Curlygrrl Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Has anyone heard from Dalla Lana School of Public Health? Specifically interested in the Social Science and Health Doctoral Stream. Just curious if anyone has heard anything or has any information to share?
stars7 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Hello! I am actually waiting to hear from them too. Even though I have accepted that it might just be hopeless, but still waiting. I applied to the masters program in health promotion. Anyone heard from them yet?
ckwbnrn Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hey! I've also applied to the MPH Health promotion program, and am still waiting to hear back! My application status is "Under Review" and I go a little bit more insane each day I wait. Hopefully we hear soon!
stars7 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Hi! Yes, that 'under review' status is killing me too, although I'd rather see that than a rejection. I am not sure when they will let people know, because I don't remember if I read anything about when they will start letting people know. I hope that its sometime soon, so that we just know. Good luck!
Curlygrrl Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 When I was accepted a few years back we got a mass e-mail notifying of our acceptance by Michael Goodstadt (director of HP) in the first or second week of April . I remember it being rather late- I had other offers that were letting me know if I don't accept their offers soon I will lose them. UofT doesn't seem to care that they put students through the ringer- looking back I should have seen this as a sign of the things to come.
stars7 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Wow! So close to first or second week of April..they are really taking their sweet time. But I found that most schools in Ontario are taking a long time. Most of my programs are either saying - no decision yet or under review. It just increase bp everytime I see that (lol). Good luck to everyone! And I hope its good news!
rnath Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hi, I'm waiting to hear back from DLSPH's Social Science and Health Doctoral stream as well. I contacted them earlier in March and they said that they planned on mailing the decisions in mid-March, but I haven't received anything yet. Did you receive an interview?

jcandy Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Called U of T Dalla Lana today, they have sent out all the rejection letters. If you don't get one it means you are likely on a waiting list or a list of people they don't want to reject just yet, as acceptances have also been sent out. So more waiting around just to be rejected at a later time. Good luck everyone. Hi, I'm waiting to hear back from DLSPH's Social Science and Health Doctoral stream as well.

stars7 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Thank you so much for the info. Was this for epi or health promotion? Thanks.

jcandy Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) All PhD programs Thank you so much for the info. Was this for epi or health promotion? Thanks. Edited April 12, 2011 by jcandy
punishster Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Can't speak for the doctoral program, but the acceptances for Master's (epi) are out. Good luck everyone!
stars7 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 If only we knew whether health promotion is out or not? Can't speak for the doctoral program, but the acceptances for Master's (epi) are out. Good luck everyone!
jcandy Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Don't fret, apparently the social and behavioural sciences is the only department not to have finished their acceptances (Health Promotion Masters comes under that department I think). I If only we knew whether health promotion is out or not?
stars7 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Phew! Thank you. Did you also apply to health promotion?
jcandy Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah seriously, although waiting still sucks. I applied for the PhD in behavioural sciences, or whatever its called. Phew! Thank you. Did you also apply to health promotion?
lat52 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 rumour has it that the reason the PhD letters are delayed is because the department is shorting out funding, i.e., funding has been cut and they are contacting profs to see who has funding to help out students, to then determine how many people they can support / accept
jcandy Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 sounds about right..in any case, decisions will be out in a week. rumour has it that the reason the PhD letters are delayed is because the department is shorting out funding, i.e., funding has been cut and they are contacting profs to see who has funding to help out students, to then determine how many people they can support / accept
SeeKay Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I assume everyone is still waiting like me?? Yep, the waiting game is terrible but I'm staying positive and thinking that no rejection letter is better than getting one. I havent heard anything back regarding the Professional Option in Occupational & Environmental Health My status on SGS still says Under Review.
jcandy Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 the top ranked candidates have been notified. Everyone else is just waiting around.
lat52 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 By email or letter mail? the top ranked candidates have been notified. Everyone else is just waiting around.
lat52 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Also, for which stream or both? Health & Behavioural Science or Social Science & Health?
jcandy Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Don't know, but I would guess email. In terms of stream, this is from the department that houses both streams, I can never remember the name. Also, for which stream or both? Health & Behavioural Science or Social Science & Health?
lat52 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 That was the vaguest response ever lol Did YOU get accepted? Or did you hear from someone else who applied that got accepted? And you aren't sure which stream? Don't know, but I would guess email. In terms of stream, this is from the department that houses both streams, I can never remember the name.
lat52 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Accepted via email May 4th (May 6th via regular mail) YAY!!!!!!! Fingers crossed for the rest of you
