I've been admitted to ETSU's Fall 2017 MPH program with an epidemiology concentration.
I never took stats/probability in undergrad (whoops), but I did take basic pre-cal, and I took several courses that had a lot of stats and probability in them--I was just never given a foundation education in it. So I'm taking it this summer before starting into grad school.
Now that I've gotten in, I'm just wondering--from first-hand perspectives--what it's like. I know graduate school is a lot harder and also in a way easier than undergrad, but what is it like for public health? What's the hardest part and what did you find the most enjoyable? What specific challenges did you find yourself facing?
My school doesn't have a thesis or dissertation. We have to complete a culminating field experience before graduating, prior to which we have to pass a core comprehensive exam.
