bona_verba Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hi All, I'm preparing for reapplication and trying to come up with a list of schools which really take the time to look at their applications and may also have a strong public health interest. so far i can list: UKY JMC any other suggestions?

rmitch8 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I know that Columbia and Hopkins both have very good schools of public health. I don't know how hard they look at Canadian apps though, as there don't seem to be too many invites this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Columbia is very Canadian friendly. Hopkins is also pretty Canadian friendly, provided you have a good app. When I was applying, my classmate at UBC got in and matriculated, turning down offers from Harvard, UBC, UT and other US schools.

bona_verba Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Tulane is big on public health i think tulane is a little different though. they don't REALLY read your app. they just kinda skim through your secondary and depending on the mood of the day make their entire determination about you. they might say they're big on public health, and yes they have a very resourceful school of public health, but sadly med admissions.. aren't really trying to judge your interest in public health.. maybe in community service.. and music and athletics and teach-for-america.. but not public health, imho.

Unless you have some inside adcom information that we're not aware of, I don't think there's any way to tell whether or not schools intensely scrutinize your applications pre-interview. For public health, GWU definitely emphasized opportunities for that on my interview day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will be hard to find as i think most schools want people with a variety of experiences to make up their class. i'm not sure why you say it is 'sad' that schools are not looking for this particular attribute? i think they look at all experiences not just 'music, athletics, etc' that make up a well rounded applicant. Also, where do you get the info about tulane not 'really' looking at their applications??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
