I'm in my third year at the University of Toronto. I will be taking the GRE over the summer and possibly again in the fall (depending on how the first attempt goes).
I am applying for MHA programs in the States.
Here's a summary of my qualifications:
GPA: ~3.2 (will finish this year with as low as a 3.19 and as high as a 3.28)
Professional Experience:
Physician's Assistant (5 years)
- Managed flow of patients, did travel consultations
- Ran a preventative program for ~400 diabetes patients (which led into my next job with the clinic)
Health Promotion Coordinator (2 years)
- Ran campaigns for: shingles prevention, mindfulness therapy, bone marrow donation
Fundraising Supervisor
- Personally raised about $35 000 in a summer
Fundraising Specialist
- Started recently, so not a lot to say just yet haha
Research Experience:
RA for...
- Large specialized hospital (breast cancer epidemiology)
- Local hospital (health services research)
- HIV Prevention lab (mental health and HIV prevention)
- Psychology lab (developmental psychology)
- School of Public Health (nutritional health)
Published in a journal on public policy with group on campus
Extracurricular:
Editor-in-Chief of student newspaper (budget of $15 000)
Executive on a few student groups
Executive on a local charity for two years
So that's what I have done...here's where I want to go...
MHA
Tulane
UNC - Chapel Hill
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Georgia State
San Diego State
Washington
Michigan
Memphis
I would love to get into Tulane or Johns Hopkins, but I would also be happy at any of these schools.
Anyways, what are my chances? Other than the obvious (improve GPA/high score on GRE), what can I do to improve my application?
