styrofoamboots Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi all, I received an email from UBC and was recommended for admission to their MPH program. Frankly, I was surprised by how soon I have to notify them - I'm still awaiting the results for 5 other schools (SFU, Alberta, UofT, Queen's and Waterloo) - but UBC is one of my top choices. Best of luck to everyone else! Hope the waiting period ends soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPHbound Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi everyone, I also received an email from UBC MPH yesterday offering admission. Was surprised how soon it came and how quickly we have to decide! I am also waiting on some other programs but I believe I am going to accept as it is my top choice.

MPHbound Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 MPHbound and styrofoamboots, u mind sharing your gpa stats and experience/research etc? Hi mh6. My GPA was a 91% (last 10 courses) and I have been volunteering with Vancouver Coastal Health for the last 3 years. My work experience involved working in community health at local community centres and working at a private health care center involved with integrative medicine. Not that much research aside from some research papers in my undergrad which focused on preventative medicine and reducing cardiovascular disease. I applied last year and didn't get in. This year I think I focused on some specific goals that I hope to accomplish through the program and improved my resume in these areas. My undergrad was in Kinesiology. Hope that helps!

mh6 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 memorial's website mentions 6 to 8 weeks after feb 1 deadline. so decisions are march 15 onwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiner Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Got my lakehead mph offer for flex-time online last week! The acceptance deadline is very soon and I don't think I'll hear from my top choice by then.... I wonder if anyone knows whether schools will extend deadlines and if so, under what circumstance? It's frustrating that the timelines don't match up between schools... But happy I got an offer nonetheless:) Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaketheshock Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have read in the topics from other years that it is a good sign if UVic asks for an official transcript, so what I'm wondering is ... If you already go to UVic and there is a second transcript slot that says "UVic Transcript" on top of the "unofficial transcript" slot, is that the same thing? Does anyone know?

shaketheshock Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I should probably clarify, I'm talking about under my "submitted application" details, and the other "unofficial transcript" already says "University of Victoria". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrofoamboots Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 MPHbound and styrofoamboots, u mind sharing your gpa stats and experience/research etc? My GPA in the final 2 years was also 91%. I did my undergrad in psychology but also minored in sociology. I have about 2 years of research experience in program planning and evaluation. One research project involved assessing "at risk" children's cognitive and social skills as a function of childcare accessibility and quality of care. Outside of research, I currently mentor children and youth and do my best to promote their physical and mental health. I've heard some pretty scary stuff about bullying and also witnessed the effects of physical inactivity, so this job has pushed me to create and implement various anti-bullying activities and obesity prevention strategies in my workplace. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhiMPH Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Dear Fellow Forumers, If you are applying for more than one program and both of them have different deadlines. Is it possible to accept one offer earlier and then maybe accept the 2nd offer and decline the previous one.? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyH Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi all- congratulations to those who have received admission and all the best to everyone waiting! My usask status has changed to "decision made: dept recommended- conditional". Anyone know what this means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmMPH Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi all- congratulations to those who have received admission and all the best to everyone waiting! My usask status has changed to "decision made: dept recommended- conditional". Anyone know what this means? Congratulations, I am sure that means you are recommended for admissions, but it is conditional, based on you submitting you final transcript and finishing up your courses.
