sillybird Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 1 hour ago, clhMPH said: 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? We've got similar stories actually, cept I'm from ontario. Also did my undergrad at McGill, political science and international development though. In Canada it's only McGill and UofT. I was pretty insistent on going abroad for my masters so I applied to several schools in Europe (Imperial College London, UCL, Copenhagen, Lund). But the more I look at it, the smarter it seems to stick to McGill/UofT for exactly the same reasons you listed. Being more familiar with the system and challenging yourself off of an established springboard rather than starting from scratch. Not to mention the crazy financial strain of setting up in a foreign country. The north american programs also seem to be much more quantitative, and that's what I'm looking for. I guess we'll have to see what happens at crunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rntomph Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Waitlisted at UBC for the MPH/MSN program. It was the only program I applied to, so I'll be reapplying next year. The email I received stated that the waitlist will likely not be moving. About me: BScN with a 3.8/4 gpa, one year of experience as an RN in the hospital setting, volunteering in the community and at the children's hospital, solid references, no research/publications, and little public health work as a nurse. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 If anyone here is going to UAlberta, do you know if we are supposed to start enrolling in courses now? I received my official admission letter and it says that I am eligible to register as of April 6th, but I am not sure what that is referring to... if you go on bear tracks there is an option to enroll in Fall Term 2016 and Winter Term 2017 (not sure if we are supposed to be doing this now).

Alberta`s MPH program is the one of the oldest public health programs in Canada. They also have CEPH accreditation so, if you would like to work in the US after MPH then, it won`t be a problem for you. As they are offering the program since a long time, I feel that they have a wide range of courses to choose from along with well developed network of practicum sites.

Also has anyone else been placed on the waitlist for Guelph, I wish I knew how many people were on it and if it is even going to move (aka is it worth the hope) Not necessarily, maybe someone will reject their offer and you get their spot. And I still haven't heard back from Guelph ... they are sure taking their sweet time deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already accepted McGill's offer, so I won't be going there. McMaster's seems to be sending out the remainder of their rejection or waitlist letters today.
