It seems like only a very few people in this forum applied to SFU. :(

 

I applied to SFU Global Health stream, and I have yet to hear anything from them. I'm getting sooo anxious because it says on their website that students should hear back by as early as March 15th. 

 

Looking back on the 2012 MPH topic, it seems like most people already had their acceptance/rejection letters by now!

Same here, applied to SFU social inequities & Health stream, no response yet! I am especially worried because at least one person on this forum was already accepted earlier this month...hope we hear from them this coming week!

I dont think SFU gives early admission. The person said that he was accepted on 15th February. I have tried to find out from SFU but they haven't sent any offer at all. Also, they dont send acceptance letter, they will only tell you that the department has recommended you for admission, and they will send the offer letter in few weeks time.  May be the guy that had offer was for spring semester. So we are all in the same boat, no offer has been sent out for fall semester.

I also got the same reply from SFU! they said they should be sending out offers sometime this month but it does seem like a lot of people around this time last year so shouldn't be too long now

Hi all,

 

I am 'the guy' (actually, the gal) that posted about getting accepted to SFU's program - MPH Global Health stream.  I was accepted on February 15 for the fall term 2013- just to confirm it was not for the spring semester.  My case may be different because I was offered an entrance scholarship - and if it makes a difference I submitted my application before the (earlier) Jan 15 deadline.  It sounds like my admission was out of the ordinary - I am sure you will all hear back soon! 

 

Best of luck to everyone

Actually the deadline was February 1, not January 15. Unless you mean deadline for entrance scholarship.

How nice of you to resolve this "puzzle!" And Congrats to you! Your stats in your later post look great- I can see how you got yours that early!  :) I also applied by Jan 15th, so I am even mooooore worried :(! I have a few disadvantages- advanced age, only clinical experience (Diploma RN- in 4 countries in Africa & N. America) plus 4 years community/faith-based voluntary work with a health related component, no publications/ research experience, not so great references (2 out of 3 are non-academic, been out of school for a long time), but great GPA, just completing my BSN expecting cGPA at least 3.8/4.0 and last year 4.0/4.0. Its the only application I made, my favourite program. Will wait for now...Thanks a lot!
