Mine is stuck at "Application Complete" and the status hasn't changed since they sent out acceptances. Hi, I contacted my program administrator and she told me I was wait listed. It still shows the same thing for me on the portal though. Not trying to scare you, but try contacting them if you haven't yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pancakes8 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1 hour ago, NovaTerra said: According to my epi prof who sits in the admissions committee, they send out offers of admission to a few applicants (early admission), and those applicants have to make a decision by a certain date (they give applicants 2 weeks to decide, but lets use April 1st as an example). After April 1st, the admissions committee will count how many spots they have left in the program and send more offers based on the space they have left. Then they keep doing this until they get the amount of students they want in the program. Official rejections will come afterwards. That is to say that you haven't been rejected yet. But my advice is that you should assume that you've been rejected and start planning your summer and fall to improve your CV (e.g. find employment related to your field, get published, etc.). I'm doing the same since I didn't get in the first wave of UofT epi Saying that people are already rejected when admissions just started going out is not the attitude you should have. That's pretty discouraging to people who may have worked very hard and applied. You don't work on the admissions board, you cant say people should assume they're rejected. mph2018, sheisgreat, pablo9 and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty discouraging to people who may have worked very hard and applied. You don't work on the admissions board, you cant say people should assume they're rejected. Personally, I think it is best to hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Applicants haven’t been rejected yet, since only the first wave of acceptances have been sent out, but, as a UofT MPH grad, I think it is best to consider yourself on a wait list right now if you haven’t received an acceptance. Putting your life on hold because you haven’t yet been accepted or rejected is not a good idea. Planning for the future, in case you are rejected, is the best approach. I’m still waiting on a decision from Queen’s re: two PhD programs. If I assumed I would be accepted, I wouldn’t be doing anything right now to improve my application or to ensure that I remain licensed as a registered dietitian. As I don’t have an answer yet, I am proceeding as if I were rejected (even though I haven’t been), and securing myself employment in my field so that I can maintain my registration. I think it’s good advice to start planning for the future, in case an acceptance doesn’t come through. If people later receive an acceptance, that’s awesome! But I think it is very important to have back-up plans. I was fortunate to receive admission to UofT’s MPH on the first day of acceptances, but I already had three other back-up plans prepared (including an acceptance to an MSc program) in case the MPH didn’t happen. I think that’s prudent planning. YMMV of course. I like to plan and to have back-up plans so that I’m not left in limbo. Others may prefer to wait and see what happens before making alternate plans. yegMPH, futurejdmph, sickening_wreck and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty discouraging to people who may have worked very hard and applied. You don't work on the admissions board, you cant say people should assume they're rejected. The person I replied to specifically asked, "is it reasonable to assume that if I haven't heard back yet it's likely a rejection?". And I answered their question. I don't work in the admissions committee and nor do you, but preparing for the worst outcome is the best thing anyone could do in this situation. Talking about stuff like this is literally one of the main purposes of this entire forum. 3 hours ago, MaiR1 said: Do you know if this is only for epi or also for other mph streams? Sorry, I have no clue. I'm guessing it might be different since different programs have different student quotas, so some programs may be stricter or more liberal with sending out offers.

purplesocks Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Any news from Victoria? I've applied to UWaterloo and UVic, and I've read people's posts about Waterloo, some accetances, some rejections, more to admissions to come at the end of March. But I haven't seen a single post of anyone getting news from Victoria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bailm16 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 For those who applied to Memorial, I wouldn't expect an answer until June. Pretty much all of their admission decisions come out in June for their professional degrees, like MPH, pharmacy, nursing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
