Just wanted to say I got my Queen's acceptance yesterday! Probably my first choice program. Deadline to accept is April 1st, so only two weeks to decide. I hope to hear back from uOttawa (under review as of March 15th) and Western in time, though I'm not sure about Western based on a prior comment in this thread. My McMaster app is also still under review, but I realized the transcript I sent in doesn't have my student number so that application might be a loss.
If anyone is curious, I applied with both a BA (Hons) Kin and MSc. in Health and Rehabilitation Science from Western (Qualitative). I also have some contract work experience with a cancer-related NGO through a professor over the past year while job hunting. The COVID job market was rough without good networking. My experience job hunting and through work identified that I lack experience on the quantitative side of things, which is why I'm interested in the MPH. I hope everyone has good luck with their applications! If you don't find success, I applied to 2 MPH programs (McMaster, Western), 2018-2019, out of undergrad and was rejected by both so I know how it feels. There's still a path forward, even if it's atypical!
