Welcome to my channel. I am a physician with a dual MPH & MBA earned through the prestigious Sommer Scholars scholarship at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My academic journey includes acceptances from Ivy League institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, and I am currently deepening my expertise with a PhD at Johns Hopkins.
Here, we dive into the world of mentorship, graduate school life, PhD diaries, and engaging podcasts featuring international scholars. Not only will I share proven techniques and strategies for creating a compelling application package, but I'll also bring in program directors and admissions committee members to offer their unique perspectives on what it truly takes to gain admission into top-tier programs.
Join me on this enlightening journey.

This is an amazing content :) 🎉 Thank you 😊
Great interview with lots of insights. I'm also looking for DrPH opportunities. Not seeing a lot of funding opportunities. Where did she get a scholarship and was it a full scholarship?
Please what is the difference between a Drph and obtaining a FRCP public health in Uk via the medical residency (registra) pathway ?
Is this the full interview? Some discussions between the two are missing. For example, we don't get to hear Dr. Dickerson views on recommenders.
Really, you asked very crucial questions.
Thanks for sharing these insights
welcome
Isn’t gray hair & a happy face great .
Shes gorgeous thank you for making this interview😊
welcome
Amazing insights 🙌 Thank you Dr. Banda and Prof. Becky. I feel ready for my interview late this month
welcome
senior Banda can i get in touch??
Dr Banda, thank you. Please can WES US ICAP evaluation be sent to a university in Canada and vice-versa?
This video is so insightful, thank you Doctor. I have been wondering to know if master's applicants also get interviewed
Thanks and welcome
Thank you for this. I'm anticipating an interview, and this has helped me a lot with preparation.
Welcome.. all the best
Thank you all for watching… Dont forget to subscribe
Thank you for this interview. I have an interview next week, Your guest was so on point and my questions answered.
You’re welcome, best of luck with your interview!
Doc please I got my evaluation done and my due date to receive report has surpassed. What do I do in this situation because I haven’t heard from WES
Thank you so much, Dr.Banda, for this interview. Your guest was very gracious and reassuring in her responses. I thank her for that!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Thanks Dr Banda for organising this interview. Quite insightful. I chose faculty members by just looking at their publications and research interests without contacting them ab initio. Would you advise I contact them even though I have submitted the application?
welcome
If I have done transcript evaluation before, do I need to do another one when applying through SOPHAS. Also, can other NACES certified evaluations be used?
Thanks, what if I had done a change of name that is I bear my husband's Name which is different from the one on my certificates, how do I go about this
Thank you for this video. I have an Interview in 48hrs, and I was really nervous about it till I watched this video.
Good luck with your interview!
incredible conversation@Dr.Banda
Thanks for watching
I, Ottah Daniel is highly anticipating. I have an interview next tomorrow.
Thanks for watching and all the best
Thanks ❤
could u leave ur sop here dr
Pls sir how long does the evaluation takes before sent to the desired school
GPA, GRE Physics score, solid letters of recommendation, and your C.V. (curriculum vitae, or resume), highlighting publications and/or lab work experience. It also helps if you have T.A. (teaching assistant) experience. The Statemeng of Purpose, if it is read at all, carries very little weight.
My account stuck on first page , what should I do? And please let me know which degrees I should upload. I am applying for Ph.D in public health schools
i have been following Dr Banda for a while and with how he takes his time to explain in his videos and how compose he is , i immediately knew he was the one , love from Ghana
Honestly Dr Banda is the Best so far
Thanks so much, this was great
Nice 😊
What was the purpose of the BGM here actually!?
Dr. Banda, Nigerian Jollof is not a copy😄. Thank you so much for your wonderful work.
Thank you so much Dr. Banda. This is quite impactful.
Excellent 🎉 How many words and pages did this cost
My MBBS degree is annual system and my university is not inist what can i do
These videos are gold..
Thanks for sharing, God belss
This Interview has all answers to the zquestions I have always had in mind. Thank you Dr. Banda. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬
For schools requesting 400words SOP how do one put together this together ? Thank you for clarifying and helping out on this sir
Hmm
It's because you had practical experience
Insightful
You're such an inspiration to the rest of us Dr Ruguru🇰🇪🇰🇪
Thank you so much Dr. Banda. Very enlightening video as usual. Just for clarification; how do I address the recommendation letters to schools, from SOPHAS? The 3 letters will be uploaded on the SOPHAS platform, so does "To whom it may concern" suffice as an address ?
Very informative Dr. Please I'm Alex from Ghana and will appreciate if you could kindly review my SOP for me Thank you
This interview hits on the salient points. Thank you very much Dr Banda
Hi Dr, How to use SOPHAS Fee Waiver code for WES evaluation ( 80$) during WES evaluation?
I also want to know how to apply for waive.
Thank you sir for your insightful services. I was confused how to open and how to fill up all sections. I watch your videos and open my sophas account. Thanks a million
