lv27 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Has anyone heard back from UWO for Epi? I also was contacted by a prof to discuss a potential project. No firm acceptance from the department though. It seems like they are just starting to go through the applications, so I wouldn't lose hope. Let us know if you hear anything as well.

catchsameh Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Congratulations! I'm a guelph grad, and I've talked to Dr. Papadopoulos several times about the program. He is a really nice man if you have further questions. Guelph's program is only a couple years old and they only have 20 spots, so its a nice small program that is accredited. The program is a combination of arts and science, and its connected to the Ontario Veterinary College which is great for foodborne illnesses, zoonosis, infectious disease, etc etc. Its a very general program in the first year, and you get to pick your electives in second year based on what your interested in. You can also complete the program earlier if you take 4 courses for a couple terms and 1 during practicum. He said that for practicum usually 75% are paid positions, and 25% are volunteer positions usually while sometimes the volunteer ones give you better experience. My partner is a Masters student in Epi at Guelph and he has taken a few courses that the MPH students are required to take. The profs have all been great for him! Its definitely not an MPH/ grad factory! I may be biased but Guelph is a beautiful university town, and a lovely place to live. Everyone is very friendly, and tries very hard to help you succeed. If you have any more questions, I would love to answer them. Dear Guelph graduate, Do you know how is the selection process ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guelphbiomed Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Dear Guelph graduate, Do you know how is the selection process ???? I am not on the admission committee, therefore I cannot give you an accurate answer on how they select people. I know that the letter of intent is very important, you need to have a B+ average in your last two years (sometimes they accept B ), and experience in public health is important. They are probably just taking a while because you have transcripts from a university outside of Canada. You really need to contact the graduate secretary or Dr. Papadopoulos for more information about your application status. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for your reply, My concern is the GPA since i have the undergraduate degree from Egypt and another degree from the states i am confused about calculating GPA, i may not approaching the B+(but close to) on my undergraduate but i did an epidemiology certificate from the USA with 4GPA so i dont know if they are strict about B+ , plus i have 15 years of experience in disease surveillance and outbreak response. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhoomika Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 In my limited knowledge on the topic, I believe it means you are most likely in. From what I understand, the department first recommends its selected students to the graduate program of the university, who then looks over your student records to ensure you meet their criteria, and unless there something unusual missing, you are in. thanksss alot...it makes my day....

MPH_Mtl Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all! I applied to and was accepted by McGill in the MPH program on April 11th. I'm still waiting on the final approval from GPS (Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). The long wait time apparently has to do with the new online application system. I was told that I should recieve final word this week and that I would have a new deposti date, as it was orignally May 15th. Anyone else attending McGill? Congrats to all who were offered admission!

healthnuts Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi everyone, This question is for any current UofT MPH students (preferably health promo). This is the only active forum and hopefully someone will see this! What is the workload like? I've been looking at timetables and it seems that there will only be about 9 hours of class in 1st semester. Is it similar to undergrad with the amount of studying outside the classroom? The reason I ask is ultimately because I want to get a job while at school and I'm worried I won't have time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
