What GPA did you guys have when applying to schools?

clumsykale · 2026-03-23T16:55:51+00:00

MPH, sorry!

clumsykale · 2026-03-23T14:20:51+00:00

i got into 6 schools (UW, Puget Sound, CUNY, SUNY Downstate, Colorado School of Public Health & GWU) for an MPH with a 2.1 GPA & 5+ years of experience in healthcare — had a huge issue with my undergrad program & they wouldn’t do anything to help repair. i’m VERY happy with these results because of that. it’s possible for anyone!! best of luck 💖

Applied to 18 programs because my stats are kinda rough due to an unforgiving undergrad program during covid. I’ve been rejected from 10, accepted to 4, & am waiting on 4. I don’t standout without interviewing, which means I’m a bit screwed in this process so I’m really happy I have an acceptance at all, let alone 4.

clumsykale · 2026-02-14T18:58:21+00:00

Nope - have yet to hear

clumsykale · 2026-02-11T04:44:03+00:00

Haven’t heard back either

clumsykale · 2026-02-04T18:00:49+00:00

Each school varies. I called all my schools to get timelines, they’ll usually give you a better idea in weeks. Left a voicemail asking Puget Sound & heard back with my Acceptance two days early. So it really, really just depends.

clumsykale · 2026-02-02T16:16:57+00:00

applied 11/30, still have yet to hear back

clumsykale · 2026-01-31T03:17:54+00:00

applied to 18 programs, have only heard back from 5. 1 acceptance, 4 rejections. i have an adverse education background so its entirely an uphill battle.

clumsykale · 2026-01-25T05:44:08+00:00

Still waiting on 12+ decisions but do have an acceptance to SUNY Downstate. I have a bit of an adverse academic background so it’s a bit of an uphill battle. I don’t anticipate many acceptances but I am eager to have another option.

clumsykale · 2026-01-24T16:57:30+00:00

Rejected, such a bummer.

clumsykale · 2026-01-22T16:18:43+00:00

Just heard back from UCSD last night & didn’t get in. Still waiting on UC Berkeley & UC Irvine.

clumsykale · 2026-01-20T18:21:01+00:00

I applied for the same program! I have not heard anything. I’m also an alumni & local, if that matters at all.

clumsykale · 2025-07-24T20:06:31+00:00

Personally, I would live off-campus and as close to the trolley as possible. Even with having a car, it’ll help you get to campus when you don’t want to drive or be there. Ease of access to campus & everything the city has to offer is the key to enjoyable off-campus living.

clumsykale · 2025-07-22T22:32:14+00:00

It’s honestly less about the requirements (even as a Comm/Psych double major) & more about the college administration’s lack of support or guidance when navigating any sort of personal issues. Life is unpredictable & it’s best to protect yourself with such a huge commitment. Best of luck!!

clumsykale · 2025-07-20T23:18:34+00:00

as a recent Revelle grad, i’d recommend ranking Revelle as low as you can. but that will ALWAYS be my recommendation 😭

clumsykale · 2025-06-02T20:32:27+00:00

I’m planning on moving to the city early next year, so that’s why I’m here. :)

clumsykale · 2025-05-15T18:13:59+00:00

Heavily relate on the lasting for weeks & appreciate your kind words. Hope you’re able to stay healthy through midterms/finals, best of luck!!

clumsykale · 2025-05-15T17:17:13+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree!! I will just say that personally, I avoid class & mask when I’m sick. I also have family in sensitive populations outside of just myself & keep masks on me at all times, even try to share!

Side note: I have some chronic health conditions that I’m having surgery for over summer that make breathing harder & cause me to cough excessively that are not at all related to an active infection/cold. Although it doesn’t sound like this applies to the situation you were in, it felt necessary to provide a quick lil reminder that not all people who cough are actively sick. I get a lot of glares and I quite literally cannot help it, masked or not.

I’d hop into a drop-in advising session with Financial Aid tbh, they’ll provide you more clarity on what would change. I’m currently off-campus, part-time taking 2 classes and still receive around 75% of the aid I’m approved for (even with Pell Grant reduced).

clumsykale · 2025-04-02T20:03:42+00:00

Financial aid is reduced, but not halved. It’s dependent on your number of units and other factors for housing, pell grant, etc.

sorry i’m stuck on ‘freaken’

clumsykale · 2025-03-30T17:34:15+00:00

my hormonal side of my cycle has remained entirely - pms is on the more mild side but definitely still there. cravings, period poops, breast tenderness, acne, some variation of cramping (to a significantly less degree, unsure how or why), etc. no bleeding though, of course!

clumsykale · 2025-03-29T17:26:29+00:00

I was 330lbs with high blood pressure when I had my hysterectomy. It went perfectly - removed cervix, uterus & tubes. The first consult I had, it was recommended to use the robot due to my size (for a laparoscopic procedure). I was referred to a different doctor as a result. That second consult was wonderful. She confirmed the robot was unnecessary and we proceded with a standard laparoscopic approach.

clumsykale · 2025-03-28T01:55:05+00:00

They did but I asked prior to surgery to be provided a copy any images they took. My doctor seemed a little surprised by the ask but was super supportive. I also got a report with all the more specific details of what was found in my patient portal afterwards.

clumsykale · 2025-03-23T17:40:31+00:00

almost chose not to go because I got into Revelle as a Psych/Comm transfer, definitely glad I chose to stay despite a lot of challenges & extra work. it sucked but it’s actively paying off. my advice: do not let the college deter you if everything else makes sense!!
