I will be taking part in a late visit to USC next week. Would love to hear from anyone who has visited USC for either of the visit days.

I am now between two schools. I am debating between USC and Cornell. Would love to speak to people who applied to either program and hear why they decided (or did not decide) to attend either school.

What were you between, or was UNC the clear cut choice for you?

I just want to thank you guys for posting in this forum! This has been extremely helpful. I am a undergrad junior and decided this semester to leave the PA/PT route and go into Health Administration. I will be applying later this year for Fall 2018. I'm really excited and definitely have much more confidence in my application.

Good luck to all of you!

Has anyone interviewed at Texas A&M Health Science Center for the MHA program? If so, can you describe your experience.

Hello,
Is anyone still waiting to hear back from schools? I have received responses for a majority of the programs but I am still waiting to hear back from Boston, Columbia, Florida and NYU.

When did you send in your applications?

 

[novagirl]

When did you send in your applications?

end of March for most of them!

 

[getitdone94]

I heard back from all of my program within a month. If you don't hear anything back by the first week of May get in touch with your program, and try to actually talk with like the program director or someone along those lines.

Anyone have any thoughts on Kentucky's program? They offered me in-state tuition and their campus is amazing, but their ranking isn't the best. I also got into SLU which is a top 10 program, but that tuition cost is hefty. I know ranking isn't everything, and that I determine my own future by how much work and effort I put into it, but I'm still concerned about my job/fellowship prospects upon graduating from a school that isn't ranked so high. Anyone care to share some insight? I've narrowed it down to these two programs, and I'm having a really tough time deciding and I've got to let the schools know of my decision ASAP lol. Thanks!!

I don't know anything about Kentucky but if there's that much of a drop off in program quality/job prospects I'd stick with the stronger program. Price tag aside you're still investing a great deal of time and hard work in these programs, so you want to make sure you're gaining the skills and connections you will need after you graduate. Also, no school can guarantee you a great future career but you're far more likely to get noticed at a top tier program than one that's mid level

Have you heard back from NYU yet?

 

[novagirl]

Have you heard back from NYU yet?

no, They said that they would get back to me by June 15th.

For anyone accepted into the UW MHA program, is anyone else having extreme clerical issues with the University of Washington?

 

[novagirl]

Did anyone apply to NYU's May 1st deadline? I know we hear back on the 16th of this month but I'm anxious. Has anyone heard back?
