I posted a couple days ago (maybe even a week ago) with Google Doc links to my three personal statements. (Link here: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/personal-statement-help.1236825/#post-18489665 to read what people said before I edited them). Anyway, I've revised them and would like...

Hi! So, I am about to finish my undergraduate degree in chemistry. My chemistry GPA is low for many reasons ranging from hard classes to "it wasn't my passion so I didn't try hard enough". What I really want to do is make an impact in population health and enter the field of epidemiology/medical...

I'm guessing this is highly dependent on MPH vs. PhD, academia vs. industry, etc. Say someone has a PhD, would industry or academia be more suitable to someone who wants to travel and do fieldwork? I'm specifically interested in eco-epidemiology and the intersection between infectious disease...

Hi everyone! I am currently applying to med school, but with only 2 interviews and over a dozen rejections, I'm starting to consider my options for next year. I'm really interested in pursuing a Masters of Public Health, as this is something that really aligns with my career goals post-medical...

Hi everyone! I've recently started researching MPH programs and was hoping for some advice. My GPA is lower, 2.8, so I'm anxious about applying. There are several programs that state a minimum of 3.0 needed..I will be taking the GRE next month. I'm also hoping to find an online program to...

Hello! I am almost finished with an MPH program and will be applying to med school in the next year or two. I know that I want to go to med school and become a physician, but I'm concerned about how much I'll get to utilize my public health education as a physician. I'm interested in hearing...

I'm looking at applying to online/distance MPH programs for Summer or Fall '17. I've chosen the online format due to the inability to quit working for two years to go to school, and due to the fact that I'm quite disciplined and excel at working independently. I have an undergraduate degree in...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some general advice here. I am interested in pursing a MPH and after months of research I believe I would be most interested in a social and behavioral sciences program (like those offered at Yale, Harvard, Columbia). I want to know what I should be doing in the...

I'm not sure if this has been addressed directly yet about specifically UTK, but I'm wondering about their MPH program and their admissions rigor. I know that places like UGA would pretty much demand quite a bit of experience and a pretty high GRE score to get in. But what about UTK? Do they...

Does anyone have experience with or know of an MPH program or another Master's program that has a focus or the ability to focus on pre-hospital 911 EMS? I'm entering medical school next year with an extensive background in EMS and an interest in EMS medicine and medical direction.

I just watched Don Asher's presentation on youtube about how to get into grad school. He said if you are a STEM student and don't apply for at least 3-4 scholarships you will be considered a "dud". No matter how great your grades are, or anything else, if you do not apply for scholarships the...

Hi All, I am in the beginning stages of applying to MHA programs and have some basic questions regarding the SOPHAS and HAMPCAS tools. I have seen students using one or the other or a combination of both. Is one preferred over the other? Do some schools use only one while other schools only...

So I got accepted to multiple MPH programs (for Spring 2017 admission), and now I've got to start making decisions.

I am a Microbiology major who is preparing to apply for PhD programs. I am very interested in biodefence and counter-bioterrorism focused programs, but I have only been able to find a few programs. I was wondering if anybody has heard or read about graduate programs in this field.

Hi, I can't find much information on the web about how you should do your resume for MPH programs. I imagine it differs from a resume you would create for a job. Does anyone have tips, advice, resources or sample resume I could take a look at? Thanks!

EMPH? - Emory offers an Executive MPH geared towards working professionals. How does this differ from other online MPH programs? Do hiring managers look at this differently than a resident MPH? Context: I am trying to move closer to my SO after having struggled through a LDR for some...

Hi Everybody, I currently have a BA in Psychology and research experience (RA work in a health psych laboratory and contributed to a publication). I graduated in 2014 and took time off to get some field experience since I was heavily interested in public health. I currently work as a program...

This post is for all of you who are thinking your grades hold you back. I graduated from a Public Ivy in 2014 and I had a terrible GPA. I could barely make it out of college. But somehow managed to pull that one off. I ended up with a GPA below 2.5. I was discouraged and disappointed. I took a...

Hey y'all! I thought I'd start this thread (even though it's a bit early in the game for most schools) for anyone who's thinking of applying or has started applying for any Spring 2017 MPH programs! I know that not all schools offer spring admission, but it worked out better for my schedule to...

Hi everyone, I am currently an undergraduate at UC Davis and I want to know the chances of me getting into various MPH programs. I am taking the GRE later this month and I am applying to NYU, USC, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Loma Linda, and Boston. I have a 3.1 gpa which I know isn't too high however...

Hello, This will be my first semester in grad school. I am pursuing an MPH while participating in the Peace Corps. 6 credits will be awarded towards my MPH degree requirement. I am told I have to take between 30-33 credits the year prior to Peace Corps. And my last semester when I return I'll...

Hey everyone, Hope this reaches you all during a fun and fulfilling summer. Background: I am entering my 2nd year of medical school. Have always loved public health (working with communities, keeping environment clean, preventative care, etc.). I know I will at some point want to serve in...

I graduated pre-med and communications and wanted to go to med school - but found myself in healthcare PR and love it. Med school is not feasible at this point. I've worked in hospital administration and am now at a top agency doing PR for hospitals/pharma. I want to work directly in a hospital...

Hello! I'm looking into applying to MSW/MPH programs, as well as clinical psychology programs. I am wanting to do work with individuals with eating disorders, and I hope to open my own private practice later on down the road. The only thing that scares me about this process is that my GRE...

Hi, I'm an undergraduate majoring in public health. I am a rising senior. I recently switched my major to public health in my junior year of college. Currently, I have no internship experience within public health. Should I go straight for my MPH after undergrad? I'm interested in going into...

Figured out the program my folks were talking about was the Touro CA "Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences (COM)" program... which means this thread is most likely redundant with that other one I saw. Ignore this thread; I'll read the site and the other thread.

I will be graduating with B.S. in biochemistry with a GPA of 3.0. I have been accepted into both dental hygiene program for NYU and a master in public health program for GMU. Which would be better in the long run into getting into dental schools?
