Hello everyone!
International applicant here, currently doing MSc in Health Behaviors and Community Sciences NTU Taiwan (CEPH Accredited)
But I am currently applying for MSc U of A, MPH UVic, and MSc Simon Fraser
I was doing my bachelor in Agriculture Economics, which is completely irrelevant to Public Health ? But I made it to NTU's MSc in Health Behaviors.
Here's my profile:
Can speak 3 languages fluently: English, Indonesian, and Chinese
GPA 3.2, but I got A+ in public health-related classes (Global Health, Multicultural Health in Urban settings, Health Psychology, and A- in Biostatistics
I have participated in 2 research projects; biomedical related (2017) and another one is public health-related (migration and health), both served as research assistant and interpreter. Working with qualitative research
Currently joining a research lab working with mental health and suicide prevention
Teaching Assistant experience in Public Health related class.
Internship at a non-governmental organization in Taiwan that focuses on Southeast Asian migrant workers' empowerment in the research team and social media promotion divison.
Active in participating human rights forum, volunteer activities, and diplomacy seminar.
I'm quite nervous since my background is irrelevant to public health and I haven't published any paper at all. Moreover, I feel like my experiences are not directly relevant to public health.
Does my profile competitive enough for MSc/MPH program?
Best of luck for everyone!!!!
