Hi Everyone,
I have submitted almost all my applications for Fall 2013 (Public Health Ph.D.), so I thought I'd start a thread about Public Health applicants. This way we can share application tips and offer support, especially regarding SOPHAS and other logistical issues.
I said above that I was almost finished because Columbia, shockingly enough, have not yet opened their online Graduate Application system! It's October 18th!! If anyone else is frustrated by this, feel free to vent here.
Piece of advice regarding SOPHAS, please apply early, VERY early! They are tragically slow even in the early stages (September/October) when fewer people are likely to submit their applications. Also, ETS has a new score reporting system directly to SOPHAS and I understand that they are still trying to figure it out!
Good luck to everyone!
