Harvard School of Public Health - SM 80 Credits Admit Rate

[holykrp]

Hello!

I am applying to MS/SM programs in Epidemiology and I have my heart set on Harvard due to some very specific research they are working on. According to their website, my stats fall between their 50th and 75th percentiles and they have a 32% admit rate. This makes me very hopeful, but I am getting skeptical. There is a blurb above their stats that they have a mostly self-directed applicant pool, so the stats could be inflated. Does anyone know how difficult it really is to get into HSPH, specifically for the SM 80 credits program(s)?

 

Thank you!
