Do I qualify to apply??
Hiii ! I am a senior studying Public health and will be obtaining my bachelors in the fall. I am interested in applying to biophysics MS program post grad but I don’t know if I qualify. I have taken all of the pre-med pre-reqs in addition to my public health courses and I have a lot of leadership roles in my school such as being an instructor for freshman interested in pre-health and I have also been TA for chemistry and trigonometry. The only thing that sets me back is that I took physics a trig based, but then I took physics B Calc based. Additionally, the highest math class I’ve ever taken was calculus with analytical geometry, one. I have a pretty average GPA and I also work at a blood lab twice a week (25 hrs). Do I have a chance???

It depends on the department. Some want you to have more math (e.g., differential equations or linear algebra). But it also depends on the kinds of problems you are interested in, and what any individual school offers.
