[MPH 2014!!]

I'm super anxious. Finishing early means extra waiting time. It's slowly killing me. 

[Visit days?]

How was Columbia's? SOPHAS took all the money I would have used for travel.

[MPH 2014!!]

MPH, generalist track. It's rolling admissions and the final deadline is in August, so you have time to decide whether or not you want to add it to your SOPHAS stuff.

[MPH 2014!!]

Mine were also mailed out on 10/30 (today). I e-submitted 10/22, undelivered 10/27, and re-e-submitted 10/27....it's been a struggle with SOPHAS. I applied to Columbia, NYU, Mt. Sinai, BU, Rutgers, UPenn, Emory, Berkeley (ALA MATER! But wishful thinking...)

 

I really hope I get in somewhere haha. I'm wavering between confidence and complete despair now that I'm playing the waiting game. I'll reveal my stats when and if I get accepted.

 

Edit: I applied to a wide range of programs but half of them are epi, the other half would take too much effort for me to list out... I haven't decided if I want to pursue an MD at this stage, but I definitely want a PhD.

[SOPHAS pisses me off.]

If that's the case, I don't understand why SOPHAS can't forward the official transcripts to the schools. Submitting an official transcript and entering coursework seems so redundant. 

[MPH LOW GRE + LOW GPA & ACCEPTED. I DID IT - SO CAN YOU: The tale of the underdog applicant]

I graduated a year ago with a 2.8 GPA from a top university (honestly don't know if this holds any weight at all). Post-graduation I've gained 1 year of research experience (with one publication and poster to show for it), volunteered for about half a year at a major non-profit in which I got really involved, and some shadowing experience. My GRE scores are decent - competitive at some schools, average at others. I just submitted (or rather, re-submitted...damn SOPHAS undelivered my stuff...) my application and I'm hoping for the best. Your story brought me some hope. Wish me luck. I'm really anxious.
