If she doesn't get in anywhere, then it might be worth looking for gold stars to add to her application- and really, she could do graduate level courses that "could" count toward a Masters of Public Health or something like that (even a cert) just to show that she's moved upward and onward. If she is burning time between now and an acceptance letter, she could at least accumulate NEW credit. I know that's kinda expensive, but Warguns just posted 10 Cheap Online Graduate Education Programs for Out-of-State Students over on DI forum, just something else to throw in there.
Thanks for this info. I'll pass it along. This was part of her undergrad, so I think that she should be able to sell herself with an otherwise good GPA and her 10+ years of experience in healthcare (CPhT). Getting some graduate-level credit toward an MPH isn't a bad idea at all, as it looks good on the application and offers a backup option of moving into healthcare administration.
