  1. So after lots of deliberation, I feel like it's come down to between BU and Pitt for my MPH.BU is stupid expensive, but somewhere I've always wanted to go. Affording the overall living expenses and tuition will be hard my on family, but they'll make it work, as always. I love that it's a core program and how the certificates work, and I've heard nothing but good things about the campus, faculty, etc. Pitt is great - I've visited the campus, so I know what to expect and it's honestly beautiful. And much cheaper to live and get to as well. But there's not as many hospital connections, and it worries me. What sets each program apart? Is there a clear cut winner in the job field? Please help!
  2. Thank you so much! This is the route I'm planning on right now.
  3. That's the thing, I really thought I would hate research but I have loved working my labs and at my internship...I just think interaction is something I really need in my career. Hence the debate between an MPH/Ph.D. One of my professors told me to look into getting a Psy.D but I've heard so much negative thoughts about the Psy.D, so I am just not sure.
  4. That's what I had figured. Thank you so much!
  5. I am currently a senior at university.I have a major in Psych and a minor in Health Systems Management, (hospital management) and was planning on working either during or before graduate school.I want to just gauge my options here because I know for a fact that my GPA isn't the strongest. I'd just like feedback on if I should focus on working out of college and then applying to clinical programs after? Personal problems freshman year and then I was Pre-med before doing my Psych major which didn't help my GPA at all. Lots of C-'s, C's, and B's, until Chem destroyed my sophomore year GPA. Switched to Psych and HSM and I've been on an upward trend since, but it's not a competitive GPA.2.781 cum3.3 for my last three consecutive semesters (so minus freshman and one semester of sophomore year)3.67 minor GPA (all A-'s)3.01 major GPAI am expecting all A's/A-'s this semester. 12 credit hours. I have two years of research experience where I have worked in the same lab in visual cognition with an amazing professor who would be willing to write a letter of rec. I am also doing research with a professor this summer in anger in children from hostile areas, along with being proficient in SPSS and doing an internship that focuses on research for gathering data for neonatal fetal alcohol syndrome.GRE scores are 154V, 149Q. AWA is 5.0. I think it is possible to get up to 160V and 152ishQ.My writing skills are amazing, as are interview skills.I am looking to work for a year/two before applying to programs, but I was also wondering if I could get into a program now? My background primarily is in psych; what is the worth of MSW/MPH degrees? Are dual MPH degrees worth it? I was considering a Social and Behavioral Sciences MPH and then applying to get my Ph.D in psych, as I really think clinical work is what I would be happy doing - but I also see a huge appeal in the policy work in mental health reform.
