MPH for me please Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 hey for those who got accepted, mind sharing your stats in terms of GPA and other qualifications? i get the feeling i'll be applying again next year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 so just called again, apparently, they've only sent out the acceptances and wait-listed applicants, no rejections just yet, they're probably waiting for people to accept/reject offers and then choose next best applicants to accept if seats are remaining. The anticipation gets harder each day=( Was this for Epi MPH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierrao Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I received an email from admissions about three weeks ago saying I had been recommended by the admissions committee to be admitted to MPH in Epi for this fall, and that I would be hearing from the admissions office soon via mail. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm starting to get nervous. Last week they asked for my official transcripts and my status on the online application now says "decision made"... but no letter yet. Anyone else have a similar experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrao Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Okay MPH U of T applicants, I just spoke to Matilda Kong (Administrative Assistant for Epidemiology Division at U of T)... letters are going out this week (May 2-6). Good luck to you all, we'll all know within a short time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punishster Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I was in the same boat. The department recommended me four weeks ago, but I JUST received the formal acceptance from the school yesterday. Don't worry, I think you will hear from them soon... And by the way, congrats!

bpatient Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Do they look at your 4th year marks if you apply during 4th year or is it 2nd and 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punishster Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 ^ the minimum is a mid-B (75%) in your last 5 credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riskfree Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just in case anyone is still following this post, I received this e-mail today "On behalf of Dr Nancy Kreiger, I am writing to inform you that the Admissions Committee has now made a strong recommendation that you be admitted into the M.P.H. program in Epidemiology for September 2011." I was waitlisted when the first offers were sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet star Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 hey, I am thinking of applying to UofT MPH next year but I am trying to decide between Health Promotion and Epidemiology specialization. Any thoughts? Which is easier to get into, do some courses overlap, what are the prospects for careers in both fields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPHhopeful Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm planning to apply to all MPH programs in Canada. I don't know what my chances are and I don't know how to write a letter of Intent. I am especially eager to attend the UofT MPH epi program. If anyone could give me any advice that would be great. I did 3 years of research in cancer pathology with publications. Went abroad for a few weeks to 2 different countries. 1 Research Award GPA 3.6ish What are my chances. I graduated from UofT last June double major in psychology and health. I don't know if I'm competitive or not. How do I make a strong CV and strong letter of intent. I either want to apply to med after OR continue in research - do I include both intentions in letter of intent. Does UofT have an interview stage? I'd really appreciate some help. Side note - what is it about Uoft epi. program that distinguishes it from the rest? Thanks everyone, and goodluck to all who are applying!!

Diceroll2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Your best bet is to get epi related work/research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPHhopeful Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Cancer research isnt relevant to the field? Are you in the program program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceroll2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Cancer research isnt relevant to the field? Are you in the program program? Depends on the nature of your project. From my understanding, the program is looking for relevant work, including epi work and epi courses. If your prior work fits this, I think you could sell yourself in the letter of intent. That being said, your GPA is low for admissions into the program. I think this is going to weigh heavily against you. You may want to consider other epi programs in the country. I am not in the program, I was previously interested but have changed my mind. A career in epi is not me. Most MD/MPHs obtain their MPH after their MD.
