So I have a specific interest in global health policy and management. I intend to pursue an MPH and indicated as much for several schools on my primary (I'm hoping it won't have some sort of negative impact on my likelihood of getting an interview). While filling out secondary applications for certain schools (Tulane, GW, BU, Emory), I find myself describing my intention to pursue the dual degree and how it relates to my broader interests. Especially when asked about my specific interest in the school and degree program.
My question is, does it look bad to place too much emphasis on public health in the supplemental? I don't want the select schools at which I'm interested in pursing the dual degree to think that I'm solely interested for the MPH. In my secondaries, should I just briefly mention my intention of pursuing an MPH and wait for the interview to discuss more? Or is my original instinct okay? Any feedback is appreciated as always!
