It depends on the institution... different ones have different standards which should be listed on their webpages.

That depends on the university you apply to. I went on a fulbright. My advice to you is to look at the admissions requirements of at least three universities you wish to apply for, to get a ball park figure. Plus, when I applied, the embassy officials did ask my opinion as to where I wanted to go, and they expected me to have made some decisions. My choices were Ohio University, the Univerisity of Pittsburgh, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Duke. I got admitted into OU, Pitt and Duke. Mind you, GRE scores are important, but they are not the deal closer. Universities will look at your application documents, and will focus a lot on your career goals. Just be very clear about what you want and why. I wish I could tell you what my score was, but I can't remember. I think it was in the 800 range for the combined, which apparently was enough to get me in. Good luck.

What kind of experience should I get before applying for Masters in Public Health
What kind of experience should I get before applying for Masters in Public Health?
Well.. the program requires that I have some experience in public health.. does volunteering in a hospital or a nursing home considered experience in health?? Or do I have to do volunteer at programs where it deals with prevention such as HIV/AIDS?

Contact the program coordinator to find out their requirements. Since none of us know what program we can't answer your question.

If the program is asking for experience, it would be best to check with them about what they expect. If you have ideas, you can also check to see if those ideas meet their criteria, and you can ask for examples of what successful candidates have done in the past. Be specific about what you do - if you volunteer at a hospital, make sure it has relevance. Visiting with patients is great, but hardly MPH level. Discussing prescriptions and drug interactions would be much more relevant.

Can I get into grad school for Public Health
Can I get into grad school for Public Health?
Can I get into a Master in Public Health program? (assuming I meet the requirements i.e. GMAT, Letters of Recommendation etc.) The only problem is that I majored in Economics and minored in Psychology as an undergraduate. Even though psych is considered a "health related field", Economics is not, and I am afraid this will hurt my chances of getting into a MPH program. Responses appreciated!
