Thanks for your reply! I'm still torn between the epi and sociology program at UCSF. I'm going to reach out to their admissions soon to discuss which one would be better for me. My quant score is pretty miserable but I've decided not to spend more money/time on it. I studied for months and just think my test anxiety got the best of me on test day. I'm hoping my other qualifications will make up for the lowish score, but it's definitely something I'm worried about. I have almost 6 years of research experience and have been working 2 years post-grad with a famous researcher and have a few publications and posters. Are you an RN? Feel free to send me a private message to chat more specifically. Good luck with your apps!

I'm planning to apply to PhDs and one MPH program as a safety because I don't have a Master's. Anyone else trying to go straight to PhD without a Master's? It seems like public health schools are becoming increasingly less likely to accept people without. But here's hoping! Right now I am looking to apply to Berkeley, UC Irvine, UCSF, Columbia & Harvard, but this list is anything but definitive.
