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.

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?

as soon as anyone hears from U of T Health Promotion can they please post asap ? Seriously dying over here lol .. I think earliest we can expect to hear is very end of March though

Last year uoft sent out rejections around this time! and i believe that those who got in were asked to send official transcripts sometime later on 

goodluck!

Also last year they sent admission decisions by snail mail and their website gets updated much later so keep checking!

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 :(

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!
