Is there any Waterloo MPH group chat?

hey! Silent lurker here and accepted into the Waterloo MPH program. I haven't come across a group chat for the Waterloo MPH cohort but happy to start one so we can all connect since the program is mostly online.

Hi. 

I got an offer from Western on 9th April. The deadline to accept the offer is 15th May, so I am assuming they will be sending out more offers after tomorrow. 

The program seems well rounded but it's crazy expensive, so I am a little concerned with that aspect. My first choices were global health Alberta and McMaster, and Western next. I got a reject from Alberta and I am waiting to hear back from McMaster.  I will be accepting my western offer meanwhile. 

As per their recent email they said 

"Some of you might be questioning what the coming year will look like and that is a fair question.  At this time, we don’t have any concrete answers.  The only guarantee we can offer is that the MPH Program will begin in September in some format and all students, upon successful completion of all degree requirements, will graduate on time."

Hope this helps. Good luck !!

Congrats! Did they let you know you were on the waitlist previously via email & the place you are on the waitlist? 

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, they emailed on April 3rd:

The admissions process for the MPH program at SFU is highly competitive.  We admit a cohort of about 40 students and receive over 350 applications.  All aspects of your application were assessed by the MPH admissions committee and although we are unable to recommend you for a seat into the program at this time, you have been placed on the waiting list.

You will be contacted as soon as we are able to recommend you for a seat in the program, which can be as late as mid-August.  Please be sure to keep your contact information updated over the next few months, and contact us with any changes in this regard."

Thank you. 

Really hoping for a positive reply from them. I've been eagerly  waiting for weeks.

I haven’t received any info from SFU since I submitted my application. Does it mean that I’m highly likely rejected?

[Ahertz]

Anyone hear from U of T epi this week?

Hi,
I am a little late lol. I am also an incoming Brock MPH student and I was wondering if there is a facebook or messenger group for the upcoming class? Also do you happen to know how many they take each year?
 

Thank you

Once you accept your Western offer you are added to a Facebook group that is moderated by the program administrators where everyone introduces themselves and gets to know everyone else in the program!

Hi,

There is a Facebook group. Once you accept the offer, they will send you an invite with other instructions on your email. 

I haven't joined the group yet. Will probably do so in a day or two.

Does anyone know if UBC MPH’s waitlist has had any movement whatsoever? I remember seeing some posts on here saying they’ve declined UBC’s offer...surely they’d have some movement in the waitlist since then? I emailed UBC and they said there aren’t any new updates - so how would they have filled the places of those who declined admission? ?
