Greetings,
So just a brief background on me: I finished with a B.S. in Biology and have various experiences within the health field but the past 2 years I have been working in the IT dept. for Dept of Health and Human Services. I am looking on applying to an MPH program with specific interests in Global Health/Infectious Diseases. I have taken the GRE once a month ago without much studying and did'nt do too well (In the late 140s for one section).
Since I have been out of the field for a long time O feel the need to get back into the field through volunteer/job opportunities ( even science classes/short programs at tech schools if need be) that will strengthen my resume and experience as a whole. The other option is to apply directly to schools for the next year.
One other issue i have is since being out of school for so long it would be more difficult for me to get recommendation from a professor, or is it not? Any advice or tips would help! Thanks in advance.
