How about someone applying to PhD in Health Policy?
I am applying to UC - Berkeley's HSPA
John Hopkins PhD Program in Economic Evaluation and Policy
And some other public policy programs that have a concentration on health policy (chicago, princeton)
I really have no idea how strong/weak my app is
I have an undergrad in economics with a math minor GPA 3.3 and major GPA 3.6
I have a masters in economics from a top 10 econ dept GPA 3.2
I have 4 years of research experience at health policy/economics centers (2 in the states, 1 in spain)
I have published 1 paper in a peer-reviewed paper, co-authored with a very important health economist
GRE
750 quant
480 verbal
5.0 analytical
What are the backgrounds of people applying into health policy PhDs?
For me, I am switching from economics to health policy, but I personally wouldn't think I am competitive for say, a top 10 economics phD program. So for instance, do these programs, John Hopkins, Berkeley, Harvard that have the economics concentration, would being admitted into those mean that you **could** potentially be admitted into their econ depts?
cause if that's the case, then chances are waaay slimmer... :roll:
