Grad1515 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 As a followup to my last post, are we allowed to reject an offer after accepting? I have 2 days to accept my last offer and have not heard from UofT yet, so I really don't know what to do. I want to accept it as a backup, but UofT is my top choice and I don't want to miss out on it if I get in/ As a followup to my last post, are we allowed to reject an offer after accepting?

If you did then worst case you will lose your money but I think you can easily withdraw an accepted offer. It's funny because I just did this a few min ago! I had to withdraw from Waterloo's accepted offer, I called the school and then I was told to send them an email with some info. Universities are understanding as it happens and because all the acceptance timings vary so much ! Good luck! chipperchimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_stupido Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Congrats ! Why surprised? Can I ask what your GPA & experiences were? GPA: ~2.71 ~5 Years experience in a Clinical Research Setting (2 years as a student, worked in clinical trials the next three years) 2 Publications (maybe 7 conference abstracts) 2 Small Grants as the primary applicant Mainly my GPA has been a hindrance since I graduated from school in 2010. Pretty much knew it would kill whatever odds I had at getting into any Master's. I guess the requirements for acceptance might be slightly different for distance program.

Programs actually place a lot of emphasis on volunteer/work experience so that is a great bonus for someone who has a lower GPA. Your experiences sound great!

sjaktar Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi all, I got accepted by SFU, UBC and McMaster. I have not heard from Queens, Guelph, Alberta. Considering that I am an international student, I prefer SFU's Population Health Science Concentration with CEPH accreditation . But I am not sure how I will fund my studies. Can anyone tell me what options will I have to work or get scholarship? If I don't find funding for SFU then I will go for UBC which is offering partial entrance scholarship. Any advise will be welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eo92 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Helloo, Good news for those who applied to U of T. I think they have begun sending out their "recommendations for admissions" to the SGS. I just got an email for U of T (health promotion) that "I have been recommended for admission...At this stage this is a recommendation for admission, as a formal offer can only be made by the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies." So does this mean I am pretty much in? Has anyone heard of anyone getting rejected by the SGS? Good luck folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hello! I have been accepted into the MPH programs at both UVic and Waterloo (looking to do a distance program while continuing to work full-time). Does anyone have any input or feedback on these programs? UVic offers a thesis option, which is appealing, but Waterloo's courses seem to be more relevant to my interests (health promotion, communications, literacy) compared to UVic's Social Policy emphasis. UVic is also closer to home and seems like the more logical choice logistically, but I'm not sure if Waterloo's program is more prestigious and therefore worth the journey out to Ontario? UBC was my first choice but I did not get in, so I'm now struggling with this decision. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Congrats to everyone on the acceptances!
