I have a MPH with a GPA of 3.94. I understand that my GRE is bad but given this is EOY, I am so swamped at work that I’m half dying. I would love love to get scholarships though.
My why? I am an epidemiologist who pivoted into data analytics to be able to utilize my quant skills but DA is just not how I see myself and I’d like to move back into healthcare, albeit the pharmaceutical/business side of it hence MBA.
EC: I actually volunteer to help international student qualified under certain immigration categories petition for green cards. I volunteer with my local group and volunteer with Food for the Hungry in sponsoring a child in Bolivia. In the past, I’ve worked with children of immigrants to learn ESL.
I don’t want to rewrite GRE because there’s no time to improve my scores in time to submit for Round 2. Am I reaching?

The MPH GPA of 3.94 will pair with your strong ugrad GPA and suggest you are a very good student - assuming ugrad was a challenging major and that you have attended decent schools. ECs sound very strong too. Ideally your work experience to date has been strong - and you've had enough time to demonstrate leadership and have an impact?
Overall, assuming good execution on the applications (compelling essays, great LORs, etc.) you should be competitive at many of the schools on your list.
Best of luck and happy Thanksgiving!
