I hope we will find out soon. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openarms Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just to let McGill applicants know, I received an offer for the MScPH program on Wednesday. Offers are therefore trickling in. If anyone has any insight into the program that they would like to share which could be useful for those accepted or future applicants, I would greatly appreciate it. Good luck to those waiting to hear back and congrats to those who have already heard back! goalsforgradschool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a general note, I work with graduate students and their best piece of advice for applying to grad school and receiving acceptances and rejections is that it's best to recognize that graduate schools accept students on different merits. For example, if you apply to graduate schools that are thesis or research based, potential supervisors play a role in the types of students they want to take on because they have to carefully consider a) if they'll have funding to do research and b, which students they would want on their research. That means it can vary year to year how many students they take on. For other programs the requirements do play a role. For example, if a school wants their future applicants to have a strong mathematical background, that plays a huge role. If a school want students with diverse experiences, that affects their who they select to be a part of their cohort. I've seen students rejected out of medical school who have perfect GPAs and great volunteer experience simple because they scored a decimal point less than the person that was given a seat. The healthiest way to cope with graduate school admissions and not get stuck in an unhealthy mental loophole is to recognize that they accept on different merits and after your application submission it is out of your control. You submitted the best application that you could and it's best to occupy this time with hobbies, work, or other activities. Don't let the decisions of graduate schools reflect on yourself because there are many variables out of our control oneMPH, hannahebb, mphc2018 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalsforgradschool Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) McGill has also sent out rejections. I received on today. I applied knowing that it was a long shot. I understand that it is quite a quantitative program and my calculus and statistics marks barely made average, so their decision it is understandable. Good luck to everyone!

My application has said "submitted" since January 15th with the green dot beside it but other than that It's been radio silence. If it doesn't say submitted, it may be good to check in with the grad advisor to make sure your application went in okay! Wishing you luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
