FoodieMPH Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 1 minute ago, acran0715 said: I really wonder how many MSc applicants there were then... It’s just my assumption, but I think less because MSc degree has stricter requirements to apply in terms of what previous degree you should have. And you can apply into MPH even with an arts degree, so more people can apply. acran0715 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleZebra7 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hello Everyone, congratulations to those of you who have already received acceptances, your hard work has paid off! I have only applied to Brock as I applied to a public health masters program on a whim. Has anyone received acceptance from Brock for their MPH program? acran0715 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an unofficial acceptance this morning for the MSc Epidemiology (application is being forwarded to FGSR). This is after I contacted them and asked about when admission offers would be going out. They originally told me "in the coming weeks" so don't give up hope!! Congrats on your acceptance to Msc Epidemiology! I'm an international student and I applied to this program as well. However, I'm really worried and anxious about my application since I haven't heard any update yet. I asked them in the portal and they said that the review process is ongoing and I could expect a decision in April. I don't know whether this is a good sign or a bad sign. I contacted a supervisor earlier but he never responded to any of my emails. So I wonder if I could reach other professors at this stage or if I could take this application unsuccessful. And it would be appreciated if you could share your background with me for reference. It's ok if you don't want to do so. At last, I would like to say congratulation again!

Hello, yes reach out to professors if none have reached out to you. They don't accept you unless a supervisor has agreed to take you on. I had a couple approach me a fee weeks back but that's not everyone's experience. and thank you! I wish you the best of luck. (I'm also a domestic applicant if that changes anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audreyzz Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, purplegiraffe22 said: yay congrats!! can i ask what your stats are? no worries if not Thank you! I have a degree in Kinesiology. Worked in a couple research groups throughout my undergrad (part-time, full-time co-op, and volunteering in a mix of qualitative and quantitative-focused studies related to community health). I took many electives in health-related courses (family studies, early childhood development, health promotion, public health, health psychology, and also sexual health). Worked full-time in community outreach -focused NGO after graduation. I do not want to get into details about my CGPA as I think having relevant experiences and right intention are more important for this offer, as long as the minimum CGPA is met. Honestly, I am sharing this to provide a bit of context, but it is not a mean to make anyone in this forum (including myself) feel worse/better after comparison. It takes courage to apply to grad schools and this whole process is nerve wrecking as it is. Wishing everyone best of luck!
