colby11 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Have anyone heard back from the Epi Department at McGill?? According to this website, there are a couple of people who got rejected last week. I haven't heard from them yet and I'm starting to worry. I don't know if I'm in the not accepted/not rejected state is good or not. Do they email acceptances or rejections first?. Anyone else on the same boat?
-slu- Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Have you tried checking your status on Minerva? https://horizon.mcgill.ca/pban1/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin If your status still says "Ready for Review" then you should probably send them an e-mail to inquire.
colby11 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 My status says "Applications Processed and Under Review". I think I'll wait it out a little bit more. Is it normal that they take about 4 months to make their decisions?
venusandback Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Did you click on Fall 2013 under "Applications Processed and Under Review?" The link brings you to a new page with your application status.
colby11 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 According to the Results Board there are 3 people that have been rejected this past week and one waitlisted. I don't know if I should take the tardiness of my admission decision as a good sign or not.
-slu- Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I am one of the people who has already heard back. I got my e-mail almost a week ago! I think you should send an email or trying calling them. I hope it's good news for you!
colby11 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I'm sorry it wasn't positive for you. I called them on Monday and they said decisions have been made and they're supposed to be sent out this week. I can't tell you how many times a day I have been checking my email and Minerva for any updates. I really hope they're out soon. This is driving me crazy.
colby11 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I applied to both Msc and PhD programs. I'm getting my bachelors this May and from what Dr. Buckeridge told me they usually don't accept candidates right straight from undergrad, but he said I could try. I'm aiming for the Msc anyways, at least for now. Did they interview you for the PhD?
colby11 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I didn't apply to the MsPH program, because they only allow you to apply to two programs at a time. And yeah, i supposed they will send both decisions (Ms, PhD) at once. I think I will call them to inquire today. Did your potential faculty supervisor emailed you the decision or was it a more general email?
colby11 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 I called the Department of Epidemiology this morning and they say they're still processing decisions, but the student affairs person took my ID number and say my decision will be send to me within today or tomorrow. I don't know if I did the right thing in calling and requesting my decision. Does anyone think this can affect the decision?
Lin111 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Anyone else waiting on McGill Epidemiology? (MSc/MPH/PhD)?
