MSW-MPH

Hey Folks, Just adding my voice to the Fall 2010 (for Fall 2011 admission) applicant list. I have my MSW and have worked for the past 10 years in the field of addiction treatment and then medicaid programs aimed at increasing participation in preventative health services, connecting to community resources, and thereby reducing acute care utilization. As I'm moving more and more into the sphere of public health (and wanting to move into leadership and policy opportunities), I decided it's probably best to go for an MPH in addition to the MSW. So, I just took the GRE - did decently on the Verbal but, well, uh, my Quant really sucks. Really sucks. I was really aiming to apply for programs now (HSPH deadline of 12/15, BUSPH 2/15) for possible admission in fall of 2011. But, wow, now I'm worried about the quant score. My partner is a HGSE grad (2005) and says his GRE scores were in the same ballpark as mine - and he was an econ major at Northwestern so his quant score *should* have been higher. And yet he got in. So I'm thinking the SOP will mean the most in the whole package, along with professional experience of course. I've been out of undergrad for 15 years now, so I'm not sure how much that comes into play, though my gpa was good. I'm mostly chiming in to say hi, but am also open to feedback if ya'll think it would be best to hold off until I can potentially get the Quant score up? Thanks!
