I will graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in microbiology from the University of Georgia. What are the chances of being accepted into a graduate program for Public Health? I have a 3.2 GPA, and will have good recommendation letters. Would students who have undergraduate degrees in other disciplines, such as administration, etc. be accepted before me? Thank you for your feedback! :)

You have a good shot. Get the information on the graduate program for Public Health, and see if you can fulfill the admission requirements. If you see some requirement that you think you cannot fulfill, do not give up ! Phone the deans office for the program for Public Health, and ask to speak to someone about the admission requirements and your qualifications. If you want this, push for it. Part of being in a responsible position, is knowing when to push and when to be flexible. I suggest you compose a letter, writing why you want to do this and what your plans and goals are. Once you have it written down, read it over a few times and rehearse it. Then if you do meet with the dean regarding admission, you will have yourself prepared to make your case. I wish you success in your worthy endeavor.

Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? You have a science background! They will accept students with degrees in other fields, but they secretly love the science people. What they look for is a mix of skills, and it will depend on your field as far as what you concentrate on in grad school. You will learn about policy and admin, but the cool thing about grad school is that you'll meet (and be able to learn with and from) students with different backgrounds and strengths. Best of luck! If you haven't the GRE yet, good luck with that too!
