Hi everyone, my name is Natnael Girmaye (he/him/his).

My home country is Ethiopia, I’m a prospective graduate student of MPH in health policy analysis for fall 2023. I’m excited to be here.

Hi my name is destiny and my graduate year is 2024 but I want to graduate early but I want to study DBBS

Hello everyone! I am Dr. Fahima Bushra, a dentist from Bangladesh. I am currently doing a Master's in Public Health in my country and would like to pursue a Ph.D. in Public Health from WashU. I use the pronouns She/her/hers. I have two questions to ask. 1) Since my MPH won't be finished before January and the deadline for application is December 1, is there any way to consider unofficial Master's transcript, before I can submit the official transcript from WES? (2) I don't have any research publication yet. What should I do about the "Writing Sample"?

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a certified language coach and professional life coach. I'm from Russia, Siberia, Tomsk. Lived and worked in Beijing, China for three years before the pandemic. I'm applying for MSW at Brown School, and I'm interested in Social and Economic Development (International) with Social Entrepreneurship specialization. I would like to shift and enhance my career track to work particularly with migrant populations (immigrants and expats) to contribute to their mental health and wellbeing and maximizing human potential in a new setting. Happy to see the Brown School representatives and students today to get the feeling of the school :)

Thank you for your question, Fahima! If you are able, please enter your questions in the Q&A section and we'll be happy to answer them.

Hi eveyone, my name is Natnael Genene (he/him/his). I’m a physician from Ethiopia, and a prospective graduate student of MPH in Health Policy Analysis for fall 2023. The health policy program at your school took me by surprise as it relates to my previous work in quality improvement and health reform initiatives. Thank you for this helpful webinar.

Hi Mackayla, happy to see you are from Beijing, loved the international and authentic vibes of that city :) Missing it a lot.

There are lots of interesting dancing classes & cooking classes & events at the gym. Most of them are free!!

Hi Natnael, thank you so much for joining us! We're really glad that you're interested in the Health Policy specialization in our MPH program.
