Likelihood of Acceptance

[easybreezy]

Hey everyone! I know this may be a repetitive question, but this morning I just submitted my SOPHAS application to two schools and I wanted to know if the other application factors are stong enough to increase my chances of getting into Georgia State.  My stats are:

GRE: 145 V, 149 Q, and 3.0 Written (all horrible I know)

Undergrad GPA: 3.46

Letters of Recommendation: All are stong and include: one from a Health Promotions professor, one from a mentor who works at the CDC, and one from my supervisor/internship coordinator of a local public health department.

My major is Integrative Studies - concentrating in Exercise Science/Kinesiology and Psychology with a minor in Health Promotions.  The most experience I have had was completing an internship with a local public health department that was geared to underserved populations.  I work as a front office medical assistant and have worked at preschool for low-economic populations.

Georgia State's requirements are: 2.75 GPA, GRE scores within the 50th percentle but anything under 280 combined are unlikely to be considered, three LOR, and a letter of interest.  Am I good? I know it's too late now that I submitted my app, but wanted some feedback to rid the anxiety lol.

There's really no way to tell, just based on quantitative factors. It seems like you'll clear the GPA condition with ease, but I'd be a little worried about the GRE score and encourage you to try taking it again if possible. If your recommendations are strong and you have a good letter of interest, you may get in. I'm assuming that you're applying for a Master's degree, rather than a Ph.D., which Master's degrees are usually self-funded and less competitive than funded Ph.D. slots.

Yeah, I'm applying for a Master's in Public Health.  I wish I had time to take another GRE, but unfortunately, I don't.  I'm just crossing my fingers at this point.
