I would love to go to Western, but it seems as if they do all their acceptances within a day or two and email rejections? Im not sure if this is true, but I will keep my hopes up.

Congrats to you on your acceptance. So acceptances will be sent out on one day typically. Probably Monday/Tuesday next week based on forums from previous years. But I had friends last year who didn't receive a phone call BUT were admitted. So just because you don't hear your phone ring doesn't necessarily mean bad news. Also, apparently wait list e-mails go out 1 week after. And from what I heard, the waitlist tends to move pretty quick. Best of luck! stresseddepressed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to find healthy ways to process the information but we shouldn't let go just yet. I went for a walk after reading this thread Called a loved on and expressed my frustration, they listened and sometimes just hearing the "it's okay" is good enough to get through the day. After work I'll go for a run or exercise to make sure I don't fall into any self criticizing thoughts and it'll be okay. Most of the PI's I've worked with often share the story of how they applied to multiple schools and got rejected at most, waitlisted at a few but there was always one that accepted them, which is why they are where they are. Though I am skeptical of my admission this year, it's okay. That feeling is fair, but there is also room for hope ChelMPH, stresseddepressed, futurejdmph and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank-you though for continuing to share your positive words on this thread, I absolutely love it - we all need it, whether we have heard back from schools or not. YAY for self-care and self-love, I'm here for it and it's honestly so important, especially when a lot of us are still playing the ever so stressful waiting game.

I haven't received anything yet and on the SGS portal my application shows under review. I got the email for the unofficial offer on Friday, March 16. This past Tuesday, March 27, I received an email telling me to check my SGS application as it had been updated. I checked and the status is "Decision Made" and it provides a link to a document (pdf) of a scanned letter officially offering the acceptance with some other information. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!! Rooting for you & everyone else still waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesocks Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi all, I just got an acceptance email from University of Victoria MPH a few minutes ago! I just checked my portal and it still says under review. "You will also be required to attend an onsite Gateway orientation to the program August 27- 30, 2018 at UVic in Victoria, BC." I have until April 6 to respond. Keep holding on everyone! carters09 and futurejdmph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's March, and most decisions go until June. I second the staying positive approach! It seems like quite a few people on here have received multiple offers, and therefore will have to turn some offers down. I used to work in a med school admissions office and you'd be surprised at the number of offers we would send out in the second wave once the first wave people had considered their options and made a final decision. And even a third wave of offers. Just because you haven't heard yet, it doesn't mean that you won't be starting in an MPH program in the Fall :-) Faithmph, futurejdmph and ChelMPH 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkblaze Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I received a few minutes ago acceptance to SFU population health (with $2000 entrance scholarship). Already accepted to McGill MScPH and waitlisted to UBC. Haven’t heard from Toronto. Not sure what to do. I have two weeks to accept my SFU offer starting today. Good luck to everyone hopefully more offers are going out to SFU! hannahebb and 12nkv 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniSabi Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I was thinking if it is possible to reject an offer after accepting? Let's say later if you get an offer from your first choice in which you were waitlisted before? I still have time to accept my offer but I was just wondering if it's allowed.
