Hi,
I'm finalizing my list of schools to apply to for the 2022-2023 cycle and I was wondering how to ensure I have a decent amount of "realistic" schools in the mix. I'm applying straight out of undergrad with a 3.2 cumulative GPA, 3.7 public health major GPA and research experience. From what I saw on the spreadsheet of SDN members who've applied to public health schools, most people with my cumulative GPA have been coming in with work experience of some kind. Finances are also a concern so places that offer institutional support would be a plus as well.
So far I've been looking at BU and a local state school, but my list still seems dominated by "reach" schools like Columbia and JHU. I'm interested in data analysis and health policy. Thanks!
edit: also my GRE is a 316, 5.5 AW
