How come nobody here is talking about Tulane? In the past years, Tulane has been a rather popular option among sdn users but the trend seems to have changed this year?

If you guys wouldn't mind, I was wondering if you could look at the stats I currently have, and tell me if I'm at least on the right track to getting into a MHA program.
I'm a junior undergrad majoring in Political Science with a minor in Health Education & Promotion. My GPA is sitting at about 3.3 now, and I WILL have it up higher than a 3.4 by the time I graduate next May. I haven't taken the GRE yet, registered for August (I know, without those scores it's hard to tell me where I stand, but work with me here.) I am a R.A. on campus, last summer I was an intern for a Georgia Congressman in D.C. where I did some work with healthcare policy, and this summer I am working as an administrative intern at my local hospital. I know that this is the degree I want and something to work for. I'll have great references and, not to brag, but I kick ass at interviews.
This fall I have a couple of schools I would really like to apply for: Johns Hopkins, VCU, St. Louis, Minnesota, Michigan, and BU. I may also try another school or two for policy programs.
I get that as of now (and without my GRE scores) these schools may be big reachers. But that's kind of how I am. If I'm not able to get into a great school, I'm willing to work for a couple of year, get professional experience, and then try again. But I just wanted to get some thoughts from those of you who have been accepted.

I think your GPA needs to be around 3.5+ for some of the top tier programs
Seriously. Aim high.Nope.
Seriously. Aim high.
Really appreciate all of the info. I'd like to hear from anyone who might have applied to grad schools straight out of undergrad. Just wondering what your experience was like. And btw, congrats to all of you who have been accepted. I can't wait to be in your shoes.
Confirmed my admission at USC - MHA today..
Anyone else for USC?
I think it goes without saying that if you are strong in other aspects of your application, they can overcome a low GPA, or a low GRE. And that was my case as well. However, coming straight out of undergrad you're more limited. SOP is also a big one, as well as interviews but from what I gathered from some of the top schools and their GPA's of the previous classes admitted hover around or above 3.5. Not to say you cant get into a top program with a lower GPA...but obviously some of the top programs have the right to be pickier than others.Maybe I should have been more clear. I'm saying the top programs don't regree 3.5+. I snagged interview invites at most top schools with my garbage 3.0 (but I think my work experience supplanted it some). GPA and GRE are more of a floor for programs - it's more about the personal statement and the interview.
Higher GPA and GRE will only make things easier, but not a dealbreaker. As long as you're over a 3.0 you're not shut out of anywhere.
USC has a good program and is a "prestigious" name which is good if you're going into consulting. They also place well into fellowships. I dont know much about Tulane's program but I dont think you can go wrong with USC.Whew what a thread!
Anyways, I am a little late to the game and applied really late. So far I have been accepted to USC and Tulane...still waiting on Georgetown to process my app.
Between USC and Tulane any recommendations? I originally wanted to go into healthcare consulting, but realized getting a fellowship and hospital experience is more valuable at first from my perspective. Between the two, I know Tulane is ranked highly in terms of public health, however, with other ranking sites (MHA.org, MHAGuide, etc), USC is also up there. I know I am stumbling into a "ranking slave". But past on the wealth of knowledge here any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi !Is there currently a MHA Class of 2016 facebook page for those individuals that have committed to Cornell?
Whew what a thread!

For what it's worth, I graduated UC Berkeley with a 3.2 but kicked ass on the GRE (over 80th percentile). After finishing undergrad, I worked a full time job for 6 months before applying to grad schools; I will have been working a full year as a "gap year" so to speak between undergrad and grad school at a doctor's office. I was accepted to Emory's HPM program with that "low" of a GPA. I think your GRE scores and your professional experiences can really help. Good luck!If you guys wouldn't mind, I was wondering if you could look at the stats I currently have, and tell me if I'm at least on the right track to getting into a MHA program.

Try Texas A&M. I think they are taking stuff into June.
I was going to apply to UNT for their Fall Semester but they are not CAHME accredited. Is this a problem?
Would anyone be willing to share pieces of their SOP's with me? I've started the (daunting) process of writing mine, and could really use a little guidance. You guys all got into great schools, so I figure that you must have written a great SOP. I'm not looking to copy anything that anyone has written, could just use a little...inspiration?

My suggestion is to write an outline and organize everything you want to say first and make sure it all relates back to why public health/that school. Then write your draft being as inclusive as possible. It's way easier to cut down than add more. My draft started out as 3 pages (single spaced) and then I got it down to just over 2 pages. Remember not to repeat anything that is on your resume unless you are giving deeper insight about it.
I ultimately turned it down but I think they have a great program. USC is also a top notch school and holds a lot of clout on the west coast. Although its not really "ranked" really high for one reason or another, the university itself is very well known and they have plenty of resources. Cant go wrong.What are people's opinions on here about USC? I wanted to get some insight on the program. Also congrats to everybody on their decision good luck to everyone!
Do you guys really think it's realistically worth it to spend $70k for a MHA program? Anyone know any really really cheap programs? I am doing my research and pretty much open to everywhere around the US. My cousin who graduated from JHU said she wouldnt go past $50k when it comes to tuition.
If you look at tuition and cost of living, I don't know what choice a lot of people have.
We don't control the state of higher education, and even the least expensive schools are very expensive. They set the tuition amount, you work to get a scholarship, and you do what you can. Otherwise, you don't go.
