I literally haven't heard anything from any school I applied to. Ugh.

Anyone? Radio silence?

Nothing here, either. Waiting.

EXACTLY. Not only unfair to those who haven't heard, but those waitlisted. What if you are waiting to hear back from *one* school who hasn't made a decision, but are accepted to a dozen others? All those other schools and their waitlists are now affected because of poor planning and execution by one program. This whole experience has just made me wonder if academia really is where I should be placing all of my chips. In the private sector, this would just NOT be acceptable nor tolerated. Why is it, in academia, we are just meant to deal with it? I digress. Ugh. Fed up with waiting.

Same thoughts here.

I'm feeling the same. I called one of my schools and they said they are still reviewing and it'd be mid-April before acceptances went out. I asked two weeks ago, and they said "no later than the first week of March" What's the general hold up?! I mean it's not just one school. It's multiple. Is this new political environment really going to screw us, like everyone warned?

Where all did you apply? What are your "stats"? I'm feeling super insecure because even though no news is better than bad news, it feels like I'm slipping away slowly....

Apparently OHSU doesn't have a waitlist. Is this the norm?... OSU said mid-April. Still nothing back from Colorado.

Is anyone else being asked on a daily basis where they're doing their PhD/DrPH? Because I'm kind of losing my marbles over here. Everyone I've talked to who is already in a program said they heard by February. I'm starting to think NOWHERE wants me. I haven't gotten a single acceptance or rejection.

Has anyone heard from OHSU? Colorado? It's been silent on the boards and such. Wondering what's going on?

Lost mine as well. I totally understand your plight!

Suzanna told me that they weren't making decisions until March 1st... not sure?

OHSU or OSU? What program? I can't wait much longer! I'm going to lose it. lol.

Where all did you apply?

Is anyone here applying for a spot at OHSU, Oregon State, or out in Colorado? I'm seeing Harvard, Columbia, Emory (the usual, ha!) but no mention of other programs...
