I'm having trouble deciding between McGill (have been accepted), UofT and Queen's if I also get accepted there. What made you choose Queen's over McGill?

I have also applied to McMaster and Guelph and am waiting to hear back (have an interview at Mac tomorrow for MSc ehealth). I am not a big math person, and McGill's courses emphasized statistics and epidemiology a lot more. I like how Queen's is well-rounded with a wide variety of courses. Goodluck!
damsel Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 So glad I found this forum. Reading about the progress of others helps with the wait! I applied to U of T, U of Saskatchewan and Simon Fraser University. The wait is killing me as I haven't heard back from any of them yet. Fingers crossed! I'm hoping for good news soon!
doc_911 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Another email from SFU says the tentative date for decisions would be mid to late march.
mphopeful94 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) I got an email saying I've been recommended for acceptance for SFU yesterday! But I didn't hear back from Queen's, but others on this forum have already got their acceptances. I'm assuming this means schools are sending out early acceptances right now? (or i just didn't get into Queen's) Edited March 11, 2016 by mphopeful94

I'm a fourth year Biomedical Science undergrad from University of Guelph, applying for epi programs next year. I included the schools & statuses below. My stats are a 2 year GPA of about ~3.71, experience in academic epidemiology (undergraduate thesis in population medicine), work experience in public health epi (position was health data analyst), and good reference letters (coordinator of Guelph's MPH program and a medical officer of health). However, I haven't been published yet and haven't presented at any major conferences, which I'm worried about. Toronto's MPH (epi stream) is my top choice, but judging from last year's forums I'm not expecting to hear until late april or early may, which sucks Any other epi applicants in here?? I'm getting antsy waiting to hear back. Good luck everyone! Toronto: Under Review Western: had interview on Feb 29th, still waiting to hear back but I'm not optimistic (they wanted me to have OGS funding...) Ottawa: Under Review Guelph: my prof has agreed to work with me again Hey.. I too applied to U of T epi program. My application still says the status is under review. Did you hear anything?

No I'm still under review too! I'm not expecting to hear anything until at least april 15th, like it says on the DLSPH website. In past years students were hearing back as late as the end of May...I've read that your status on the SGS website never actually changes from "under review," you'll only know that you're in when they email you! Hope that helps, good luck
emph Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Recommended for admission into SFU's MPH program yesterday!
Mila19 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @emph Congratulations on your acceptance into SFU? Do you mind me asking you when you applied and were you offered a scholarship to SFU?
Mila19 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @MPHopeful Hey congratulations to you too! When did you apply and were you offered a scholarship?

Mcanmph91 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Long time lurker here, but first post! Congratulations to everyone who've gotten acceptances, and to us still waiting, I'm sure we'll be hearing back soon so don't lose hope! Anw, @MPHopeful @mphopeful94, just wondering which stream your SFU acceptances from and if the acceptance came from the Grad Admissions or from the specific stream itself. Thanks! Edited March 11, 2016 by Mcanmph91
emph Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @Mila19 Thank you! It's a fantastic program, but I will likely be declining the spot for UBC or U of T (if I get in) I submitted my application to SFU's MPH program (Population Health Science concentration) about a week before the deadline on Feb 1st. I wasn't provided any scholarship information with the email, but from my understanding very few newly admitted MPH students receive scholarships or funding, since it is a professional (not research) program.
Gssl Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Hello, Has anyone of you received official letter, directly from the Graduate Studies Department of U of S? Thanks!
gank2994 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I have been accepted to Queens MPH I was wondering if you guys know when approximately other schools get back to us. I have until April 1 to respond to Queens. Thanks!

The supervisor is supposed to help you out with funding, right? Just curious. ?

No I didn't but one contacted me for a skype interview because our research interests were very compatible and I mentioned in my letter of intent that I liked her work. However she seemed pretty bummed that I didn't already have funding, even though I could still apply for an OGS during the first semester of my epi degree. I'm not super optimistic though, it seemed to be a pretty big deal for her. I'm still waiting to hear back, I don't know when that will be but I'll let you know!

Actually I had some prior discussion for an ongoing project with a Prof. She asked me list her as my potential supervisor in SOP. Although the projects she discussed were funded, but we never really talked about the funding thing or stipend. And I didn't hear from the university yet. Edited March 14, 2016 by Riya11

No indication as to who my supervisor will be yet, maybe that will come with the formal offer, the email said that should come in ~24 hours. I'll let you know what happens!
ithappens Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Anyone hear from Queen's Epi M.Sc? Edited March 14, 2016 by ithappens shinebright 1
toronto123 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Got an offer to the MPH program at Queens! I was wondering whether anyone received the "formal letter of admission" yet. Is it sent by mail?
AfifaM Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Hi everyone! I got an offer from UBC's MPH program 2 weeks ago (I just discovered this chat). I also applied to UofT's Health Promotion program but I'm highly considering UBC. Did anyone else hear back from UBC? Reply here if you did!

If you got an email from Gerri, you'll get an email from Queen's School of Graduate Studies soon, where you respond to their offer online. I don't believe they're sending out mail.
doc_911 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 hey everybody, SFU has just given out admission decisions . Check your status now people!!. Sadly for me, I cudnt make it through. But I guess most of you might.. SO congrats to all those
Achillies_MPH Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I too was rejected for SFU`s MPH population health concentration. Good luck to everyone who applied to SFU! BTW, How about Saskatchewan`s MPH program vs. McGill`s MSc PH? Which one is good? Any advice Edited March 16, 2016 by Achillies_MPH
