Hi guys ,
I was wondering if I could ask you guys how competitive I am to get into an MPH. I'm really hoping to get into a 1 year program outside of Chicago such as Columbia, Harvard, or elsewhere...but I'm concerned because I don't really have any work experience in the public health field. I am a second year med student but I took a year off between my first and second year just to relax and I'm concerned that I don't really have the experience they are looking for. I'm also worried my verbal score will keep me from getting into certain programs.
my stats:
Undergrad: Northwestern - Biology Major
GPA: 3.94 MCAT 31Q V: 7 P: 11 B: 13
Med school: M2 currently at University of Illinois at Chicago
I figure I have 8 months until I apply to the program but I'm not sure what I should do to get recs and also what kind of experiences will help supplement an interest in international health and public health. Any suggestions or feedback would be really appreciated
Thanks!
