MPH2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So glad i found this thread! I have applying to a few MPH programs in Ontario because I live in Toronto and don't want to leave the province. I haven't heard back from any of them yet so I am still waiting! I applied to U of T epi stream Waterloo MPH - online Guelph MPH Queens MPH Can people who are currently in MPH programs or who got acceptances to any of these tell us their stats like gpa and experiences. My GPA is ok but I have alot of experience in research, published paper, and currently am working as a RA on a few epi projects. Goodluck to everyone! I know that uoft only looks at the last year in terms of gpa i know someone in the program and they said the average was around like 3.75 but it sounds like you have a lot of experience in the field so you should be more than okay even with a lower gpa also queens cut off is usually an 80 average (cumulative) and they focus much more on grades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay_Lynn Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Cima Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeakyboots Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 @Shay_Lynn You're right, it does seem like most people heard about acceptances and rejections by this time. This waiting is painful! Cima 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cima Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 @Squeakyboots, congrats, it seems you got an acceptance from McGill (MLIS). At least that is one acceptance from your own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_gradforum Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for that info! The wait continues...Best wishes to all fall applicants! 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 Grad15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Edited March 18, 2013 by UTH90 Grad15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
