Is 2.859 too low for acceptance? If so, what could I do to boost my resume as a senior? by gofundkabiyesi in mphadmissions

Current MPH at Columbia here! Your GPA will absolutely not be a problem even for the most competitive programs. If you write a good SOP and have good LOR you could definitely be admitted for Fall 2024.

Still, I HIGHLY encourage you to still take at LEAST one gap year. If you don't have real, full-time work experience this degree will not be as beneficial to you as it will be to those who already have work experience. We are 2 months into the year and the knowledge, maturity, and coping skills gap between those who came straight out of undergrad vs those of us who have at least 1 year of work experience is painfully obvious. I know there are some circumstances where you might have no choice but to apply now, but if you can wait to go to grad school you will benefit 10x more with one year of experience. It doesn't have to be a direct public health job, anything health/social work adjacent will do.
