I have had a couple professors reach out to ask if I'd be interested in working with them (not sure if this is normal) so I'm hoping that's good news?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine told me some applicants from Canada have already got an offer. However, I asked the advisor this week and he said that the expected time of a decision would be April. I'm worried. acran0715 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw a few post on Reddit from people getting accepted to M.Sc Epidemiology! It might just be exceptional students though for very few offers. I'm applying to Global Health, and I hadn't heard anything yet. Best of luck to you though! Hopefully, you would hear soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to two professors prior to my application, and I still haven't heard from them even though we had great conversation, so it makes me nervous lol acran0715 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acran0715 Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hieveryone! Got an unofficial acceptance this morning (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!!

See what they say. You have to have a confirmed supervisor before you are accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check in with them again to see my application. I talked to both of them previously, and they seem to want me, but things might have gotten busy with them.

No, I have someone else as a supervisor. My supervisor and I are going to work on grants for funding in the fall. I have been in touch with another professor who is close with my supervisor. I have the option to research under this professor too if I wanted, but details will be discussed more later. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to expect. When I communicated with a prospective supervisor before application, she responded like "Go ahead and apply". Since it's almost end of April, so I am kind of worried. Although I am having another MPH offer from University of Saskatchewan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who your prospective supervisor is, but I reached out to several, and they also said the same. I didn't put their name down for my application. Instead, I was fortunate to meet my current supervisor and another supervisor (she is now on my thesis committee) through Zoom, which allowed us to know each other better. Because there are so many applicants and few supervisors, it can be challenging to write down the supervisor as you have to compete with other students who did the same. I prefer to speak with them, and it might be more meaningful compared to just write a name, but I hope you hear soon! Don't be discouraged because I hear that offers can go until June! Always happy to chat more if you want to, and congratulations on your offer from Saskatchewan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will receive a rejection email sooner or later as they have already sent admission offer letter to eligible candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
