Hi, I am planning on applying next year for MPH. Got really anxious after reading through this thread so I was hoping if anyone here could give me an idea of what they think about my profile:
cGPA: Around 3.0 (very low I know but I flopped the first two years)
Major GPA: Not sure yet, as I am completing another two terms, but in my 3rd year I had a 3.75. Hoping to finish up with 3.8 for my last two year GPA.
Extracurriculars:
- Recently started working on a research project which deals with public health. Looking at possibly publishing a paper sometime this year, I will be 2nd or 3rd author so maybe it won't be as significant.
- Hospital Volunteering for a year.
- Vice President of Volunteering Club (3 years in total as an executive member), where I volunteered in many events such as the Toronto Humane Society, Yonge St Mission, etc, Salvation Army, Soup Kitchens, etc.
- Part of Student Association for my major at the University for 2 years, helping to organize conferences and research seminars.
- Other irrelevant stuff: Paid Language Assistant at University for a year/ helped to spearhead & coordinate a Foreign Language teaching program at the University since its beginning and for 3 years afterwards/ pharmacy assistant for a year and a half.
I feel like my extracurriculars are all over the place without a specific goal in mind. What would you suggest to strengthen my application?
After looking at all the amazing profiles on this thread, I just feel really insecure about my own.
Hoping to get into SFU MPH!
