Hey ALL,
I know this is pretty late but on the 1st of this month (RIGHT on the deadline) I submitted my apps to MHA programs at Tulane and UAlbany via SOPHAS. I am very interested in these two programs because of their Master's International Program. After 2 years of coursework, you're basically guaranteed a spot in the Peace Corps to put theory into practice.
I am graduating from NYU this year with a dual degree in Journalism & Africana Studies. 3.0 cum and an 1180 on the GREs.
I have had a LOT of international exposure-- i lived in Ethiopia for 4 years, traveled to Darfur, Sudan for 4 months as a columnist for an African magazine to cover the genocide, and I also traveled to Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) for 3 months to cover Cyclone Nargis.
I haven't had DIRECT hands-on experience in the public health sector, but i've seen a lot while covering these areas for my magazine.
All of this was covered in my personal statement.
I would really appreciate any response as to what my chances are at these two schools 🙂
THANK YOU!!!
