Yeah, I dont know the area at all (im from Cali). Im looking for something in that price range that is a reasonable commute to Mt Sinai hospital. Any ideas?

Unfortunately this is not available for MPH students

No in N out...wow that is terrifying. Maybe places in NYC can make some makeshift animal style fries Have you figured out where the best area is to live? In terms of price vs commute etc

What part of LA? I'm from San Diego but went to undergrad at UCLA so I know the area. Honestly, I really like Sinai . The only thing really deterring me is the cost of living and the weather (stupid, i know lol). I've always wanted to live in NYC though, just not sure ill be able to adapt to the cold! Where are you finding an apt? Craigslist is filled with scams and "Broker fees". Seems impossible to get a studio for 1000 or less! Also, how are you gonna move all your stuff out there? As you can see, Im a pit panicky when considering the thought of moving cross country

Probably UCLA or Claremont, but considering Sinai as well (im from Cali). I've been looking into housing in nyc just in case. Seems impossible. What are you doing for housing?

Thank you unfortunately, I have had a few too many tacos in my day Where are you planning on attending?

I am trying to find a studio in/near the upper east side for around $1,000-1200. Seems impossible

I was also accepted here, although I can't seem to find any information on the "prestige" if you will, of the program. Kind of making me hesitant to attend

Hey guys, don't get down on yourselves. I am writing this to let you all know there IS hope. Just keep your head up and apply (relatively) broadly! I graduated with a 2.39 in Microbio, which SOPHAS upped to a 2.58. Along with a 303 GRE (155 V, 148 Q, 5.0 AWA). Only about a semester of research, and a handful of hours volunteering. And zero, I repeat, zero work experience. I graduated last year and have spent this year traveling. I remained confident and was able to articulate WHY I wanted to study public health and what my ultimate goals were. I cannot overstate the importance of this. Schools want to know that you are driven and have a fleshed out plan for your future. I applied to the following: Pitt, GWU, Columbia, NYU, Mt Sinai, Emory, Boston, UCLA, Claremont, UC Berkeley, and Temple. I was accepted to: Pitt, Emory, Sinai, UCLA, Claremont, and Temple. I was waitlist at NYU and rejected by the rest. One thing that I did was after each school emailed me to confirm that they received and are reviewing my application, I emailed them back to highlight specific reasons why I wanted to attend that school and what specific interests in the field of public health I am looking to get into. I strongly believe that this shows both enthusiasm and true interest. In summary, no matter how low your stats may be.....bet on YOURSELF, not averages!
