I am really in need of some advice, as I am between schools.I have about a year to decide because I am deferring to Fall 2017 I have been accepted to Boston University and UI at Chicago for an MPH degree. Currently I am favoring UIC because I am skeptical about BU's new integrated core can...

Does anyone here know if being a DO rather than an MD would hinder your chances in securing a resident position? What's the general level of competition in attaining this residency? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am a third year student in biology/international affairs student at a top 50 university in the US. I am interested in doing a global health degree abroad and was looking at masters programs at Imperial College London, University College London, LSHTM, and Oxford. I was wondering how much...

Hi everyone! First time poster here ~ So I'm leaning toward pursuing an MPH degree because I don't feel totally ready for medical school yet. I've been studying for the MCAT and set to take it in June. I know that I can use it to apply for public health schools depending on their admissions...

So after lots of deliberation, I feel like it's come down to between BU and Pitt for my MPH. BU is stupid expensive, but somewhere I've always wanted to go. Affording the overall living expenses and tuition will be hard my on family, but they'll make it work, as always. I love that it's a core...

Hi everyone! Very grateful to be choosing between Hopkins, Stanford, and a full-ride at WashU! I'm wondering if anyone (especially current med students who faced similar choices) has any insight to share. I'm interested in a competitive specialty (thinking ortho or some other surgical...

This goes out to anyone who has enrolled before: What do I get for my $600 deposit? A sweater, t-shirt, hat? I'm just curious because I like free stuff (if you ignore the $600...).

Hello all, I was accepted into JHSPH, Emory, Columbia, BU, and CUNY, all in MPH programs concentrating in Epidemiology. I love the field and I'm 80% sure I'd like to pursue a PhD in Epidemiology someday. I am wondering how important is the rank/name brand of the institution you received your...

Hello future/potential Terrier classmates! :happy: And congrats to everyone who was admitted to this fall's incoming MPH cohort! I was not able to attend today's admitted students' day :( and will not be able to attend next month's event either (I have prior commitments). I was wondering if...

Hi! I'm looking for advice from current MPH or PhD Epidemiology students or graduates on career paths. I'm confused about what's out there in regards to what jobs are available for masters graduates and what those pay vs phd graduates. I'm interested in pharmacoepidemiology but a little...

Hello everyone! I have narrowed my school choices down to University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and New York University (NYU). I've been accepted for MPH Epi in both, and I was wondering if any of you could lend some insight on a concern I have! UIC's MPH program seems to be far more...

Hi everyone, I have been accepted to the MSHS program at Western University of Health Sciences. I stated in my personal statement that I did want to pursue in the clinical field later on as a PA, but want the background in health education first. Any thought's on this?

Does anyone know about a dual degree in OT and Public Health? I saw that Washington U in St. Louis and Colombia offer dual degrees, and that this broadens the scope of practice and policy for occupational therapy. But I also know that it is very new--does anyone have any idea about...

Was recently accepted into both and need to make a decision soon.. BU's MBA program is much more highly rated, but Johns Hopkins is so well known for health care and has the best MPH program in the country. What do you think is more strategic??

Hey I'm interested in a dual degree DO/MPH program at my school. The MPH classes would be taken during the summers of M0 and M1. However, I am an Army HPSP student, and I'm wondering whether the MPH classes during the M1 summer would qualify as "school orders" in order to satisfy the ADT...

Hi, first time poster here. I find this site very helpful, and would appreciate some needed advice. I received admission into Emory's BSHE MPH program as well as UT Houston's custom MPH program at their Dallas campus, and I don't know which one to pick. I went to Emory for my undergrad, and...

(success story) i graduated from the university of iowa in 2014 where I REALLY REALLY struggled through it due to some severe depression. I graduated with a SOPHAS calculated GPA of 2.47. After graduation I worked for City Year and it really changed my life, I became super passionate about...

Recently accepted and would like to discuss the program!

I recently got into the BSHE dept at Emory, which has thrown a wrench into what I thought was going to be a fairly simple decision. Anyone with some pros and cons for the school/Atlanta would be greatly appreciated here!

Hi all! I'm having trouble deciding between the global epidemiology MPH programs at U Michigan (MPH global health epi), Emory (MSPH GLEPI), and JHU (MSPH GDEC) - I have some questions for current and former students from any of these programs/schools (or anyone else who can answer), any insight...

I know these two schools are not comparable in terms of ranking & reputation. But considering the other factors (mainly tution fee), I am now in great dilemma to which one should I go. Hopkins is my dream school. But to fulfill my dream, I have to go through about 80K debt in 11 month including...

I am planning to go for the Johns Hopkins MPH. It will cost me about 80,000 (62,000 tution fee + 18,000). I don't have much idea about FAFSA, since it is my first time dealing with it. My plan is to pay all of the expense with FAFSA loan. Is it possible to get this high amount of loan from FAFSA...

I graduated from college in 2013 with a BA in Psychology, didn't like the job I got with it, and decided to go back to undergrad to collect the courses I needed to take the MCAT. I got B's in all my sciences except two C's in Orgo (about a 2.75 science GPA) and I got in the 55th Percentile on...

Hello: I have a few questions to ask and any information provided would be greatly appreciated. 1. I plan on entering an AS in Respiratory Care program this upcoming fall so that I may become a Respiratory Therapist. If I plan on getting a more advanced degree in the future would getting a...

Hello everyone, I am a year behind on the application cycle due to a major change from History to Human Biology after my Freshman year. Due to this I decided to apply to a number of MPH programs and am into the University of Michigan's MPH program in environmental health science starting this...

I have been accepted into both programs (yay!), but I am having a hard time making a final decision. I have heard mixed things about whether an MHA or MPH degree is "better" or more versatile. I do not have a particular direction I am set on just yet for my career. Both programs are fairly...

I was just accepted to Emory, BU, and Pitt's MPH programs in Epidemiology and am trying to decide between the three. I got an academic scholarship to BU so it's actually a little less expensive than Emory is. I'm interested the most in chronic disease epidemiology and pharmaceuticals. (Also...

I recently got accepted into an MPH program and have an upcoming interview with another university. I really want this one and was wondering whether I should mention that I have already been accepted into a very good program (I would mention the university)? Good or bad idea? If no, and I am...

Hi all, Anybody heard back from Hopkins (MPH) here? I have been accepted into their MPH program and planning to attend there. It will be great if we who are going to attend JHSPH can start a discussion here. Specially about the Baltimore lifestyle, housing, financial aid, academic calendar...

I recently got accepted into the University of Southern California's online MPH program for Spring 2016. I applied in the Biostatistics & Epidemiology track. I was hoping that current students/alumni from the program could tell me what it's like and whether they recommend the program or not...

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone is doing an MPH at UPenn and if so could talk some more about it? I know it's a very general program, but just wanted to hear if a current student had anything to say!

I was recently admitted to Rush Medical College. Although I LOVE the school, they don't have a Master's of Public Health program, and I was hoping to finish medical school with both degrees. Perhaps I could take part time MPH classes at Northwestern or get it by taking an extra year after M2...

Hi friends, I am currently an undergrad and will be graduating fall 2016 with a fairly mediocre GPA (~3.3-3.4 science, ~3.5-3.6 cumulative, with overall upward trend). Anticipating a stellar mcat score of around 518 but haven't taken it yet. I am trying to choose between two very different...

Hello, This is a long post, but it would mean a lot if I can get some guidance and advice. I'm hitting a life predicament. I hit the reset button on life last week. After slaving away meaningless codes and maps for an IT software company, I realized that I wanted to enjoy my job (duh). I am...

Hey Everyone, I have read a number of posts and researched a decent amount on my own, but keep going in circles trying to decide which concentration to pursue! I am applying for MPH or MSPH programs currently and am torn between Epi (or Global Epi), Environmental/Occ (with Global focus) or...
