Completed SOPHAS application (the centralized application service for public health schools and programs). Please see SOPHAS’ Instructions and FAQs page for further details.

Resume or CV

Personal statement

Official transcripts from each post-secondary institution attended (Applications with foreign educational credentials are required to submit a WES evaluation to SOPHAS.)

Three letters of recommendation

TOEFL scores from all applicants whose native language is not English and who did not receive the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree at an institution where English is the primary language of instruction. Applicants holding or completing only a graduate or professional degree from an institution where English is the primary language of instruction are still required to submit a TOEFL score unless the graduate program was four or more years in duration.  When ordering test reports from ETS, you must include the proper institution code for the SOPHAS application service (#5688). 

All official transcripts should be addressed to: 

SOPHAS P.O. Box 9111 Watertown, MA 02471-9111

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Important note for dual degree applicants.

All dual degree applicants are required to submit  separate  applications to both the MPH program and the partner program that participates in the dual degree you wish to apply to. You may find links to applications to those partners programs on the individual dual degree pages:

Medicine (MD/MPH )

Dentistry (DDS/MPH)

Wagner (MPA/MPH)

Nursing (MS/MPH)

• Social Work (MSW/MPH)

Application Tips

Apply early. ALL MATERIALS should arrive at SOPHAS at least four weeks prior to your earliest deadline. It can take up to 10 business days for items such as transcripts or money order payments to be marked as received by SOPHAS from the date they are mailed, and it can take up to FOUR WEEKS for your completed application to be processed and mailed to GPH. Submitting your materials early helps ensure timely processing and avoids costly delays.

Don’t wait for supplemental materials to submit your application. Do not wait for your standardized test scores, recommendations or other documents to be received by SOPHAS before submitting your application. Submit your application as soon as you have entered all required information; we may wish to begin processing your application right away and will add documents, recommendations and test scores as they are received.

Do not send any copies of application documents, as they will not be accepted as part of your application. SOPHAS will not accept faxes, photocopies, or unofficial documents. Notify your registrar that you need an official copy sent to SOPHAS; a request form can be found in the application’s Colleges and Universities section. 

After you have submitted your application, use the SOPHAS application system to check the status of your application instead of calling or emailing the admissions office. You can ensure all required documents are received and your application is being processed in the “My Status” section of SOPHAS. Check your status often until you application is complete. 

Please note that during certain times of year, due to extremely heavy inquiry volume it may take up to 1-2 weeks for email or phone inquiries to GPH’s admissions office to be responded to.

How Are Applications Reviewed?

The review process for the MPH program is comprehensive and holistic, taking into account all factors and experiences in a prospective student’s application. Our review of applications examines the following characteristics.

Transcripts : A bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited college or university, with no previous work and/or research experience required. Reviewers consider the overall GPA, as well as the academic rigor of the academic institution and any changes or improvements in academic performance.

We are interested in admitting candidates who have the potential to be global public health leaders. Evidence of leadership (during you educational experiences and outside) includes:

Charity/Volunteerism

Professional Associations

• Work as a Reviewer/Editor of any publications

Personal Statement

The personal statement is given considerable weight in the admissions process. We expect thoughtful and reflective answers and invite applicants to take this opportunity to creatively and honestly communicate their own engagement with global public health and interest in graduate study at NYU. Factors include:

Writing Ability : writing style, spelling, grammar, and conciseness

Substance : More compelling personal statements demonstrate how the student would benefit from the NYU MPH and that the applicant already has a sophisticated understanding of the field in which you are currently working or intend to work.

Congruence with Program Goals : Show an understanding of the degree and describe how the program’s mission and goals will help you achieve your professional and/or academic pursuits.

Ability to Follow Directions : The substance of each question in the prompt should be addressed either directly or indirectly somewhere in the statement.

Recommendations

Each of your three references should include a recommendation form and an accompanying letter of recommendation. Applicants who are currently students applying for a joint degree program, or who have graduated within the past three years must submit at least one academic reference. Other references should be from professional contacts, not friends or peers. Reviewers consider the following:

Strength of Recommendation : Recommendations should discuss/evaluate the applicants’ academic and/or professional qualifications and potential for success

Credential of Recommender: Is the writer a supervisor, senior professor, etc? Is the person qualified to make the recommendation?

Comparison to Others: how the recommender evaluated the applicant against others s/he has taught or supervised

Consistency: Recommendations that vary substantially in their overall evaluation may not show clear evidence of the applicant’s potential.

Work Experience

Applicants are asked to include their most recent resume or curriculum vitae so we may consider the following factors:

Public Health Experience : Does the applicant have prior work experience in public health or a related field and in particular, public health issues?

International Experience : Has the applicant worked internationally and/or in the US on international issues? Does the applicant show evidence of cultural competence?

Types of Positions Held : Does the applicant’s work history lend support for success in the program as well as success in a career in public health?

Publications : Although not required for admissions, reviewers consider any publications from the applicant, with particular attention to publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Application Deadlines and Review Timeline

Admission review is conducted on a rolling basis and in order of their receipt and completion. We encourage you to submit your materials as early as possible as admission offers are extended throughout the year and space will become limited as the deadline approaches. Please note that due to heavy application volume during certain times of year, admission decisions can take anywhere from three weeks to three months to be issued.

Applicants are notified of their admissions decisions via email sent to the email address entered into the SOPHAS application. NYU GPH no longer mails print admission letters except by special request. ►  August 17: Application opens

 SOPHAS application opens for spring and fall applicants to all concentrations.

►  December 15: Deadline for Spring

All applications are due for both domestic and international applicants, whether applying to an on-campus or online program for spring. ►  February 1: Initial deadline for Fall

Applications may be accepted after February 1st on a rolling basis for programs in which space remains.  This is not guaranteed, so we encourage interested applicants to submit their applications prior to the February 1st deadline.

U.S. News Releases 2024 Best Medical Schools

News provided by

Jul 23, 2024, 00:01 ET

Share this article

The latest edition highlights academic excellence, research impact and graduate placement success.

WASHINGTON , July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today released the 2024 Best Medical Schools in Research and 2024 Best Medical Schools in Primary Care . In each of these categories, the methodology was updated to recognize the top medical schools by placing them within four different tiers of performance.

"Choosing a medical school that complements a student's learning style and career goals is crucial for future physicians," said LaMont Jones , Ed.D., managing editor of Education at U.S. News. "U.S. News' Best Medical Schools is an excellent resource for prospective students to find comparable information they need for evaluating medical schools in one accessible place. This year's edition provides premed students with a great starting point for comparing competitive programs so that they can make the best decision for their future."

To help prospective students choose their best options, U.S. News produced two separate lists: Best Medical Schools for Research and Best Medical Schools for Primary Care. Both evaluated schools on faculty resources and the academic achievement of incoming students. The research-focused evaluation also factored in medical research grants, while primary care instead factored in graduate placement and practice in the primary care fields.

The 2024 Best Medical Schools methodology evaluated eligible institutions that submitted data to U.S. News. U.S. News believes that prospective students should have access to as much information as possible to compare schools they are interested in attending.

U.S. News did not include current data from the entire universe of medical schools. Instead, the 2024 Best Medical Schools for Research and Best Medical Schools for Primary Care ratings provide students with access to data from those schools which submitted their data to U.S. News. Schools that chose not to provide data are unranked this year.

The 2024 highest performing medical schools, presented alphabetically, are:

Tier 1 Medical Schools: Research

• Baylor College of Medicine
• Case Western Reserve University
• Emory University
• Hofstra University /Northwell Health (Zucker)
• Mayo Clinic School of Medicine (Alix)
• Northwestern University (Feinberg)
• Ohio State University
• University of California - Los Angeles (Geffen)
• University of California - San Diego
• University of California - San Francisco
• University of Cincinnati
• University of Colorado
