How Many Times Can I Apply to MPH Programs?

Hello. I'm determined to get into Harvard or Yale MPH, no matter what. I know that their acceptance rates are pretty high and I'm definitely not a terrible candidate, but just in case I get rejected I want to know how many times I can apply before they officially close the doors on me, once and for all.

1. Do they have a limit on how many times I can apply?
2. Do they keep track of each applicant's records?
3. OR: If I keep improving my application significantly year after year, can I keep applying until I eventually get in?

I was always very confused about that. The HSPH website simply says that I can apply to one degree program at a time, but it doesn't specify how many times I can apply in general.

Thanks very much in advance.

...Just an educated guess, but as with many other graduate programs, I'm assuming you can probably apply once every cycle, if that's what you really want to do.

Harvard MPH requires that one already hold a PhD, MD or other doctoral degree.

I agree that it is likely that one can only apply once per cycle and it is possible that they can look back at past applications. Don't both use SOPHAS?
