<p>Hey everyone. I applied to the "International Health" program at the school of Nursing and Health Studies. Tell me please, what sort of SAT Scores, academic record, extracurricular activities, awards, teacher recs, etc are they looking for? Any special aspects of a person? what sort of people get accepted? </p>
<p>BTW, i applied regular decision, and I was deferred from Cornell. To give u some insight into who i am, i have done neuroscience and lupus research at two medical labs, and have been politically active. My family circumstances are very unique (personal matters) and my essays expressed my interest in combining health and law/politics. And i can speak 3 languages (english, spanish and russian)</p>
<p>you shouldn't have a problem getting into NHS if you have a strong background in the sciences, can demonstrate specific reasons why you're interested in the program, etc. SATs should be in the high 600s-low 700s, solid scores in science classes, recs from science profs are good, etc. I was a psych major in the College last yr, but switched into International Health in NHS. Best decision I ever made. the first program of its kind in the country, awesome classes, unique research experience abroad senior yr(which you present to the faculty of ihealth/NHS when you get back second semester), internships built into the major, great faculty(with tons of research experience, both past and ongoing). I really love NHS and all the undergrad majors(nursing, international health, human science, healthcare management and policy) are great.</p>
