My GPA is lower than yours. Is there a difference between your undergrad GPA and SOPHAS? I started off strong and there are two semesters were I suffered from illness and my grades dropped. There is a visible upward trend. Coupled with being first generation American college student, I was very lost and did not know about the resources available or how to be a successful student.

My experience: one UN internship, one Red Cross, one internship for an East African NGO for WASH, one internship for a Central American NGO for surgeries in children, one mental health internship, one food justice internship, one internship in Switzerland for M&E at a well known NGO, volunteering at a food education program, volunteering to give vision screening to children, volunteering as a cancer support specialist, volunteering to create recipes for low-income HIV patients, research assistant at a hospital in a weight loss program, and I studied abroad in Asia in a public health program and wrote my own research paper. I'm trilingual. Would have had an internship at UNICEF on my resume but I could not fit the hours in my schedule.

My 2.8 GPA is what terrifies me. I am working towards getting a good GRE score, but I am not a good test taker and I am worried that nothing I donwill be enough to make up the Gpa.
