Urbancowgirl09 '21–'22 app cycle Class of 2025 class year

Shoot your shot!!

Post-cycle doxx:

I have a BS in Public Health from UT Austin and a MPH from UTHealth Sciences Center at Houston. 3.66 and 4.0 GPAs, respectively. My undergrad courses were all pre-med (think ochem, biochem, anatomy and physiology, etc.) which kinda prevented my GPA from being super high.

Few years of work experience in health/medical field. Did research assistant for a lab in undergrad, worked at a doctor’s office full-time in undergrad and got a lot of experience in the administrative side of healthcare. I did my MPH practicum with a nonprofit focused on reducing medication harm, did a needs assessment and policy brief for my deliverables. Also have a lot of volunteer hours from being a member of multiple service orgs. Most recent postgrad job working as epidemiologist/emergency preparedness specialist at a local health dept in a moderately large county (~650k people). Lots of technical writing, independent work, and working with the DSHS, CDC, DHS, and some other heavy hitters. I honestly think this helped me overperform my stats a bit.
