Anxiouscat Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I received my acceptance to Guelph this afternoon. I'm soo ecstatic because I really didn't think I would get in since my GPA isnt the best.. here is my profile in hopes it will give someone on here and future applicants some hope Graduated BSc. Biological Anthropology; GPA in last 2 years : 3.46 and no stats courses - I volunteered at a children's hospital emergency room for 2.5 years just to answer questions from people in the waiting room and provide some activities to the kids while they waited, so not really PH related. - was a research assistant in paleontology lab for 6 months - was research assistant at the children's hospital in the day surgery unit for 7 months - infection prevention and control education volunteer at the children's hospital for a few months - executive in a school club and student council for 2 years as well as a peer helper for a year. - I've been working as a Youth Worker for a little over a year since graduating in 2018 so most of my PH related experience is from this role, I also work at a retirement home but only as a Food Service Assistant and I managed to relate that to a nutrition and diet type of experience. - my LOI were from 2 anthro profs, one who wanted me to write the letter and then she proof read it. It was a really good way of overselling myself and im so grateful she was too lazy to write the letter herself lol. So if you ever get the chance to write your own reference letter, don't be scared to oversell and make yourself look really good. A really good tip for applying to Guelph is to read the FAQ section as there are some added tips on there as to what you can include in your LOI to make it stronger. I really believe that's part of the reason I got accepted. I'm still waiting to hear from UofA and Western. If you have any more questions, just ask Best of luck to everyone and congrats to everyone who got accepted!!

MPHBound2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hey everyone! I know most of us are preoccupied by admission decisions as well as this global health crisis. Though this is a very tough time for us, I know we are all very passionate about public/global health, and as such, I wanted to share this story. It certainly touched me. There is a family living in Jamaica who will be homeless by next week and needs food/medicine/supplies. The primary caregiver continues to battle with an aggressive breast cancer and needs any help. Can you imagine being homeless at this time? I definitely can't. Please donate whatever little you can as every little does add up. https://www.gofundme.com/f/breast-cancer-fighter-in-need?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 I truly wish all of you the very best during this time. We will get through it together. ❤ xttr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
