Thank you!!!? My last two years GPA is 3.9-4.0 (84%) and I have two major positions in a public health related field. One was being a wellness program assistant for individuals with mental health disorders and homelessness- this was a placement from my university. The other was being a health and safety officer in a dental clinic (paid, full-time). I also have research experience with a professor in a topic related to mental health. And I did some volunteering (health promotion with heart and stroke, clinic volunteer in a physio place). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes epi stream! - 3.2 cGPA / 4.0 last year - professional boxer, hospital/clinical volunteering, some university clubs, created an app that locates people carrying a Nalaxone kit to areas with high overdose rates, couple missions in Ghana!

What stats and experiences did you apply with if you don't mind sharing Thanks!! I'm a non-traditional applicant, I completed a Bachelor's in Environmental Studies (majoring in Urban Planning) at UW in 2019. I also graduated with a Diploma in GIS as well as a specialization in Urban Design. I did the co-op program there, so my academic record is a bit scattered, but my last 60-credits/all 300-400 level courses avg was roughly 85% (3.9/4.33 GPA?). My work experience is varied and mostly in policy. I currently work in municipal government as an urban planner (~1.5 years) in BC, focusing on housing, land use planning, and long range planning. Before that, in co-op I had some research experience in the provincial government on the topic of road safety (cumulatively ~1 year). Other than that, I spent one semester each as a map designer at a private company and a communications assistant at UW; part-time, I was a TA for an urban design undergrad course for one semester. I also volunteered with the LGBTQ+ services centre at UW for about three years, on and off between co-op semesters. My references were 2 supervisors in my current job, and 1 supervisor from my research position in the provincial government. This is my second time applying to MPH programs (I first applied in 2019). Although my references are all professional, they were very strong, which I find is more important than having lukewarm academic ones. I spent a lot of time on my LOI (2 months) and had it reviewed by multiple MPH alumni. I didn't really have much public health experience, but I am very interested in epidemiology. I found in my work that there is an interdisciplinary space between geography, planning, and public health that I am passionate in exploring - particularly through social epi. I hope this helps! Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting. Edited March 19, 2021 by anotherlurker tournesol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tournesol Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 i’m really sorry to hear about the rejections everyone ? i’m sure you’re all wonderful and worthy applicants and i really believe that whatever school you receive admission to and accept (either in this cycle or possibly in the future) will be an amazing fit for you and help you to do amazing things in the sphere of public health ❤️ gbabs, khfish9726, moonjar and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailee Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi All, I was accepted in UBC and SFU for my MPH and I am having a hard time deciding between the two programs as they are quite different! UBC is hard to decide on as they are still waiting for approval on their approved changes! I attended UBC in kelowna for my undergrad and really enjoyed it so I am leaning to UBC but I am also considering SFU! What are everyones thoughts on the two, is there one that carries a stronger program or reputation for their MPH? Anyone else in the same boat?

Yeah I'm holding out hope that I'll hear from U of T by April 15th. I'm debating between Columbia, UNC and BU. I'm leaning heavily towards Columbia at this point. Honestly Columbia was my top pick until I got my financial aid package two days ago (only loans)...not really excited about the prospect of being forever in debt. I just hope they hear my appeal!
