verity Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Congrats on all the offers! Just wondering, what were the deadlines for each uni to respond to their offer? For Queen's it was this past Monday. I am unsure about the acceptance deadlines for the other 2 as they are stated in the official offer letters that are being mailed out (havent received them yet).

InProcess Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Anyone taking the MPH program at Waterloo?? Just heard back from them saying I got in! I was wondering if anyone would be able to help with a question I have. I wanted to stay back another year in my undergrad and take research courses. Does anyone know whether Waterloo allows the continuation of undergrad degrees while also doing the MPH program? Since the waterloo program is a distance ed, I would be able to do both if neither of the institutions had an objection to it. I'm going to call Waterloo to find out tomorrow, but if anyone has any information, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR123 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hey guys! I've been reading this forum for a while. I just got accepted into Queen's Master of Public Health today! I also applied to U of A's Global Health program and I haven't heard back from them yet. And I also applied to McMaster's Master of Science - Global Health program (but that comes out later in May). I'm thinking of accepting Queen's! Maybe we should start a facebook group or something? Congrats to everyone that got acceptances!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunnerGrad Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Anyone interested in a general UofT MPH facebook group? The community nutrition program is so small (10 people) that it would be nice to network with individuals in other specializations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmph1 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I would be interested-does anyone know how many Epidemiology students there are? (And also how many applicants?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajambo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Anyone interested in a general UofT MPH facebook group? The community nutrition program is so small (10 people) that it would be nice to network with individuals in other specializations. Hey RunnerGrad! Congrats on your acceptance Having a general MPH group is a great idea especially since many of our first year courses will be shared. It'd be great to learn more about the different MPH specializations at UofT too. For all accepted U of T MPHers (OEH, Nutrition, HP, Epi etc.) for Fall 2014: please join https://www.facebook.com/groups/266420353529631/ Edited April 17, 2014 by jajambo ncrtr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikapika Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've been accepted to UVic MPH and USask MPH. And I chose the MPH program @ UVic. Anyone else accepted the UVic offer? I am still seeing many people waiting to get a response from UVic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCMPH2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Anyone who is on a wait list for SFU Population Health or USask, I will be declining offers soon. Congrats to everyone who got in! I see a lot of people super excited about the UofT Epi program and it is clearly many people's first choice. I didn't really consider UofT for moving and financial reasons so never really looked into it. Is the Epi program there really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really like to know when they plan on releasing responses for wait list and rejections ... I heard back from Queen's yesterday! I got accepted, and I have until April 30th to make my decision!

MHA/MPH Sumit india Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 hey friends, I have to share a good news. I am selected by my second most desired program- Masters of health administration in Dalhousie university. My first choice was UBC's MHA program but couldnt get in. I will request you guys to give me a feed back about Dalhousie as university and Halifax as a place to live, as I am an international student (from India). Is it too cool to survive or job opportunities? I would also like to ask how should I contact faculty members to be considered for Funding or scholarship, as I do not have any word from their side (grad coorinator says wait till you hear from us). The differential fee for international students is too high to be affordable, but this program is my only option, so I wanna join any way. Any piece of advice will be very valuable. thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed0uin Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks ahnoom and MPHepi for sharing! Awesome stats guys! Congrats once again. Unfortunately, didn't make the cut. I thought I was competitive... but maybe not competitive enough. Strong GPA, espeech in my last year. I have experimental research experience, strong statistics background, spoke at 2 confrences about my research/might be publishing my paper in a prestigious journal. I was a science student, but not health sci. Guess it really makes a difference to UofT. Glad McMaster looked beyond that. Bah, guess everything happens for a reason. Anywho - Congratulations to everyone who got in and good luck to everyone waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphbill Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Does this mean that anyone who hasn't received an e-mail from U of T for Epi is most likely rejected? Darn, congrats to those who got an email though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
