I'm tired of waiting, I just want to make a decision already ? I hear you my friend, I have the same experience ! I applied for US, UK and Canadian Programs , I heard from US & UK universities but not for the Canadian ones (I got accepted at Stanford, Oxford and Imperial College) but still didn't hear from any Canadian Uni.

May I ask which programs have you applied to in the US and are they online or in-person? MPH2021Canada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though the US have many great schools, I'd love to go to a Canadian school since the tuition is wayyyy cheaper) I believe that they are giving both in-person and online options !

Thanks a lot For US I applied for MSc Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford, Master of Public Health Johns Hopkins .. both are full time onsite and I got accepted by both. Regarding UK , MPH Imperial College & MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology from University of Oxford, again both are full time onsite and I've been accepted . I just feel some bitterness that I didn't receive any reply yet from Canadian Universities, I think they should reconsider the whole process either the selecting criteria or the timelines itself, specially with the new era we are living at. medicallyrelevant and bbj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxla Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey, has anyone heard from Brock recently regarding when decisions will come out? A couple weeks ago I was told portals would be updated 4 weeks from the deadline, which would be today, but i'm just wondering if anyone heard anything different?

Yup, that response I got was straight from the program coordinator who said decision will be then so it looks like we're gonna have to wait another 2 weeks at the maximum unfortunately....sucks because Brock is the only school I applied to so the wait is torturous 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! Hi, I'm also wondering if you've had your practicum yet. Do you know if we need to find supervisor and agency ourselves or is it kind of designated? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are responsible for finding a supervisor, which I see as a freedom! You can choose to complete your practicum wherever you'd like (within reason). There is a practicum director and lots of support staff to help steer you along the way though and I find them very helpful. Hope that helps!
