I know for medical school applications Indians from Asia are NOT considered minorities, but what about for Public Health programs (MPH)? I read somewhere that they were but I was not too sure; just looking for some clarification. Thanks for the help..

I'm not really sure why that would make a difference. If one ethnicity is underrepresented in one field, my bet is that they're underrepresented in a related field and vice versa. I have no idea though.

I think that MPH is much easier to get into, I would just focus on working to get in than worrying about "short cuts"

I agree. I wouldn't put too much thought into it for an MPH

Indians are everywhere in healthcare/science.

yeah, I am an east asian and sometimes I don't like the situation that I need to compete with Indians. There must be a division btw east asian and south asian, so that the standard mcat score for indians would be 35 instead of 31.
