Masters at USask

Applied to several universities in the US, Europe, Canada and China. Can’t remember how many I applied ( its 10-12 years ago) and got few good responses from Europe and China.  But didn’t receive any responses from most of them.   Chinese academy of science fellowship, Erasmus Mundus fellowship, Daad fellowship are some of the fellowships I applied for and was not successful.  I received a fellowship from U of S and that was the main reason I joined U of S I got a fellowship and the program was very interesting and I really liked the research area. Another reason is that the U of S is one of the top universities in Canada and the college is one of the best in North America. First I contacted the PI and discussed my interests and further goals. Next I got PI’s acceptance letter and officially applied for the program.  Applied for two different fellowships and got one fellowship within two months. Applied for my visa and it took several months to get approved  And joined the university ( University of Saskatchewan, U of S) after that. I completed my studies from University of Kerala (MSc and M Phil). University of Kerala is exempted from any requirement for English language proficiency (varies for different universities). Minimum GPA is 4-4.5 for fellowship in U of S.  Getting a fellowship is challenging and very competitive.  Admission procedures were very easy and fast. The only problem I faced was to gather all necessary documents ( official transcripts and certificates) from University of Kerala and send them to U of S via mail. I applied in September. The admission process takes about 2 months to complete. After receiving the acceptance letter from the PI ( took one week), I applied officially to the university. Once my application was accepted, they asked me to pay the application fee which is 90CAD. Within a week they send official requests for official transcripts from the parent university to complete the admission process.  Only time consuming process was getting all documents ready and mail from my parent University to U of S (took about 1 and half month). ...Read More

I live in Saskatoon so I decided this was the most convenient and affordable option for me. The nutrition program also had the practicum included in it, which other provinces don't have- you have to compete for it. The fact that I would not have to compete for this made the program much more appealing to me to apply for....Read More

The way residence works to get into the medical school so it'd be easier for me to get a spot if I did my undergrad in the province and this is the better out of the two major schools in the province. In addition, it just seems like it has a vast selection of postgraduate options....Read More
