UofT MPH health promotion people, I emailed Suzanne (program director) and she said they have made decisions and first wave of acceptance will go out next week (Easter week). Good luck everyone!!

Thank you for letting us know! This is so nerve wracking, hoping we all hear some good news!

Still waiting on UBC, UofT, and McMaster! UBC is especially nerve-wracking, since I see so many people already have their decisions. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Fingers crossed for you! What does it say for your status for McMaster?

Still waiting for McMaster and UofT. Anyone heard from McMaster ? My status still says “submitted.” Does anyone’s say any differently? 

Someone on Reddit got an acceptance today! Offers should be coming out now for McMaster

I got rejected from McMaster, but they offered me a chance to apply for the Graduate Diploma in Community and Public Health (GDCPH) program lol; I received the letter in my spam folder so be sure to check it

Got a rejection too unfortunately, but I think I might consider applying to their GDCPH if an MPH doesn’t work out this year

That’s so interesting, because I haven’t heard of this program before, but I went online to do some digging and found an interesting justification for why they created this graduate certificate.

”Since inception of the MPH in 2015 at McMaster we have steadily received an increasing number of applications that far exceeded our enrolment capacity. From 2016-2020 there have been hundreds of applications per year for 35 seats. Most of whom met the competitive requirements. Amidst the pandemic, for the 2021-2022 academic year, the MPH received over 600 applications for 35 seats. Thus, there is clearly demand from students for public health training that we are not currently able to fulfill. The GDCPH may appeal to a subgroup of these applicants due to its practice-oriented nature and its flexibility.

For the 2021-2022 academic year, the GDCE has invited all qualified MPH applicants with a B+ average or above with complete applications (n=219), and 10 of them received the GDCE offer. »

So basically it is a shorter, more practical certificate they offer to people to close the gap between offer and demand fir public health training. I found it interesting.

Definitely sounds like a good option.

Based on the above-mentioned description it seems like you were among their competitive applicants.

Please don’t be too hard on yourself for not getting accepted, based on these statistics it seems like they have 5% acceptance rate and have to reject a lot of highly qualified applicants. It is not on you.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind comment. I was definitely spiralling after I got the result and this is what I needed to hear. Just got to remain positive!  :)
 

I also agree with you that the GDCPH seems like a good option, and might be a good fit for my interests!
