Has anyone applied to MPH programs with a MCAT score? I have a 506 (71%) with a breakdown of 129/123/124/130. Do you think it's worth applying with the MCAT score? or should I take the GRE to increase my chances?

I am also applying to MPH programs now with only an MCAT score (517) and no GRE. I already got into two of the programs I applied to (Temple and Mt Sinai).
You should first make sure that the schools you want to apply to accept MCAT in lieu of the GRE because there are a lot that don't. If they do accept MCAT scores then the GRE isn't entirely necessary, but a good score couldn't hurt your app. As long as you have a solid GPA and resume then you could definitely get in to some good MPH programs without taking the GRE.

Congrats on your acceptances!! I'll definitely make sure that the schools take the MCAT in lieu of the GRE. Thank you for your help!
