I feel so far behind compared to so many people posting on here - I did *not* realize these programs were as crazy competitive as they are when I applied! omg i could not relate more. when i applied in the fall i thought I was safe applying to MPH programs and after reading other applicants stats i've ruled myself out ? tournesol, LavenderLover and gradca21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if that order applies to both the MPH and MSc at U of A? Has anyone else applied to a MSc at U of A and heard back? Hi I have applied to the MSc Epidemiology program. My status is “Under Review” for almost a month now. Fingers crossed! healthfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heythere313 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 hi guys! I just came across this thread. I have applied to the MPH programs at McMaster and UofT and was wondering if anyone had heard back from them yet? EmpowerMPH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got overall gpa 85+/100 in undergrad. As I said, I also had a master in applied stats. I've been working as a research assistant in a BC health institute for 3 years (with 4 publications).

knh9 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) 22 hours ago, MPH_16 said: Wondering if any U of A Health Promo acceptances have been part-time or part-time distance students? I applied as a domestic part-time and distance learning student and have had my application under review since early January. Does anyone know if part-time and/or distance students have found out later than full-time students in the past? For context, I am have been working full-time in a public health research position for 3 years and have 3 years of academic research experience before this, hold a 3.8/4.0 GPA, worked frontline and volunteered for 3 years in a public health position, have published academic work in an international, peer-reviewed journal, and have had work presented at an international conference, provincial conference, and at a Canadian Public Health Association webinar. Hi, I received acceptance yesterday to part-time distance health promotion. Seems like it takes a few days for all the acceptances to come out, good luck to you!!

Feel free to dm me or just post here. Hi, I've been thinking to accept the offer! Just one question- Unlike other schools (having specific streams such as epidemiology), it seems that UBC MPH integrates all streams. So I'm just wondering if I can focus on one theme specifically (perhaps by choosing courses I'm interested in?) I'm quite interested in epidemiology and want to pursue a career in it/ health data analysis. Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they don't have particular branches, I would say yes, you can definitely focus your program towards a particular sub-field. UBC is particularly strong on the epi side of things so that might suit you quite well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven’t seen others post about this, but I also got accepted to Brock MA (Applied Health Sciences - Community Health stream) and Carleton MSc in Health (STP), although these are probably less competitive? Waiting to hear back from McMaster, UBC, and UofT (health promo) like others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
