Retook my stats course (first time I got a C, second time I got an A). Working at a clinic on and off for a couple of years. Volunteer at a hospital in first year. Research with two professors but neither has been published yet. A Habitat for Humanity trip to Alabama. I am currently working on a thesis. I think what really helped me was my letter of intent. Hey, you have amazing stats. Would it be possible for you to share your loi? honestly I have lost hope to get in this year since I can’t compete with all the amazing applicants. Thinking of some other masters program in canada. I’m a international dental graduate. Can anyone suggest me other non clinical options in my case.

Elise4 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 For people who have been accepted to McMaster MPH, how long did it take for you to get your official offer after the unofficial one? I got my unofficial offer yesterday (yay!) and am wondering when I can expect to get the official one. Also it seems like they're giving about a week from the official offer to make a decision? Can anyone confirm/deny this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was about a week from unofficial to official offer, then exactly one week to accept or reject the official offer:) Elise4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, the MSc program in Epi had an earlier deadline which is why they are getting offers right now. MPH applicants will probably still have to wait a few more weeks.

MPH0921 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 For those who are particularly interested in the MPH - Epi stream, in your opinion, do you think chances of finding a career within the field of epidemiology is higher when you complete a program that specifically specializes in that field like UofT (MPH - Epidemiology) for instance or would the MPH programs at Guelph or McMaster give you equal an equal chance as well, since they give you the opportunity to take a good amount of courses in Epi as well.

cheesecakelover Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 13 hours ago, Excel725 said: What are your stats and experiences? I'm graduating this upcoming June so I'm a new grad. BSc in neuroscience with a GPA of around 3.3-3.5 (low uggh) in last two years. I've been volunteering at a local hospital within several departments for about 6 years now (work isn't directly related to public health unfortunately). I started volunteering/working at the covid clinics since December but wasn't able to include this in my CV cause I had already handed in a few of my applications. Have also volunteered at an organization that works with children who have learning disabilities, and volunteered at my uni's med science lab where I worked with lab animals. In terms of work experience, I've just done an internship with a federal agency for 8 months as a lab tech. I have taken 3 stats courses with 90+ in all, so I'm really hoping this will serve as an advantage for my UofT and UofOttawa applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
