FAQ: Post-Application
How do I find out the status of my application?
You may access the ‘online checklist' once you have applied for your Campus Wide Login (CWL). As documents are processed the checklist shall be updated.
Can I call or email the office to find out the current status?
Due to the high volume of applications that are being processed, phone calls and e-mail inquiries will not be responded to. Please use the application online checklist to see your document status.
When will I find out if I was accepted to the program?
An email will be sent to each applicant in due course indicating the final status of your application. This is not available on the online checklist (which is just to see document status).
Letters start to go out in March and can still be going out until May. It is a lengthy process and we do our best to keep applicants updated as soon as possible.
Do you have a wait list?
We do compile a small wait list, as inevitably some applicants offered a spot in the program will decline. Applicants are notified right away if they are on the Wait list and regular updates are sent to them throughout the admissions period.
Can I appeal the decision of the MPH Admissions Committee?
Unless it can be shown that the application information was erroneous through no fault of the student, admissions decisions are final.
What type of a job will I get with an MPH degree?
Please see the “Career Paths” section of the MPH website for more information on jobs.
What are UBC MPH graduates doing now?
We are currently compiling a list as our first set of graduates conferred in May 2010. We expect to have this information on the website in the Fall of 2010.
Can I work full-time and still study for an MPH degree?
A number of our students work full-time while completing the MPH program in the Distributed Learning format. Please see the Distributed Learning section of the FAQ's for more information.
