mpherrr Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 According to the results search section, someone was offered an acceptance to McGill epi yesterday the wait is nerve-wrecking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_gradforum Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Is there anyone who got accepted to U of T's Health Promotion MPH that will be rejecting the offer? I am on the wait list, and feel like most people who get into U of T are likely accepting? I was accepted and am likely declining because I got a great offer from SFU - I am still deciding, but very likely to head out West because they have a much more international focus in their MPH. I am waiting for my letter in the mail. Edited April 9, 2013 by E_gradforum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhellothere Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) For those who are wondering about U of T's upcoming open house, there is an option to contact the host of the event on the event website here: http://www.eventbrite.ca/event/5934948591# Couldn't hurt to ask if you're interested in attending to see if you can be invited in spite of your applications still being waitlisted?

I am waiting for my letter in the mail. Hi there, thanks for letting me know! Yes, one of my friends last year got into both U of T and SFU, and ended up going to SFU because they gave her money (always a deciding factor!) and U of T actually told her she might be happier at another school that had more global health connections? She was pretty confused about it .. I still don't know why they told her that lol. They said she had a lot of 'undergrad prep' (she had done 2 research assignments, 1 in India and 1 in Africa re: maternal health), and they said that their Global Health department is still growing..

Becks1 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while on this thread and thought I'd pipe in. I was rejected from Waterloo late last week via email (and my status was also updated on Quest), and just got the admission email this afternoon from UVic! My status on their website still says 'file forwarded to department', as it has since probably mid last week, and my deadline to accept is Apr 19th. I'm still waiting to hear back from UofA (health promotion online program) and Lakehead. Does anyone have friends or connections already in the UVic MPH program that I could possibly email and ask a few questions? I applied to the Social Policy stream with Indigenous Health as my second choice. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to change concentrations after starting. . . as I'm tempted to go with Indigenous Health now. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting on their decision. My online status still says forwarded: interim review. I dont understand the whole process at all. Looks like they dont make their decision at once. Please do you have an idea of their class size for MPH program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee87 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hello everyone, I just found this forum! I have been accepted into the UVic MPH program (first choice - social policy, second choice - indigenous people's health). Anyone else attending UVic? I have a BSc in Microbiology, an MSc in Biochemistry and I am on the board of a charity/NGO that implements public health education in Uganda. I have a few questions for those who are attending UVic... are you planning on working full time during the degree? Are you in the full time or part time degree option? I was working in a temp position (maternity leave) instructing for the past year and it is finishing in another month. I am unsure of what employment to pursue now and how heavy the school work load will be. Does anyone have any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I would just get may acceptance tomorrow...Ur chance of working full time depends on your status. If you are an international student, you cannot work off-campus until u are 6months old in your program. After the 6 months, you may now work off-campus but you cannot work more than 20 hours in a week, until you graduate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks1 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Bee87, I may be attending UVic depending on whether I am accepted into UofA or Lakehead. I hope to hear from them before the UVic deadline of Apr 19th. If I decide on UVic, I will be doing the part time program and plan to start with one course per semester and see how that goes. I don't work, but do have two young school aged kids and a household to run, plus I do various volunteer activities at their school and elsewhere. I didn't get an answer from UVic, but I had asked the other schools what the workload would be, and was told average time spent would be between 12 and 20 hours per week per course, obviously depending on a number of factors.

Carolyn_958 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Has anyone received an official email from U of T (Health Promotion) indicating that they are waitlisted? I know that I'm waitlisted only because I personally emailed the Program Director and she responded and told me.. But she also said that I would be receiving an email 'early this week' with further details.. And it's now Wednesday and no email yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
