I did! I was accepted yesterday. Have you heard back?

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.

Congratulations! I have not. When did you apply for the MSc program? I applied early January like the first week I think.

Does anyone know the class size for UBC's MSC in Occupational and Environmental Health?

All of UBC's graduate programs have admissions statistics that you can read here: https://www.grad.ubc.ca/prospective-students/graduate-degree-programs/master-of-science-occupational-environmental-hygiene.

It would appear that the class size is between 8-12 each year, out of 30-50 applicants.

Hello! 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!

That's good to know! Thanks so much!

Which stream did you apply to? The epi stream is sending out letters starting mid-April! 

How did you find out they're starting to send letters mid-April? I was hoping it would be sooner than that ?

I was accepted into UBC's MPH yesterday (March 11th). Still waiting to hear back from UofT, McGill, and McMaster!

 

I'm an Ontario resident, if that matters...? Idk. Deadline for my decision @ UBC is April 2nd.

I have a B.Sc.(Hons) in Chemistry from MUN. I did research in synthetic organic chemistry for 2 years and worked on developing a new polymer for coating biomedical implants. cGPA is 3.3, but 3.8 GPA across last 2 years of undergrad. 

I worked for Search & Rescue with the Coast Guard in BC for 4 summers throughout undergrad. Worked on natural disaster/emergency response projects in that role as well. I've been a clinical volunteer in a big hospital downtown Toronto for the past 3 years, taking additional med-related courses (X6, 4.0 GPA) on the side. Doing COVID screening in another large hospital now. Tons of experience in the trenches of customer service as well, mostly from bartending in the Toronto night-life industry (when the city isn't in lockdown lol). I'm 26 years old.

I emailed Mac and they said they're still going through applications. My application status was changed to 'complete' just yesterday even though I applied in early Jan.

I'm pretty sure the website says offers go out late March to June, so I'm not expecting to hear back anytime soon.

For UBC MPH applicants: Is anyone's status anything other than Submitted [if not accepted yet]? I'm not sure if it should say Under Review or anything like that.

I'm a Canadian applicant who applied to both US and Canadian programs this cycle - heard back from all US schools but still waiting on UBC and UT.

I'm tired of waiting, I just want to make a decision already ?
