For anyone that has applied to uwaterloo, I just spoke with Michelle (MPH coordinator) and she said they have just sent some rejections and admissions and will continue to send in rounds. She said that the program has 40 spots and they will not be making anymore space. The waiting game should end before the month of April. OMG. I cannot wait that long. She told me last week that they might be making more spots, she also told me that all rejections had already been made and that everyone else was on an unofficial wait list...guess they switched some things up....I'm so impatient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically got 600 applicants this year. They keep telling different people different things. Me too, I am so anxious. Hoping for the best though.

I just don't understand why it is so hard to give everyone one same answer instead of different answers to confuse everyone. I am very frustrated at their approach and extremely tired. If schools like Western, McGill, SFU, Queens, Mcmaster can do well. (time-wise).. what is waterloo not doing right? GingerDwight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewwerd Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I just got a rejection email from UBC. But here's the thing: months ago I was accepted. I got an informal email from the program director, then I got an official PDF letter from the school accepting me into the program. I even had a zoom call with the program director to discuss the program and me coming to UBC. I've sent my transcripts in the mail. Everything was squared away. Then today I receive this mass-email, not personalized, penned to all the applicants, saying I was rejected. Please tell me others got this? And this is a huge mistake? I'm freaking out. I emailed them back but it's a holiday. crustbox3000 and moonjar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for Michelle. Please update us. Thank you. I called Michelle and it took 3 tries to get a hold of her, which was somewhat frustrating. She seemed agitated when she was explaining to me that they have been contacted regarding the long wait a lot. She didn't provide much information either. She stated that there were more applications than what they were expecting, but they have gone through all of them and will be sending them this month out using rolling admissions. However, she also said a lot of those who got invites have not responded to the offer and we just need to be patient, but she was understanding of the frustration. I asked about my file in particular and she told me if it was any other year, I would be offered a spot first round but they will not be creating more spots this year and to keep an eye on my Quest account. I'm tired of waiting and will most likely accept my Guelph offer, which is disappointing considering Waterloo was my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the "middle" period where we weren't in the first round but weren't rejected. I know that people are waiting for as much information as possible but some people are seriously putting off decisions and it affects so many other people.

Not even in the places where they did their practicums? Also how many friends are these that did the MPH? Is your friend working in the MPH field now? If so, is the job atmosphere and pay enough to justify the expense? They had internship in uni only...but were not given further employment and practicum was unpaid...I would say keep this as your last option...Yes as somebody mentioned you meet wide range of people for networking but that also depend on you like how active your are etc etc actual course is just 8 months super short compressed and 4 months practicum(Unpaid) so you can imagine Rome was not built in a day but they say they can??.......overall not worth spending so much on this......instead go for clinical research it will give you almost same job as this would get you after spending 40k dollars....choices are always yours..best of luck.

Yeah, I agree as well. It’s hard to figure everything out when everything with Waterloo is so uncertain, especially since in my opinion, it is one of the most affordable programs.
