verity Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sighs End of April for U of T? That is so late I have to respond to Queens U by April 14... but U of T is my first option What shall I do ? I am in the same situation. I dont know what to do because what if I reject Queen's offer yet UofT rejects/waitlists...Kind of annoyed. I'm going to call Queen's and see what they say about possibly withholding my decision for a week or two. I hate how inconsistent all schools are with deadlines!!!
an_89 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sighs End of April for U of T? That is so late I have to respond to Queens U by April 14... but U of T is my first option What shall I do ? I was in a similar position with Waterloo. I had two weeks to accept Waterloo and haven't heard from U of T as of yet. I accepted Waterloo and will wait and see what happens with U of T... if they offer me funding then I might consider it but I'm really split given i'm working FT currently.
plumbunnie Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sighs End of April for U of T? That is so late I have to respond to Queens U by April 14... but U of T is my first option What shall I do ? I'm in the same situation x_x but April 7 is my deadline! The rep was rather abrupt with me, but I'm sure everyone's stressed out right now She didn't say everyone would only find out at the end of April--as the posters above have noted--but she simply said basically all decisions should have been made by then and not so much in May-onwards So there's still some hope for earlier responses.. they're just taking much longer to start reviewing apps...
bed0uin Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 For anyone waiting on McMaster's HRM program (I applied to the Population and Public Health stream) - I got an e-mail from them earlier today, saying that I have been recommended to the School of Graduate Studies for an offer. (Thank GOD! I was getting antsy!) An official offer has yet to arrive, pending funding arrangements and a suitable supervisor. Sooooo - it's coming! Good luck to everyone else waiting.
myujin Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Anyone know the chances of getting in off the waitlist for UBC? I certainly wouldn't give up hope. I've heard that pre-med students have been known to apply (and accept) the UBC MPH as a back-up plan, and then release their seats when they've been accepted to UBC Med in early summer. Can't quite remember where I was told this, but I wonder if someone asked a similar question to the program rep at the UBC Population and Public Health open house I attended last winter. Also UBC is one of the earliest schools in Canada to offer acceptances to their MPH program, and as a result require a response before many schools have sent out their offers. I'd imagine this would occasionally account for a few more seats being released, as they later receive offers to a preferred program. I'm not sure the policies on accepting offers then declining at a later date, but I guess it happens. I can see both sides of the coin, but would hope at least there is open communication with the school on the matter if an offer is accepted "tentatively". Anyway, don't give up hope PacificPH! All the best! pacificPH 1

Mymph Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Did someone hear about the second round of UVIC? Edited March 31, 2014 by Mymph
MHA/MPH Sumit india Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Did someone hear about the second round of UVIC? what do you mean second round? Is first round already released.... I was told by coordinator that results will be out by end of april.
Mymph Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 what do you mean second round? Is first round already released.... I was told by coordinator that results will be out by end of april. Many persons already got acceptance from UVIC.
ahnoom Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 You may hear from UofT before the end up April via email, but may have to wait until the end of April for the official offer via post. At least, that's the case for the MPH in Community Nutrition. I was told, via email, that I was being recommended for admission to that program, and to email them back with my intentions. I emailed back that I would accept their offer, and they replied that I would receive the official offer, in the mail, by the end of April. I don't know how the other specializations or programs at UofT work, but that's how they've done things in the MPH Community Nutrition program. Oh ! well firstly congrats ! that is awesome you made it I applied to MPH- Epi stream .. the wait is quite agitating lol
ahnoom Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I am in the same situation. I dont know what to do because what if I reject Queen's offer yet UofT rejects/waitlists...Kind of annoyed. I'm going to call Queen's and see what they say about possibly withholding my decision for a week or two. I hate how inconsistent all schools are with deadlines!!! Yes it is really annoying considering they were the first school with the earliest deadline and not the earlier ones to respond. I suggest call u of t and not queens to check your status I am going to wait until end of next week and call up the u of t admissions...
ahnoom Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'm in the same situation x_x but April 7 is my deadline!

Fingers crossed Thanks for the clarification!

I accepted Waterloo and will wait and see what happens with U of T... if they offer me funding then I might consider it but I'm really split given i'm working FT currently. I believe you can also continue your MPH at u of t part-time... I have also heard great things for Waterloo for people who are working. I am currently working at a health unit and one of the research analysts is a Waterloo (MPH) Grad

hopefuleh Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I don't think anyone has heard from Guelph yet but people on this forum have been accepted to Lakehead but they have said they do rolling admissions there so you could find out at any point, not in waves
mh6 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Did anyone get acceptance from Lakehead or Guelph for MPH yet? I am so worried.My cummulative GPA is 2.86 and for last 2 years its 3.33.

Does anyone think I have chance of getting In????? still got a great shot! i'm still waiting to hear back also. most univ seem to have send out a "first wave" of invites. and most will send out a "second wave" of invites pretty soon hopefully.

Mymph Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I have received an email from UVIC asking me were do I plan to live while I enrolled in the program. I live in Vancouver . I am a bit surprised by their question. So do I have to answer I will move to Victoria or not. what do you think I should answer Edited March 31, 2014 by Mymph
