Hi, I'm a third year at U of T and I am looking to get some feedback on the strength of my application for MPH programs. I haven't taken the GRE yet, so I don't have that information for you.
CGPA - 3.29
References: Professor of Public Health, Director of Research at a hospital and the last one will likely be a professor.
Public Health Experience:
Research Assistant - Large Specialized Hospital, Regional Hospital, HIV Prevention Lab, Waterloo School of Public Health, Department of Psychology, and Munk School of Global Affairs (with a published paper).
Management - Organized and coordinated a public health project aimed at treating diabetes patients.
Relevant work and extracurricular experience:
- Fundraising Supervisor for a large charity;
- Worked at a medical clinic for five years;
- Editor-in-chief of student newspaper;
- Executive on two student organizations and a local charity.
I am applying to...
- UBC MPH (Healthcare Services and Systems)
- UBC MHA
- U of T MPH (Policy or Promotion)
- Waterloo MPH (not sure)
- U of Alberta (Health Policy and Management)
- Dalhousie MHA (not sure about their MPH)
So, how are my chances? What kind of experience should I gain to strengthen my resume? What is a safe range for my GPA?
My preference would be to attend UBC - MHA or Alberta, but if anyone knows of other schools I should consider...please let me know.
