Hey,
this my first post, I hope I'm posting it in the right area.
Within the last week I've been accepted into John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health -Environmental Health Science program- for a Masters in Health Science in Environmental Health. This is a 9 month program, and I've specifically chosen their population health focus (there's an option for 3 focuses Global health, toxicology, population).
Their sample curriculum is pdf on their website (I dont know how to post just one page of a pdf here otherwise i would):

I've also been accepted to Barry's 2 (or 18 months) Year Biomedical Science program.
And I've been accepted into GeorgeMason's GeorgeSquared Advanced Biomedical sciences program, not the Gsquared SMP but their ABS program.
Now all three of these schools say they need to hear back within a week, I'm assuming b/c I've been accepted so late and they need to try to finalize their classes or what not.
My question is which of these programs is looked upon favorably by medical school committees (allopathic or osteopathic). I'm wondering which one holds more weight in the eyes of med schools. There's not really many statistics (in terms of matriculation to medical school) for the john hopkins program, and the respected ABS and Barry programs are inferior versions to their sister programs (Gsquared SMP and Barry 1 year)
my GRE score was a 1300, (610 verbal) (690 math) and my undergrad gpa was 2.7 science 2.96 overall, i really have no idea how or why i was accepted. i guess I bothered them enough and showed i can write competently.
I really have no idea which is the best one for me. I'm planning on taking the MCAT in september. And applying after that for the Fall 12 entrance, though I know its still a long shot, and that it would be better to apply after finish one year of the masters program. But i figured it wont hurt to try and avoid a year.
