Rejection from lake head ?

Hello, 
Best of luck to everyone out there applying for their mph. 
I'm planning to apply for the mph programs at the University of Waterloo,  Brock university and maybe Lakehead. 
Been out of school for 4 years since my Undergrad. From reading the other mph forums throughout the previous years,  it seems like the gpa to get in is higher and higher after each year. 
Had a low 80s cumulative average during my Undergrad. 
Been working as a public health professional at a Ontario public health unit for last 4 years dealing with outbreak management and control.
Looking for a online mph program. 
I was just wondering how important are the academic references? I got a professor to agree to write me a reference letter because I did well in his class but I'm afraid it might be very generic. 
Anywhoo, best of luck with your applications. 
 
 

Thank you so much!!! I'm just kind of worried and want to maybe find out why, I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope to receive some good news soon.

No worries! In application reviews, emphasis is usually placed on the letters of reference and your own statement of interest (From what I've heard from other people). I believe that as long as you have a genuine passion for PH it'll come through in your app  

Any international applicants got into any Canadian Mph programs tyear ? Will appreciate your response.
I am an international candidate still waiting to hear from U of T Epi and Uni of Waterloo MPH program though already accepted my LSHTM offer.
