Hi guys,
Congratulations on all the acceptances coming in!
Well, I am not applying to a doctoral program this year, but, I am thinking about it for the future. Currently, I am in my second semester of my MPH program in Epi. My undergrad grades were terrible, so I'm fortunate ti be in a program now and loving it and doing well.
My question for you all is how much do your grades from an MPH factor into admissions for a PhD in Epi? I am hoping to offset my undergrad grades with a vast improvement in my graduate work. I know that research interests and experience have a lot of weight in doctoral admissions, but being that I am only 1/4 of the way through my program, I don't have a lot to say on that at the moment, mainly because I am interested in just about everything and I have yet to do any research.
How much research experience is sufficient to be admitted to a doctoral program and how will my undergrad grades be viewed in the admissions process? I appreciate any and all responses, but I am particuarly hoping Stories will give some insight here
.
Well, congratulations to you all again and thank you!
