I'm nervous bc I don't have enough volunteer experience that's recent, but so many places in DC are 9-5 and I work fulltime. I found one place for weekends but I need to study for the GRE and somewhat have a social life lol.

LORs:
- One professor who I am very close to + is faculty for one of gw's mph programs
- Going to try and finesse one from an old prof who is super well known in pubh field and at GW
- Hopefully 2 from each internship, one of whom is a GW grad (at this point y'all can see where I'm trying to go to school LOL)

Applied/Will Apply: Thinking BU (global health project management) and GWU (global health - program design)
Accepted:
Rejected: I applied and was rejected from GW's global health epi program for fall 2017. Tbh, I looked at my SOP and it was utter trash compared what I wrote for program design. I also wasn't too into epi and had no pubh experience so it was a blessing in disguise.
