Hey everyone,

I'm taking the GREs in about a week and I was just wondering what kind of score I need to get in to UNC's Health Behavior and Health Education Program. I have a 3.8 undergraduate GPA and experience working for UNC in Latin America, so I'm hoping I don't have to score that high... any advice would be appreciated!

Those are just averages...there are many other factors including your experience, essay and rec's.

Leaher77, don't mean to hijack your thread, but I wasn't aware UNC had strong ties in Latin America... what's your experience been there like so far?

Hey leaher77,
Just got into UNC. My GRE scores were:
V: 550
Q: 680
Writing: 5.5

I think that experience goes a long way when getting accepted, so having that experience is definitely a bonus!

How did UNC contact you? When did you apply?

I applied for the MPH in Maternal and Child Health and despite applying on Dec 15th, they only confirmed my materials as received on Jan 4th....
