Hello All,
Who has heard back from infectious disease PhD programs or PhD and Epid MS/Epid dual degree programs? I've heard back from a few, but am waiting on a couple big ones. I know Berkeley usually takes a while (notifications about interviews have been at the end of Jan in previous years), but I think I missed out on BPH at Harvard since I havent heard from them (though no one else has said they've received interview offers on the results). Below is my list, please let me know if you've heard from any others!
