So this is sort of specific to a particular MS program out of ASU - The MS in Science of Health Care Delivery.
I cant find much in reviews or the sort on it, nothing on here for the most part anyways. I will probably end up graduating from U. Iowa with a BS in Human Physiology and a Cum GPA of 3.3 or 3.4 with a science gpa around 3.3 also. I will graduate may 2017 and I am obviously nervous about my admissions chances. I have thought about DO and would love that equally as much as MD schooling. Either way I think my GPA will be on the low end. I know a good solid mcat score will be much more beneficial than any MS program so that is my number one goal right now.. Im just preparing for the bad case of having an average score (meaning average of admitted students not just average) I also realize that a lot of times MS programs are worthless to application boards. I guess im asking about this specifically because its not just like another MPH to boost a resume.
I was thinking about doing a masters because I dont have any research (not yet at least) and not that this will add much but it will add other resume boosting things like LOTS of Patient contact and the sort.
I have 200 hours of Physician Shadowing and 200 hours of Surgery Clinic volunteer work.
If not this program, what would be similar and more beneficial. Also open to other ideas. I am dedicated, I have a bad GPA because sophomore year I lost my way a little bit and didnt know if this was something I wanted to do so I moved away to work on software dev. for a semester in san francisco. Turns out i missed this a ton and came back to it.
please dont ream me
