DD will graduate with a Major in Human Physiology, Minor in Spanish. She has the opportunity to complete a certificate in Public Health (12 credits) or get another minor in the Human Phys dept (Physical Activity and Nutritional Sciences). Assuming she has the grades, DAT scores, volunteer hours and dental shadow hours to make her a viable candidate, would either of these academic credentials enhance her application? And, if she fails to get accepted, make her a more marketable job candidate?
They could enhance an application to some extent, not by a whole lot (i.e., they can’t be used to compensate for poor grades).
