I’ve seen people post that they got accepted to Western’s MPH... should I be worried that I haven’t heard anything from them? Hoping that doesn’t mean rejection

I haven’t heard anything from them either....

I’m also waiting to hear from them, I just saw one post of acceptance yesterday but I’m sure there are more people not on this forum. My application statues is still just “applied”. Hoping to hear something today. Good luck! Did you apply anywhere else? I applied to 6 program! The stress is real ?

Where did you hear that they had 800 applications? That’s so many compared to previous years!... Right?

I attended the webinar in the fall and they had said there that they typically receive 400 applications

I got waitlisted at McMaster! Received the email today

Yeah! I'm not sure if it ended up being around 800 or more, I have a mutual connection within the program faculty who gave me this rough number. They (as well as admin assistants from both Waterloo and UVic) let me know that application numbers this year have close to doubled previous years. They assume that because of the pandemic, suddenly everyone knows what public health is! (which sucks for those of us who are *hipsters* and liked public health before it was *cool*)

I have not heard from Western or Guelph either

Does anyone know what the etiquette and/or answer is for requesting a faster reply due to time constraints for another school's offer? I've got ~10 days to reply to SFU's offer, but want to know my standing with UBC (no reply yet) first. 

Also, good luck to everyone! For those who got rejections, it'll be ok- I got rejected to all my programs last year and it all worked out for the best. The universe will lead you where you need to be

i think im not accepted tbh because so many people got their acceptances and people know if they're on a wait list 

Hey, I haven't heard back from UBC MPH regarding acceptance/rejection yet.

Obviously I'm sure each school's process is a bit different, but I have a feeling hearing later might mean you're a second or third round pick or higher up on the waitlist and they're waiting to see how all the spots are filling up with the applicants they've already sent acceptance letters to. They don't want to have to send out too many emails and increase the work load for their administrative staff. Just a thought! Good luck!

Ya that's a good point. But since people knew their number for waitlist for SFU and i haven't heard anything it's starting to get me worried. It's just been radio silence. But there isn't anything I can do other than wait  Thanks for what you said tho it calmed my nerves a bit. Good luck to you too and I hope we hear back soon

800 applicants and 25 seats... gotta love a 3% acceptance rate if that’s the case!!!

Yes they weren't profs I was super close with I took one class with both of them, so I'm not too sure how strong those references were.
