MPH Canada Fall 2017

[Dead_account]

Just wanted to add that I got a recommendation for admission into UofT Epidemiology on Friday!  (This was right before the UTMail outage for UofT students)  

I'm actually so excited and surprised that I was accepted.   I was only able to apply to 2 MPHs due to circumstances at the time and since I was already rejected from McMaster I didn't have much hope left for UofT.  Miracles do happen.

Good luck to the rest!

I'm still waiting for uvic... anyone else in the same boat? 

Me too. I emailed them last week and she said they've sent out some offers but are continuing to review applications. And hopefully early May they will everyone know.

Just curious if anyone has received a rejection from Queen's yet? or have they just sent out acceptances so far?

Ah fingers crossed!

Didn't hear back from U of T - no rejection, no acceptance. Anyone on the same situation? 

My application still says 'under review'.

I had until tomorrow (May 1, 4pm) to accept the uvic offer. I'd imagine they send out new offers shortly after the deadline passes. Good luck

Hi! I am still waiting on UVIC too. I emailed them and they said they are still reviewing applications and could take until early May.. I cant believe I submitted my app almost 5 months ago! So slow.

Did you apply anywhere else? I got accept to London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, MscPH.

Congrats on your acceptance to the London school!!!!

I just checked. Still "under review".  I'm guessing it'll update when official acceptances come from the university! 

Stats as in GPA?  I think it was around 3.8 last I checked

Yes, thanks for sharing! 

I still didn't get any emails from them. I just finished my 4 yrs honours BHSc with a 3.7 CGPA, 3.9 GPA. 3 publications, was co-chair of workshop and conferences for CSEB (the epidemiology and biostats society in canada), volunteer researcher at the hospital (CHEO), got a scholarship to conduct a research last year, finished my honours research project  with an A... and the list goes on. Not sure what else they were looking for  Hoping to hear from them soon...

did anyone receive a snail mail from memorial uni?

I did.  A couple weeks ago the portal showed that a decision had been made for me.  A friend suggested I follow up with an email, which is how I found out I was rejected.  The following week I got a letter with a list of potential reasons that I was not accepted.  The only reason that was checked off on mine was ""lack of space," but I had been disappointed that I wasn't even waitlisted.  I'm in Nova Scotia, so that might account for how the letter got to me relatively quickly.

 

(The story has a happy ending, I later ended up with an offer to Lakehead which had been my first choice anyway!)

Honestly you sound so qualified! I don't have anything worth mentioning like you do, so I'd be surprised if you didn't get accepted.   I had great reference letters and an extremely honest letter of intent.   Nothing special.

I just got an email from Shona at the University of Alberta - I have been recommended for admission. I applied to the MPH Health Promotion stream.

In the email, it says that the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) is is 2-3 weeks behind with admissions. This is why some people have already received updates in their portal and why some people are still "Under Review". I just logged in to the portal and my application is still listed as "Under Review" so I guess that will be updated relatively soon. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

thanks, I am an international student so I guess it may take a couple of weeks to get the mail.

Thank you!

Did they send you an e-mail to your regular email? The one you included on your profile? (sorry for all the questions!! I called them but  they don't give any information about applications...)

It was 5:13 PM. Also, everyone on the email that I was sent was accidentally CC'd, not BCC'd. The director just followed up with a message saying that she accidentally sent the email to the entire group of applicants on the waiting list.

Hmm. I never got that email. I guess that means I'll be rejected. Oh well!
