Moving to the 'what are my chances' forum.

I think you have a great chance at the MPH schools you mentioned. I am currently attending Emory and I recall that most matriculants have 3.5ish GPA range so you should be set. Your low verbal score is slightly worrisome and you should consider retaking them for medical school admissions. MPH makes little impact in admissions cycle.

I am little biased here, but I think Emory MPH will give you slightly better leverage as you can work in CDC or Yerkes during your stay at the Rollins.

Maybe it's because you're applying to MPH that's okay, but if it was MD, I'd seriously have reservations about a triple major in Engineering Physics not being able to crack a 10 in PS and only a 7 in verbal.
