I just got rejected from the U of A as well. A little bit surprised as I had pretty great references, a 3.95 GPA (overall, and 4.0 in my last two years). I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree so I wonder how my background impacted my application. I've worked in a mental health promotion role in Alberta for about two years as well.
I guess there's always next year!
I'm still waiting to hear from the U of A. My applicant portal still says under review and my beartracks says decision pending. I hope I find out this week!
Was the letter under the messages section of the applicant portal? The portal still says "under review" for my application, and Beartracks says "decision pending". I'm so eager to know either way!
The only program I applied to is the U of A MPH program with a focus in health promotion. My application status on the applicant portal changed from "application submitted" to "under review". Ahhh I wonder how much longer the waiting game will be!
