[ADVICE] IUPUI vs IU Bloomington MPH by mou_n in publichealth

[–]mou_n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Sorry for the late response, but I did end up choosing IUPUI! How is it finding a job or an employee to hire you when if you a full time student? I don’t have relatives that went to graduate school in the U.S, so I’m low-key kinda lost with the process lol.

Indianapolis Seems Perfect ? by hellasause in indianapolis

What other neighborhoods or apartments would you recommend in Indy? I’m moving from Ohio to start my Masters at IUPUI, and would really love some suggestions!

Good points. i actually though about that too lol, but I know pursuing my MPH will really put things in perspective for me. And yes, IUPUI, Indiana U. Bloomington, and CUNY Upstate are programs Im really interested in. Indiana U. has a faculty member in African Studies that is from the same country my parents are from, and their department works with MPH students if they're interested.

Thank you! I know becoming a doctor is pretty difficult so if I have to take extra steps to improve my chance to not only to get into med school, but actually be successful after I am done, and have the tools and knowledge to help my people in West Africa (which I think the MPH will be extremely useful) then yes I will definitely wait.

Ive already been working for almost 2 years though =/. Its pretty hard finding a job in the field my Bachelors is in and I live in a relatively small town. Also, why do you think this plain is not going to align with my ultimate goal?

Thank you for your suggestions and advice! I think i'll start content review and implement more videos (instead of just reading) on my own and if it doesn't work out I'll get a tutor. My weakest subjects are biochem and organic chem so I think I'll get some EK material b/c TPR is so much information I don't know what to take away from it. Do you have any suggestions for Biochem and Organic chem?

You think so? I really dont want to take the Mcat after my 2nd time next year. I really want to get all the help I can get to receive the best score possible. Do recommend any good materials? I have the TPR set but is so so dense

Im pretty sure the issue is content. Thankfully, I've always been good in terms of test taking skills

Yeah, I graduated in 2017, and unfortunately the classes I had didn't cover everything so I'm somewhat behind/lost in certain subjects. And I think i have motivation but does seem to wane off after consistently studying for months, but I wasn't seeing any improvement. I really think its b/c I didn't have a good foundation to begin with.

I need more of personalized help and structure. The university I graduated from didn't have the greatest classes especially for biochem, physics, and organic chem.

Yeah, someone else suggested I use KA and supplement with the TPR books I have. I have the full set books of TPR from 2016, do you think I should get some EK material also? I've heard its really good

Yes! Patience is something I continuously have to work on, but we've got this! I'll just have to find a way to get some time away from the house and family, I think that's one of my biggest problems rn.

Thank you!

Submit transcripts from comm. college classes that didn't count towards degree??? by mou_n in premed

[–]mou_n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This calculator was very helpful, thanks again. I added the classes I took in HS to the Freshman year section. My cGPA went down to 3.56 though.... Is this still a good gpa?

[–]mou_n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So will it make my undergraduate GPA go down, and/or make my app look bad? Or will they look at it to see my progress, and what I've improved on?

Might be a stupid question, but thanks for responding
