Lots of discussion here about MURP, wondering if there are other PURPs around who're making decisions!

Hey ya'll I've been waitlisted for the CBI Scholars program -has this happened to anyone else? Also, are there any other Dual Degree (MSW+ ___) folks here? If so, which other program are you planning to complete?

Hello! I've just confirmed U-M for the fall and will also be in touch on the Ann Arbor forum for housing. Looking forward to meeting ya'll in August

@RCtheSS any news from the MSW? I'm waiting as well...but I did apply a coupla weeks later to the MSW than most folks on this thread. Anyway, best of luck!

Felicidades @RCtheSS, @obrien_blue, @CaliGab and those who have been accepted so far! Best of luck to those who are still waiting. I'll be at the Preview Weekend for Friday only. Sat I'll be at the Dia De La Mujer Conference in Lansing. If ya'll are interested, you should swing by! I'm so excited!

@Ksan @obrien_blue I was also notified via email that I was was accepted with a full ride + living stipend and health insurance for two years.

I just received acceptance to the MPP at UMich, along with my fundng package!

@CaliGab What was the conversation like? I'm also scheduled to have a phone conversation for the fellowship, and am curious about what kinds of questions they asked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@ljo377 which GSSA student did you talk with? i'd like to schedule face to face interview but need some help as I am unfamiliar with the process. i've already met one-on-one with a current student and have visited the school on multiple occasions.

hello ya'll im currently looking into MA and MS programs in Communication/Health Communication and Health Education. i would love to know more about the diffferences/similarities between these programs. since i'm working towards a career in public health i would especially appreciate any feedback ya'll have on feasibility of each type of program and marketability re: Public Health PhD's my primary research interests center around developing and implementing innovative ways to enagage with communities around health disparities. i specifically want to look at the ways we can use new/creative media to build community capacity and support/expand existing movements working towards health care justice. i have a background in psychology/biology, mixed methods research, and community organizing- and i've got a strong interest in CBPR im thinking MS may be more fitting for a career path in public health, but two of my mentors (who specialize in CBPR work) have MA's in communication and are doing well. im thinking i may want to consider applying to MA and MS programs....asdfghjkl need halp tho. thoughts?

thank you juilletmercredi for the awsome clarification post!

Hello! I am applying to Ph.D programs for the Fall 2014 cycle and was just curious what the Public Health folks think about evidence based practice vs. community based participatory research in regards to Behavioral Health Disparities reseach. Thanks in advanced for your help!
