That Bucket woman Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 So bear with me, I'm entirely new to the grad school application process. I just want to know how realistic I'm being applying this year. Undergrad: JHU Undergrad GPA: 3.72 overall, don't know what a major GPA is, but my BCPM is 3.68 Grad (for Master's in Health Sciences)- Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Grad GPA (so far): 4.0 GRE ( I don't know how good this is, took after three days of studying): Quantitative- 162 Verbal- 165 Writing unknown yet Related activities: 2 years of undergrad research, no pubs Master's thesis I started out pre med, so I have a lot of clinical volunteering, which I don't think will help much Tutoring adults for GED Programs I'm applying to: ( all for human genetics) 1.) JHU SOM 2.) WASHU 3.) UNH 4.) DARTMOUTH 5.) STONY BROOK 6.) ROCHESTER 7.) IOWA 8.) mount Sinai This list may seem strange, but one of the main reasons I chose it was because most of my top choices had deadlines that would pass before I could take the GRE. By the way, I just recently switched from being pre- med. I had med school interviews, but I could never answer the question of why medicine without struggling to find an answer. I've really always loved research, and know it's a better fit for me (for what it's worth, my MCAT score is 34Q- 13 PS, 8VR, 13BS). Is this realistic? Is my research too weak? Any advice would be welcome
Quant_Liz_Lemon Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 You should post this in whatever field your interested in. And no one outside of hopkins will know what bcpm means. In general, I suggest calculating your major gpa yourself; many programs require junior/senior gpa, major gpa, last 60 units gpa or some other arbitrary scale.
