sy19 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Hi all, I've been accepted to UBC MScPPH and UofT MPH in Epi, and having lots of trouble deciding! I know they're totally different programs- one's more research-based, and one's course-based and has a practicum. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I want to go into research or more policy stuff after graduation. Anyone have any insights?

I like waterloo better than lakehead for sure but because mph lakehead has epi specialization and waterloo is general, I am so confused between the two programs. Any insight? Thank you Did you hear back from Lakehead yet?? I'm still patiently waiting

I just wanted to decide incase I get in Lakehead epi and also because my waterloo deadline is approaching fast. I emailed Lakehead last week and they said they give till july to hear decisions. And for sure I won't be hearing their decision in next few days. All the best to you too.
goalsforgradschool Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Has anyone heard if McMaster is still sending out acceptances?

Jeez they seem late this year.. it's killing me. I emailed them last week asking the timeline for decisions because my deadline to accept the other offer is approaching. And this is what they replied: We have over 350 applications to review, therefore, the general timeline we give applicants to hear a decision is up to July. I can tell you that you will notknow a decision within the next few days. I know they seem very late this year. Which stream did you apply?

I am waitlisted there and my letter said they wanted top ranked applicants to respond by mid April and they intend to let waitlisted people know before the end of April.

I received an acceptance about a month ago and had until April 9 to accept

I received an acceptance about a month ago and had until April 9 to accept They told me they do rolling admissions, so they have sent out some but not all decisions. There's no fixed date when decisions will be released and they give time till July to hear a decision. Congratulations on your offer. Which stream did you apply to? And did you accept your offer?

I think you need to evaluate what part of research do you like? And what part of policy stuff do you like? Read job descriptions for both jobs and try to imagine what do you most likely see yourself doing? Is your previous work/education experience more related to research or policy? What are you passionate about? All the best ?
Shama30 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Hi, Has anyone received any mails regarding admissions from University of Alberta and University of Guelph for MPH?

Asthashah Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am new to this thread, but as I read through I found some great information. I am a dentist, have done my Bachelors from India. I applied to UBC MPH/DPH (Diploma in Dental Public Health), Western's MPH, U of A MPH in Health Management, Lakehead's MPH in Epi and SFU MPH in Population Health. I received an offer from UBC and Western University last week. UBC has asked me to accept the offer by April 15th and pay the deposit by April 30th. So I accepted the offer at UBC, but still have doubts about the course. I want to be 100% sure about my decision before I pay the deposit. Does anyone know more about the MPH/DPH program at UBC? Do you get better jobs if you graduate from higher ranking universities in Canada ? The MPH/DPH course is very expensive and as an international student I have no idea about the job scenario and career prospects in the field of MPH in Canada and would really appreciate some insight.
