PumpkinPie101 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) At 10:28 pm MST, I received my acceptance to U of A's MPH Epidemiology. This is after I got rejected by both UBC (last week) and U of T (this morning), so don't lose hope guys! In case anyone is curious, the expiry date is April 6th.

Domestic student finishing my final year at the University of Toronto! My undergraduate GPA at the time of application to U of A was 3.88 (3.97 with the removal of one course where I received a C due to an emergency before the final). Research: Not much – research assistant for 3 years, but in 2 education labs not related to my degree. I was a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholar for 3 months in Kenya a few years ago. I decided not to pursue a thesis, and don't have any publications. Other experience: I head a campus club focused on global health and economic development, have been tutoring inner-city children for 7 years, volunteer as a mental health crisis responder, and contributed to writing a competency-based Physiology course. References: PI of the two education labs, who both know me well. As you can see, most of my experiences involve children and education! I think my LOI was probably the strong point. I was actually in "Under Review/Decision: Pending" for a long time, and I submitted my application the day it was due.

MPH0921 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Excel725 said: What are your stats and experiences if you don't mind sharing? Hey I just completed my MSc this past year (4.0 gpa) and gained research experience through my MSc project, still have a publication pending. The first two years of my BSc weren’t that strong but made up for it in the last two years (gpa for these two years would be around 11.0/12.0). I only took one stats course during my BSc, grade A-. I have about 2 years of research experience at a hospital and worked/volunteered at a couple of different non-profits. Other than that I don’t have much public health experience, I’m not sure how competitive my application would be compared to some of the stats I’ve been seeing so far. Hope this helps.

nootnoot Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Does anyone have any insights on the stats of Western MPH admits? Also has anyone heard about the UoG Msc in population health (public health stream)? I’m considering applying but i feel like there’s not a ton of information online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
