! Good luck to you too
  9. Hey! I received an email from the MPH admissions office today (I haven't emailed them at all before). They let me know I was in position 1 (out of 33 waitlist spots), and asked me to respond to their email if I'd like to be kept on the waitlist!
  10. Anyone who has an offer for SFU....if you could decline, that would be great :') I'm number 1 on the waitlist and SFU was the only school I applied to!!! I will treat you to copious amounts of desserts and coffee if you do <3 (Congrats to everyone who has gotten offers!!!! <3 <3 <3 )
