hangrypanda Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Didn’t see a thread for McMaster’s MSc in Global Health program so I decided to make one! Would love to chat with other applicants while we wait for mid-May. Zain96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globalguRl Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 @hangrypanda I also applied to Western's MPH, but said if I am not offered a spot in that program I am interested in being considered for the Global Health Systems program.

hangrypanda Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) @FTZ123 Are you sure you have the right program? This program doesn’t have interviews and applicants won’t hear back until Mid-May. Edited March 7, 2021 by hangrypanda Zain96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest anyone will hear is late April and I've heard that late April decisions only come out for international applicants. Domestic applicants will still need to wait until May.

jowilson Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Thank you to whoever started this! GPA: 11.1 (McMaster Scale) Submitted: January 23, 2021 Would anyone like to chat about/share their experience or extracurriculars? This program is so competitive, really nervous! hangrypanda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangrypanda Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) @jowilson I love your username! Is it inspired by your actual name or is it Grey's Anatomy inspired? I'm super nervous as well because the MSc is my top choice + a competitive program. I have professional experience in research labs at my university and community healthcare settings. My application highlighted my experience at two healthcare clinics, the research positions I've held at two labs, and my senior-year research project which is related to global health.

jowilson Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) @hangrypanda haha thank you!! it's not my actual name, it's definitely Grey's anatomy inspired. I've gone through very similar stuff as her which is why she is my absolute favourite character on that show. it's also my top choice, good luck to the both of us. wow, that's amazing!!! sounds like you're definitely a strong candidate for the program. I also have experience in a few research labs, I've worked at an academic health sciences centre in Toronto for 5 years and have published in the area (more so within newcomer and refugee health) and have presented at several conferences (which I tried to highlight in the CV and personal statement).

hangrypanda Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) @jowilson I really hope you're applying for the thesis route given all your awesome research experience! Publishing and presenting???? That's huge! If you're applying to the course route, which field of study did you apply for (e.g. global health management)? Edit: I applied course route btw Edited April 1, 2021 by hangrypanda jowilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowilson Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) @hangrypanda thank you so much!!! I decided to go with course-based and I applied for global health: disease burden, challenges and changes. what about you - did you apply for thesis or course-based and what field of study?

hangrypanda Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 @jowilson Nice! That one sounds very interesting. Though, you're the first person I've met who applied for that specialization. Most people I've met applied for Globalization and Equity or Global Health Management. I chose Implementing Innovations on a Global Scale because I enjoy research and development and social innovation. Good luck to us both! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to chat about. jowilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowilson Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 @hangrypanda that sounds really interesting as well - learning how to implement interventions on a global scale will be so important, especially because of covid-19. good luck and keep in touch! hoping we hear back soon. hangrypanda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAmanda Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi! Does our chosen specialization effect our application in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the program's website, no, it does not. However, I believe they said a strong application will demonstrate an interest in your chosen specialization and that you have studied and/or done things related to the specialization.
