Yes it is and I think it's better.

They aren't looking for perfect. They are looking for leaders and those who stand out

That's right. Get a great score in TOEFL and GRE first. I may likely introduce you to someone who studied at Harvard, if only I'll be part of your clique when you procure Admission.

I realize most people on this website think Gre and toefl are the only things that matter in graduate admissions. Especially to top or ivy league schools.

How wrong!!!

Granted you must score within 95+ percentile in both sections of the GRE.
But guess what? So will other candidates. If you're looking to use test scores as your edge when applying to Harvard or princeton then you're sorely mistaken. There will always be others who will score perfect in all three areas.

Your Gpa matters. If you're not first class, I don't think you should apply to Harvard or Princeton first of all. I mean you could try but you'd certainly have an uphill task and that means your gre and toefl must be perfect.

Research experience. How much TANGIBLE research work has he done in his field?
What about first paper publications and conference presentations?
Any internships?
Any honours?
Are the recommender professors who are grounded in the given field?

After all these then you have a grueling Skype interview with the admissions committee.

Then there's funding. Harvard, princeton, Yale are bleeping expensive. If you're not funded, it's almost 10M per year. That's not beans. To be funded by ivy league schools is even harder than the admission.

I'm not discouraging anyone from applying to ivy league schools. I attend one but I know what i went through. Please you have to know what you are and what you can offer.
Don't waste your application fee on harvard ($100-150) when you know you can't even crack 166-170 on the GRE verbal and quantitative or can't get 110+ in toefl or you don't have a close to perfect GPA.

Managing expectations is a wise thing

Helo edib. Thanks for the insight into ivy league admission. I'm applying for MPH. My data is as follows: GRE: 313 (157V, 156Q), awa 3.5, Toefl 108, GPA 3.32. By the way I studied medicine. I applied to Harvard and some other ivy league with the Hope of getting funded. From your analysis, does it mean I ain't qualified for admission talkless of funding? I'm confused cos I've a friend that got admission much less scores.

Hello
The field of public health is somewhat different
Public health problems are more concentrated in developing countries so they must recruit student from these countries.

Basically you're competing with other Nigerian applicants so if your credentials exceed theirs, then you're good. I have a friend from uch who was partially funded at Harvard HSPH. He was very bright though.

Your stats are cool.
PS. Check Harvard shool of public health to see the average gre scores of previous applicants and compare it to yours

Goodluck man.

@dicapino

Lol. How far Na.

Have you applied? .
You didn't even wish ur guy happy new year with e-shayo

No be so life be sha..

By partial funding you mean like How much % of the total tuition? The reason I applied HSPH is because I discovered its well funded. The chances of getting funding is higher as opposed to mid to lower level schools. I understand that ivy leagues are damn expensive but with funding, the cost of attendance would equal or even become less than that of attending a lower school.

bignyash:

Lol. I've already applied. I have admission from two non ivy league though modest schools. But I'm sb that believes in going for the best. Y travel all the way from Nigeria to attend a back water school? Even with an immigration intent, who said you can't attend a superb school n still get ur papers?

I know he had like 1500 on the old gre.
He got full funding at john's Hopkins and partial at Harvard.
He did take a loan to attend Harvard.
It's the only school I know where intl students can take private loans. (you can explore this option too just research about it)

You can ask more about the private loan option when you mail the mph graduate coordinator at Harvard.
MPH at Harvard costs around $50000 per year. Very expensive
So Make sure you have a funding plan. In case you don't get funding. They partially fund the 'best' candidates.

I don't have more info now, I haven't spoken to the guy this year. We're forming big boy for ourselves unfortunately. Lol.

Lol @forming big boy for yourselves! Do you have an idea on why he didn't attend John Hopkins even with the full funding? That sounds strange because John Hopkins is one of the best in the world!
