This is definitely a last minute question, since my application is due tomorrow! BUT if anyone on here has an answer... I have done graduate study in a field that is not supported (public health), and I had planned to list this on my application but now I am having doubts about how to make sure this is clear. There is no way in the dropdown to list the field that the study is in. Should I even list the study? I'm worried it will be confusing for assessing eligibility. If you had an MBA for example, would you include that information in the application? Thanks!

Hi Everyone - just got an email that I'm on the wait list, which is actually better than I was expecting at this point. They said the committee will reconvene in late May to fill any spots that open up if admits turn them down. Anyone else in this position? I'm assuming it's pretty unlikely that they will take anyone or that the person would be me, but who knows! I have a couple other great options so I think I will get excited about those but stay on the waitlist to see what happens.

It seems that last year they didn't notify anyone about rejection until Mar 6 or so... I had an interview but at this point I'm assuming rejection. Although if anyone who was admitted wants to turn it down I bet that would free up a spot!

Does anyone have any idea how many candidates they are interviewing? My interviewer told me we could expect to hear back by the first week of March.

Sure. I don't like to say too much because I don't put too much stock in what the stats mean - but I will say that I have an undergrad degree in biology and some graduate coursework but no graduate degree, plus several years of international work experience in public health and some experience in US hospital setting. Based on last year's cohort it seems to me they are looking for a wide range of different types of people so it's a little tough to decipher!

Hi All - Just got an interview request today (via email)! The email says that they want to complete the interview by Feb 11th. Good luck everyone!
