For people who received an offer from Queen's MPH, does your status on the online application still say submitted (instead of an offer)? If we have until Apr. 1 to accept or decline, I'm a little concerned that it hasn't been updated yet online...

Mine says offer made under the status and I can view the decision as well. There's 9 business days to go, I would consider giving them a call by Monday if it hasn't updated.

Does anyone know if there is a fee, and how much it is, that we have to pay for Queens when accepting your offer? Incase I accept it now but hear back from another school and change my mind, just want to know how much $$ I'd potentially be losing?

Speaking of, how would we go about changing our mind and letting them know if that was to happen? Most programs are sending out offers in April it seems.

Nothing yet. Are you a domestic or international student? Seems like they sent our letters to the latter students first. 

I am a domestic student. I was just getting a little worried because I saw that last year some acceptances were much earlier. I hope we hear good news soon!

I'm not positive, but when I accepted my MSc at Western it didn't cost anything. I don't think accepting will cost any money.

mine too. It shows application submitted and the status of the documents are received. Did yours change?

I emailed Gerri and she said that the offer was sent on their end and it might take a couple of days for it to be updated on my end. I think we should be fine unless we still don't see it by the end of this week.

Yeah I really have no idea why it's taking so long.. I tried emailing them but got no reply.  I might have to commit to the MScPH program at McGill since its deadline is coming up lol.

Does anyone know anyone who got accepted into UofT's MPH Health Promotion program in the past? Do you know what is their criteria for selection and how competitive is the program?

I was just scanning the conversation and trying to get a sense of which schools have sent out offers (first round) and which haven't.  Anything to add to this summary?

Sent- Queens, McGill, UofT, Sask, UBC

Not sent- UVic, UofA, Waterloo, Lakehead, Brock, SFU

Thank you! I think UBC has started sending offers and nothing from SFU thus far

Thanks, I have edited to include these! 

[school4ever]

Should we create a "template" for reporting accepted/rejected with stats? 

Something to include: what school(s) applied to, undergrad subject/GPA, work/volunteer/research experience? 

As we're getting to the end of March and emails start rolling out it might get too busy and hard to follow without it

Not totally accurate for UofT. I would make the above change. I think decisions were only sent out for the Occupational and Environmental Health program and maybe also Indigenous Health at UofT. I don't think decisions have come out for their most popular programs, Epi and Health Promotion. (That post probably freaked out some people Lol) Someone above said decisions would be sent out for Health Promotion in mid-April.

True!! When I emailed Suzanne about decisions on UofT's MPH - Health Promotion, she said we are hoping for end of March but I doubt it, it will be likely earlier-April at least based on last year's timelines.

I emailed the DLSPH Admissions and they said decisions for health promotion stream will be sent out starting mid-April ?hopefully it ends up being sooner!

Can confirm. I got MPH OEH from UofT a while back.

University of Alberta have some feedback ready. I sent them an email, and they updated my profile with a decision in less than 24 hours. Rejection, though I expected it. Health Policy and Management program. Extremely competitive with minimal slots

Did they mention about any timeline of when they'll start sending emails with decisions?

Did you originally email them asking about your status? When did they update your portal? I emailed them about an orientation question and when they responded they gave me the email for the people who deal with orientation and said that decisions won’t come until early April. I wonder if this means they will start rolling out earlier…

I asked them specifically about the applications, when we are likely to receive feedback
