I'm wondering if they've started accepting people from them yet. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Idk of any yet, I’m on the UBC MPH waitlist and haven’t heard of anyone being taken off the waitlist yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia pie Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I've been a silent lurker this entire time and was one of the ones who got rejected from UofA on April 20. Just received admission to the University of Saskatchewan by email! For their distance program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around a 3.9 GPA in a BSc at Western, various extracurriculars (your typical undergrad exec stuff - VP of 3 clubs to be exact), 2 publications (not first author), 0 presentations, 0 "real-life" public health experience. Did research for about 2 years looking at relevant stuff though (determinants of health and chronic disease epidemiology). Additionally, I also submitted GRE results (around 132 V and 140 Q I think) but they really don't take that into consideration so I wouldn't worry too much about writing it unless you're planning to go to the US. Let me know if you have any other questions Thanks so much for sharing, I appreciate it! Is that GPA your final year GPA or your cumulative GPA? Do you have any advice on how to craft a good letter of intent for this program and specifically this stream, and who did you use as references if you don't mind me asking? Also, do you have a linkedin profile (you don't have to share if you feel uncomfortable to do so). Edited April 27, 2020 by Excel725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xttr Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to let you all know that I recently declined my U of A Health Promotion Distance Ed offer.

m_ella Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi all, I have been a lurker for a while now and found out that I am on the waitlist for UofA Epidemiology! Would anyone be willing to share when their deadline to accept was for UofA? Or has anyone heard anything about the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an offer for UofA epi on March 23rd but declined it and I think the deadline to accept was 2 weeks later? I can't see it anymore bc i declined and it wasn't stated in the offer letter. m_ella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you have a linkedin profile (you don't have to share if you feel uncomfortable to do so). Aha wait I just realized: I got 162V and 170Q, not that it makes any difference though tbh xd The GPA was all of my 3rd and 4th year credits at the time since they look at your last 5.0 senior credits (3rd and 4th year courses). If they included 1st and 2nd year courses, it probably would've been higher. Just a note, if you don't have enough senior credits to fill up the 5.0 they'll take it from a 1st or 2nd year course (provided you only have to fill like 1 or 2). I think NovaTerra gave pretty good advice about the letter of intent. Address any shortcomings in your academic life and how you tackled them, talk about key experiences in your CV (preferably oriented towards epi or stats, determinants of health, data analysis, etc.). For my references, I used my undergrad research project supervisor and a prof who's taught 3 of my senior classes (class sizes were small so we've interacted quite a bit). Haha I don't have a linkedin unfortunately ? Although, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make one soon.
