Heard back from University of Hawaii at Manoa today (Community-Based and Translational Research DrPH program) via email. I was wait listed. They said they are limiting admission to 4 applicants per year. Also, as for UCLA's Community Health Sciences department, I asked them about their admissions process for doctoral programs in Community Health Sciences this year (both PhD and DrPH). They said: "We received 64 applications, 16 for the DrPH program. 10 were admitted, 3 for the DrPH program. We hope to matriculate 6-7 students in the Fall." Additionally, I heard that someone was accepted to the DrPH program at Berkeley last Monday. I followed up with the coordinator that day, and she said: "We are finalizing out admission process and you should know within 2 weeks." Anyone else heard back?

Anyone else waiting to hear back about DrPH programs? Post back! I applied to UC Berkeley, UCLA Community Health Sciences, and UH Manoa Community-Based and Translational Research. Heard back from UCLA last Thursday Feb 21. Got an email telling me to check the website for the decision, and I got in! They said they won't be mailing out paper letters, and that all correspondence will happen via email. Admitted students day is on March 18. Still waiting to hear back from UC Berkeley and UH. I emailed them asking them when they estimate to have their decisions made, and they said they'd get back to me next week. Good luck everyone!
