piccku Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi everyone. Do you know any forums/facebook groups/etc. where we can actually talk to current or past graduates of UBC MPH? I'd really like to talk to someone and ask tons of questions about the program... research... extra-curriculars... practicum... etc.. I am not from BC and my UBC friends don't seem to know much about it either. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdok Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm not sure anyone else here applied to the program, but I got into the Univeristy of Manitoba MPH this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linten Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 First time posting on this forum. I've applied to a slew of MPH programs for Fall 2012 and am finally starting to hear back. I received unofficial acceptance from Waterloo two weeks ago through a phone call. They said that the official letter can take weeks to arrive. This evening, I also received an acceptance email from McGill. The deadline to accept or reject McGill's offer is March 30. Since it was my first choice, I will be accepting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globule Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Hi ! I also got an email yesterday from McGill: accepted ! However, it said that the program was MSC-N (instead of MscPH) in public health and that the program was being changed and will be 60 credits in the future ( instead of 54) Today I got an email from UofT. They request me to send my official transcripts. My online status also changed to : Decision made. I guess it's a good sign... Any thoughts on that ?

Epi2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Globule, I have also received an email from U of T today requesting official transcripts. I am inclined to believe that this is a good sign...maybe we've passed the first screening? I'm not really sure. Hopefully someone could shed some light on what this means! I'm getting pretty anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misgengen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 ^both for epi at UofT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globule Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 @ Misgengen : Yes EPI for me. What let me think that it's positive is the fact that on my online application, my status changed to ''decision made'' and according to the legend this mean that: ''A decision has been reached for your application. You will receive a notification via mail with the details of the decision'' Also, I can't remember where I saw that, but I'm pretty sure that I read on UoT website that they only request official transcripts if we are accepted and that they base their decision on the scanned trancripts we sent them. At the same time, it seems so early to have results compare to last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misgengen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 yes I read that somewhere too, I applied to health promo stream tho. Surprised they made a decision for epi so early, what I've been reading is that they don't make decision til late april last yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGBI88 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hey guys, I'm planning on applying to the UBC MPH program this upcoming year and wanted to know for those of you who have been accepted, what kind of gpas did you have (all 300/400 level)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epi2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 @ misgengen Epi for me as well. My status has also changed to "decision made" on my online application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! My GPA was not good... I had decent cGPA.. but my 300/400 level gpa was pretty low. I think I had just the cut off - 75% average... So actually I was quite surprised.. but I know I had really strong references, research, and extra-curriculars.

Rainbowbrite Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hey guys, I'm planning on applying to the UBC MPH program this upcoming year and wanted to know for those of you who have been accepted, what kind of gpas did you have (all 300/400 level)? Thanks! I applied to UBC and was rejected with the equivalent of a 3.9/4 GPA in my 300/400 level classes. I know I had really strong reference letters, but not so strong extra curriculars (no research but I do a lot of "front line" health care volunteering). I guess my ECs must have done me in, I'm very disappointed sgosain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ginni, I got mail from Associate Dean dated 2nd march giving link about fee &living expenses, it also students have to join two weeks intensive course Foundation in Public Health (PUBH 804) starting from 18th August. They are sending Hard Copy by post. I am waiting for that. I rechecked with them whether the mail from CGSR was offer letter or just a intimation and reply was, that was Offer Letter. I got no updates from SFU. I would finish my clinical internship on 31st March. I am a fresher, have no experience what so ever, that may be the reason UBC didn't send me invitation. I am afraid SFU may not consider me for admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks Dentist. I just got an email now from sfu that I've be waitlisted, but that they'll get back to me soon on my admission status. I pray I eventually get off the waitlist and into the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
