Cima Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have emailed the department of Public Health in SFU to know when else we should expect our admission decision since we were told to expect the admission decision in their website by March 15th but March 15th has gone-by now. I hope they respond to me soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterserin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hello Tulle, I received a letter from Ottawa in the mail that said I was on the wait list for the MSc Epidemiology, however it has not been updated online yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epi_curious Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 hi guys, i noticed that offers from uottawa epi (msc) went out already - rejections at least were posted, but has anyone been accepted?? hopefully i wasn't forgotten :/ I haven't heard from Ottawa yet either -- they told me that I would hear within the next 2 weeks though. Maybe not having been rejected or wait-listed means good news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epi_curious Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Do most schools send rejections before they send acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn_958 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) For anyone who applied to U of T for Health Promotion, this is what Charlotte Lombardo at U of T told me when I submitted my application in January: "We will send out initial offers of interest via email in late March for the first round and mid-April for the second round, this would then be confirmed by an official offer of admissions in the form of a letter from the School of Graduate Studies." She also said: " Around the mid-April timeline all applicants would be informed of their status, in terms of unsuccessful, waiting list or offer of admission." So I would think it shouldn't be too much longer ! Though I guess if we aren't accepted or rejected in the first round, it could be a little longer Edited March 19, 2013 by Carolyn_958 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Do most schools send rejections before they send acceptances? I think uoft does but thats probably because they have such a large applicant pool! but i believe most schools send acceptances/rejections around the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean University of Western Ontario - and I am not sure what their program is like - but it is a very good university. I don't know anything about the M in Health Informatics...

walterserin Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I received an email today from U of A saying they recommended to be accepted to the program (epidemiology specialization) and they gave me until April 5th to accept. Best of luck to everyone, I am sure people will hear from them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturia Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Has anyone heard from UoA or SFU yet? I received a letter from UAlberta today (I applied to the MPH in Epi). The letter was sent via email, as an attachment, and stated that there were a very high number of applicants this year, so they're sending these letters out now and when they've received responses to them, they'll start sending offers to people on the waiting list. I don't know if this would apply to any streams other than Epi though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to everyone, I am sure people will hear from them soon. As I mentioned above (looks like we posted at about the same time!), I received the same letter and I am really surprised by how close the deadline to accept the offer is. I wonder if they're always that soon? Hopefully other schools will send acceptances/rejections within the next two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! i also received the same e-mail this afternoon from UofA (epi) and have till april 5th to accept. I am trying to decide between UofA and UBC any advice from anyone who has experience with these schools or the program would be really appreciated. goodluck everyone!

Cima Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Congrats to all that got acceptance from U of A, am happy for you all. I haven't heard any thing from schools that I applied to SFU, UVIC, and UNBC. I pray i get acceptance in all, especially SFU which is my first pick!
