MPH!

To those who decided on mph at Saskatchewan, how do you like it so far? I'm wondering if I made a mistake

I couldn't get into SLP so i'm now doing my backup plan which I absolutely love. I can honestly say Brock has a very hard curriculum. I took a course there with a horrible professor, don't want to say names but let's just say her class focused mostly on the brain and it was absolutely horrible! That grade alone ruined my chances for Grad school in SLP. Just hang in there, if SLP is what you really want to do then don't give up. But if it doesn't pan out, there are tons of other fields especially in health care you can try shooting for?

Hi there! I've been accepted to many MPH programs specializing in Health Administration. However, I made a mistake and wish I applied to MHA programs instead. Is it easy to switch from MPH and MHA say after a semester in MPH program? Would I have to send a brand new application? If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know! Thanks!

YAY!! Congrats! What GRE scores did you have? So awesome!!

March 17th via email. Still haven't received an official letter in the mail though.

I want to work in Health Care Management or work in an area of Informatics. Anyone know whats a good way to work in the Informatics field? Should I be getting a fellowship/INTERNSHIP in Informatics after my MPH?

When is the last day to accept U of S's acceptance offer? I'm still waiting on US schools...

Yes mine still shows pending for file review and one transcript is still missing..i`m getting a little worried... do you know the average gpa required to get in..mines only a 3.3 for the last 60 credits

Thanks doingthings! Need to pester there more I guess...

I was going to but I missed the deadline. I was going to apply for the MBA/MPH customized program. Did you have a high GPA ? Mine is sub 3.0 =[

Hello, I'm applying to MPH programs in the US and I just got my evaluation back from WES. They did not include one school which I took a continuing education/non-degree/non-credit course. The grade I got was a DNW which is equivalent to the course not being completed. It holds no academic penalty. I contacted my prospective schools/SOPHAS/the school I got the grade from and all told me to talk to WES. I contacted WES a week ago and still have not gotten any response via writing an email/fax. What do I do? I need to submit these applications before the deadline and I am not sure what WES will do. The school said that they cant change the grade to anything else because it just simply states the course is not completed. SOPHAS says to talk to WES. The schools i'm applying to tell me to talk to WES as well. I'm listing this on SOPHAS but I dont want the schools not to accept me because of this one transcript missing. What should I do? Thanks!

Can someone get in with a 2.35 GPA (1st bachelors)/3.9 GPA second bachelors? I want to apply for Public health..looking at GWU or BU. I'm super nervous though. Need to rock the GRE's.

Hey guys, I am 25 years old and planning to go into Public Health. I tried to get into a Speech Therapy Masters program but it's so competitive and I'm looking at this field now as Plan B. My question is would it be career suicide if I don't attend a top 10 school? I have 2 degrees - a BA in English with low GPA and a second degree in speech language sciences with a 3.9 GPA. I plan to take a couple of courses and get A's and score a high GRE score. Also, I plan to volunteer for 6 months. I was looking at a couple of top 10 schools but if It's impossible for me to get in due to my first GPA then I was thinking of some top 20s, Hope to hear from you guys! Thanks!

I feel like it's my GRE scores that are not getting me in either. I was thinking of taking a Princeton Review course - anyone have any thoughts on this?

That`s a good question. Anyone know the answer..I have a B i need to repeat but I can`t take it where I did my 2nd degree as that GPA is set in stone. Plus does anyone know if Grad schools look at that badly by repeating a course many times or withdrawing from a course . .sorry for the run on sentence - my stupid question mark is not working on my keyboard

That's very true. Thanks for your advice, it gave me some perspective. Congrats on your acceptance to UW-Milwaukee!

True, I think the only thing i'm worried about is that they will calculate this General Ed course part of my 2nd bachelors GPA. I doubt they will, but you never know. I know a lot of people are taking Chemistry/Physics as part of their Grad curriculum because of the new ASHA regulations. It just sucks because i'm still trying to get in. This is my 2nd year applying lexical_gap and i've already been rejected to one graduate program so I guess I've started panicking because of this course and my rejection. Still waiting on more schools. :/

Thanks for responding lexical_gap. I am taking a physical science outside the 2nd bachelors to fulfil only ASHA requirements . I should have waited but you're right, it would look silly to drop it again because that could be looked at negatively by Admissions. I'm at a B+/A- right now but i'm just worried that if I do get a lower grade then Grad schools will not look at that as a favorable part of my application.

I decided to take General Chemistry online through a community college and having an incredibly tough time with it (4 hour with lab). This is the second time I'm taking it, last time I recieved a W before the deadline because I found it so tough. Does anyone know If I were to drop Chemistry and take it at a later date, would it look bad to the Admissions committee if I take the course after acceptance (if I were to be accepted) or since I have already attempted it i would have to finish it before I applied to the program. Hope someone can help! So confused on what to do. I am taking this course outside of my 2nd bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Thanks Mystique! Congrats on NYU - that's amazing!

Wow thanks for your response - Yes my GPA in my 2nd bachelors in the field is a 3.9 but my GRE scores were Atrocious - combined 298. I studied for a month and half and still did very poorly. I think I will have to take a GRE class and re-apply for Spring. Also, it sort of sucks because my first degree GPA was very bad < 3.0 so I have a lot of work to do in the next few months. It just takes so much energy to apply and get new LOR's! I wonder if my writers will even bother to write the letters again.

Mystique, Can I ask you what your GRE was and how you studied/how long for it? I think that's what is not getting me in. My GRE scores :/

Hello! I have an interview with Auburn University scheduled for next week and I was wondering if the admissions committee will ask questions on coursework i.e. articulation disorders or any other courses. The reason i'm asking is that I finished taking pre-req courses during the summer and I haven't read anything since then (just was working on applications!). A little worried on this! Thanks!
