Hi guys!
I'm applying to quite a few MPH programs during this acceptance period, just to get a feel for how it works and in the unfortunate event that I don't get in, I'll probably be refocusing and working to upgrade my profile a bit. I thought I'd add my stats below and maybe get some feedback? Constructive criticism would be great!
My cGPA in my last two years of study is 3.23 - I studied at UWaterloo.
My statistics course average was quite horrible - I received a 60 - I was however dealing with my family member's passing during this time period so it was a bit of a mess overall. In the event that I don't receive an acceptance, I will be re-taking this course to hopefully boost my profile.
I have over a year of volunteer experience at a Women's Health Centre, and two years of work experience at the same Health Centre.
I also have two years of work experience in healthcare, directly related to patient services and specialty pharmacy-related work.
I have three academic references, and one professional reference and they are VERY strong, directing focus towards my work experience related to health-equity and my devotion to healthcare for marginalized communities.
I also have a strong letter of intent - in the sense that I've had professors look at my work and they say it's strong - I don't think I'd be able to personally look at my own letter and judge it fairly.
I'm applying to:
UWaterloo
McMaster
UWO
UofT
Brock
Queen's
MUN
SFU
UAlberta
UManitoba
UVicTEN SCHOOLS - I know, I know - I just want to keep my options open and if there's even a remote chance I can get in this year, I would like to take it. Again, I wish everyone the best of luck this year! Please let me know if you have any feedback or constructive thoughts about my application - anything and everything would be helpful.

how long would you say it usually takes for a school to process your official transcript and update the information in the application portal? i received confirmation that my transcripts reached the school whose offer i accepted, but i'm not sure how long it takes for it to update in the portal.
