If anyone has any comments about either program and can help me make an informed decision I would love that! Congrats on your offer! Did you submit your application early by any chance? I'm just wondering if they're going through applications based on submission date. Edited March 6, 2018 by openarms

My application status has not been updated at all and just simply says submitted. I got an email! I haven't actually checked my SFU account yet. Various research experiences (mostly clinical, some slightly related to public health in the university population), couple jobs, nothing really too public health related. Last two year GPA was probably 3.87. Currently on my year off. futurejdmph 1

I applied to SFU's MPH in population health too. I submitted my application in October, but my last document (updated transcript) was updated right at the very last minute as well. I have not heard anything from them though. I just hope it doesn't mean bad news.. Good luck to everyone else!

vancouverrunner Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Anyone heard from UBC yet?! Did anyone apply for the fellowships/scholarships. I think the deadline on that is Ap.1 so if attached to a program I imagine would have to wait until then....

I received my acceptance last year on March 9th and was one of the first here on Gradcafe. Can I ask what your GPA and extracurriculars/work experience was? I'm an undergrad applying to mph, and it seems like they only accept professionals into the program, but waterloo is my #1 choice
mph2018w Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Has anyone received an acceptance to Waterloo yet?

I'm an undergrad applying to mph, and it seems like they only accept professionals into the program, but waterloo is my #1 choice It is geared towards professionals. I've been working in Public health for almost 4 years now. We do have a 2 or 3 students in our class who had come straight from undergrad but had done co-ops in Public health. I have a long list of work experience/extracurriculars. I work in healthcare but under the public health side. Have extensive volunteer experience with multiple organizations, chair of committee, presentations at conferences etc.
vancouverrunner Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) I just got an email of rejection from UBC MA in Interdisiciplinary (where I applied to do it in conjunction with SPPH). I am a bit taken back as I also applied for their MSc in Population and Public Health but the odd's might be low for that program as it in very quantitatively based and I feel as though my background does not lend itself to it. But we will see, fingers crossed. Background -3 years health promotion/public health Ieading a national project around changing Canadian legislation -Nursing degree (3.9 GPA) -Two supervisors who have guaranteed me funding and a position/office in their research centre -Well written proposal inwhich both supervisors said was PhD level -My stats course is a grade below the requirement therefore I think UBC will hone in on this but hoping they see all the other qualifications and make a rounded decision.... but who knows -Presentations, publications, experience writing a nursing course module for a government body. I am honestly shocked about the MA... The requirements are so much lower! Geez, what does it take to get into school these days?! Edited March 9, 2018 by vancouverrunner

I know a proff who sits in the admissions committee, according to her, the letter of statement is very important, in which you have to demonstrate fit. You have an amazing profile but maybe too many people applied this time around.
