munawm Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 just emailed Guelph program assistant. Apparently all the acceptances have been mailed out and waitlist people notified. The rejection letter are sent out in the end. according to the lady they only had 25 spots this year. Better luck next time I guess! Congrats to everyone who was accepted:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperchimp Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I just got an email that I am on the wait list for UofT Epi. So I expect others will be informed of this soon as well. Hopefully, this will calm some nerves as people accept and decline offers. Congrats to everyone who got in to their programs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapini Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I also just got a waitlist email from UofT epi- It's the only place I applied so heres hoping it's a short list! Congrats to everyone who got in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmatt Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I still haven't receive any notification from the University of Alberta (Health Promotion, distance ). I emailed again and Shona said that my file is still being reviewed by the admissions committee. Is this just a polite way of telling me that my rejection is on it's way? It seems quite late for an acceptance and there was no mention of a waitlist or anything? Is it just false hope at this point or is there any chance I could still be accepted? Anyone else still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonHe Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I sent an email yesterday to the program director, Dr. Fran Scott, to acquire more info for international students who are on the waitlist. But I received her auto-reply immediately, which notified me that she would be out of country and email access until May 3. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezismael Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I got accepted into a university in Europe and now I may not go because of their high tuition fees and due to the fact that my government (I'm from Mexico) likes giving hell to people who want to keep preparing themselves and help people somehow. It's heartbreaking that after so much effort sometimes dream don't come true. Sorry if I'm venting, I'm just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked for the national department of health as a researcher, had a public health internship overseas, and worked for Statistics Canada in data analysis, published 2 papers with my professor in the health science department where I was named one of the authors, and have gone to Africa 3 times for rural housing outreach projects. 3.9 GPA.

So you were notified about being wait listed for health promotion? How do you know that your application lacks research experience? I thought they don't discuss individual applications over the phone. Edited April 26, 2016 by ash15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achillies_MPH Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I have called to DLSPH. They said that it`s a rolling based admissions and we can expect the decision till Mid June for MPH Epi. applicants. I think number of students they accommodate for MPH Epi. is high. So, every year usually how many students do they accept for MPH Epi. program ? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
