I attended a Big 10 University from 2000 - 2004 and did not complete my degree. I was a Physiology major and was planning on going to pharmacy school. After working in a pharmacy for 3 years, a research lab for half a year, and now owning my own small business, I've decided to return to school to finish up my degree in Communications instead of Physiology (I've finally accepted the fact that sciences/math aren't my forte - GPA when I left school is just under a 3.0). I will be starting school again in the Spring of '09 and will be done in the Spring of 2010.
Upon completion of my degree, I am planning to pursue an MPA - Health Policy & Management and specializing in International Health at NYU - Wagner. I've always had an interest in health and health care and I'm able to speak several Asian languages fluently so I'd like to put my skills & interests to use.
I don't have much experience in the non-profit sector. Besides the work experience I've listed previously, I was an undergraduate research assistant in the school of social work in 2003 and I've also volunteered at a hospital and will be volunteering with the American Diabetes Association.
Any suggestions as to what I should be doing from now until I apply to strengthen my application?
