Is applying to your alma mater for grad school a bad thing?
I graduated in 2015 with my bachelors degree in Biology. I m applying to my alma mater for graduate school, but for Public Health. I know some schools will quickly reject alumni, but if I am applying for a different program, do I still have a chance?
I ve read that applying to the school you got your bachelors degree at will likely reject alumni.

I don't think so. I know at least 3 grad students who did their undergrad at the same university. I would like to go to graduate school at my alma mater too because I like it there and it's close to my home.

It's not normally the case that they're more likely to reject you. It's just that it tends to be the case that more applicants from a uni's undergrad programs apply to their grad programs v. other schools, so more are rejected. In addition, it can be the case that, if you were studying the same subject, the uni might be a bit hesitant, unless you had a really good reason for targeting their grad program. But you're looking to study a different field, so I'm not worried about that second issue for you.
So yes, you have a shot.
