It is for Health promotion distance learning. I think we will start getting responses by mid to late March. I checked last year thread and maybe UoA sends invites to Health policy and then epidemiology then health promotion and global health but I may be wrong lol My application is finally under review ? Good luck!! 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?

GingerDwight Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 For anyone who applied to McMaster or Waterloo @Excel725 I sent an email to both of these programs asking for an update on when we can expect to hear back just because I've gotten some other offers from different programs and I wanted to know if I should ask for decision deadline extensions (I know all the supervisors personally so I don't want to accept and then let them down later) and they have both responded back to me this morning. Mac: Late this week - early next week decisions are going out. Waterloo: They have more than 500 applicants who met the minimum requirements (more than they usually have) so they said that this year will be delayed but they still expect decisions to be out by the end of March, latest. I hope this helps!!! coconuthead, gradca21, LindaZhou and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stats (GPA etc.) and experiences are you applying with if you don't mind me asking? No problem! My grades are on the lower side. Cumulative ave: 78%. 2 year average: 81%. Stats pre-req: 89%. ECs: 2 years of working at Psychological Services/mental health assistant at my university, 1.5 years as a pharmacy assistant at local pharmacy, Summer clinical research volunteer at local diabetes clinic, Summer research assistant at hospital, Summer working for a rural education project in China, project on T2D prevalence for immigrants coming to Canada. Don't have any publications. As a recent grad, it's really been hard finding public health related experience during the pandemic Top choice is UofT, but I heard they are GPA heavy. I would also love to go to Queen's (rival school hahah) but I'd be thankful if I got accepted anywhere. Hbu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
