<p>D is applying at several schools for an MPH. Deadlines vary by schools; some are in January, some in February, and some run all the way to the spring – but are rolling admissions. D has found that the MPH program emphasis varies by school – she is interested in childhood obesity & Diabetes, so is only applying to schools with those specialties. Some programs are geared more for those who are already MDs or have several years of experience. D is applying to go directly out of undergrad, so that is also a consideration for her. She researched not only the actual program but also where grads tended to end up – both location-wise and job-wise. She is taking the GRE today.</p>
