MPH Canada Fall 2016

[Achillies_MPH]

Do anyone have an idea about when University of Alberta is going to send the decisions for MPH Epidemiology concentration ?

I think it has already started giving out decisions long back ?

[mphcandidate1]

Has anyone heard back from University of Saskatchewan. Mine still says "complete under review"

Thanks!

Hi folks,

first time poster...

I got accepted into UWaterloo via email a few weeks ago. Still waiting on USask. 

Congratulations on those who received acceptance! Good luck to those who are still waiting!

Have you heard back from Usask?

I've declined my offer from Lakehead today, so that should open up 1 more spot.

For those asking about U of Sask, they send an email first and then update the PAWS website afterwards.

Did you hear back from them already? If yes, when did you hear back ad also when did you apply?

Thanks!

I heard from USask 2 weeks ago, and I submitted all my documents the day before their deadline. I declined my offer today, so this will open up one more spot as well!

Hi, I heard from USask in mid-March. I applied in December, but I'm not sure if when you applied factors in much to their decision making process.

What are your choices/rankings for the schools you applied to?

Oh really? So what school do you intend going?

[Munazza]

Who got admission offer from Uni sask can please share their GPA ??

as m still waiting to hear back from them 

 

[chocolate5]

My GPA for the last 2 years was 3.78.

I intend on going to either McGill or UofT. I've already received an offer from McGill, and I am waiting on UofT as I believe they will only be releasing their decisions after mid April. 

[CandyGrape]

Has anyone heard back from University of Guelph?

Also, If I still haven't heard anything back from Queen's, does that mean I am rejected? I heard that schools send out rejection email last?

Please help!

Thanks!

Is there any particular reason why so few people seem to have applied to McGill's MScPH (or at least not talk too much about it)? Is it not readily considered a good school for public health?

There were a number of people in this thread that applied. 

I applied and will probably be going there. Ive accepted the offer, but am still waiting on UofT.

I've spoken to several students in the program who all had good things to say. The great thing about McGill's program is that it is a MSc. You take the same classes as Msc Epi students the first year, so basically the program is a MPH with a specialization in Epi. I think this is beneficial because it opens up job opportunities in both Public Health and epidemiology, where as for a MPH, I think one would be more limited to finding jobs that are strictly Public Health related. 

That's just my opinion...I also applied to McMaster's and Queen's (MPH) and although Queen's seems like they have a great program that is very established, I really think that the programs at UofT and McGill will open up more doors in the future because you could apply to both public health and epi.

I also really like math and I know McGill's program emphasizes quantitative skills.

Awesome, great feedback! Two questions for you, how are you choosing between UofT and McGill? And what was your bachelors background?

I did my undergrad at McGill. My major was in Ecological Determinants of Health (environment), and my minor was in Life Sciences.

I live in Montreal so McGill makes a lot more sense financially. I also wouldn't need to adjust to much since I know how administrative/academic stuff works there, I would have a TA position, and I'd applied to a scholarship that only applies for studies in Quebec..so I feel like I could really make the most of the two years and get involved with things related to the program, etc.. If I move to Toronto i'll have to spend time adjusting and will be starting from scratch...However, their program is well-recognized and very established so it's a tough decision (if I get accepted there).

Where have you applied?
