@juillet if you could please comment :slight_smile:

Thanks for pinging!

I can’t really reliably speak to your chances, if that’s what you want, or which university is likely to call you back. I will say that you are a pretty competitive candidate - public health programs value experience and clinical practitioners are especially likely to get in (because it’s desirable for clinicians to have public health knowledge). You also have a solid research background and good community outreach work, which PH programs tend to like. Grades are good but GRE scores are a bit low - however, I’m not sure how much Canadian programs value GRE scores. So I’d say you look like a great applicant (GRE scores aside) that’ll probably be admitted to some good MPH programs.

Thank you for your valuable feedback @juillet :slight_smile:
I have heard its very competitive to get into MPH, I wanted some guidance regarding the admission criteria, which you have mentioned :slight_smile: Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
