congrats some of us are still waiting ( epi phd)

maybe you should have inquired about your own application ?

tired of checking my mail every 5 mins... :/

i Would say go to geneva ... i lived there for a while i was doing an internship at the world health organization. It's an amazing place with lot of organization headquarters and lot of international students . Georgetown is good but in terms of exposure to the work of international organizations,, you can't get better than geneva. 2) you get to learn french which is a strong asset if you want to work internationally

you should email Suckwinder Sagoo at sagoo@ph.ucla.edu. I sumitted my ucla grad application on december 7th but in my case i had already submitted my sophas app in november. Good luck . if you don't mind me asking WHY SO LATE?

which schools/programs have you applied to?

Whic programs did you apply to ? if i may ask?

which programs (schools) are you applying to in the uk? i was also considering applying to the UK schools but many programs want you to write a research proposal first.. i simply do not have the time right now . Columbia, hopkins, berkeley etc offer good drph programs . i just felt like a lot of people applying to the new harvard Drph are just going after the brand. I do not see how different it is. Two they are still busy remodelling the curriculum . i am sure your work experience makes you a competitve applicant.

i know a lot of people who've applied to the harvard drph, however, it was very confusing to know what exactly they are looking for in applicants. Two , also had a hard time figuring out what courses were going to be taught.SO i decided to apply to the EPI SD instead.

why do you assume you are rejected??

SAME HERE hahaha

which school is that???

i gave up SDN gradcafe is better ...... decisios are only coming out in feb or march argh

i like berkeley, admin is easy to get in touch with . I got two skyp calls wth two berkeley professors before even applying. UCLA you don't get any feedback .... you have to harrass them et etc

haha i know right , it's ridiculous which other programs are you applying to? mph? PhD?

i am tired of waiting........ i am going insane

i saw one the results section that somebody got a decision for OHIO State epidemiology PhD.. so early??

Amazing post. Very detailed . Thank you, JuliettMercredi for somebody interested in epidemiology would you advise a PhD or a Dr Ph??

im sorry if i made it look as if i was underestimating the degree you trying to pursue. that wasnt my intention

if you are interested in policy/management just choose the mph in health policy or whatever that you are interested in . I interned at the world health organization last summer, and all the staff there advised me to choose a specific track. when you just have an mph in global health , nobody knows what exactly you are good at, all of them told me that. i am not saying it's a bad choice . but you gotta know how to market yourself ......

honestly global health is such a broad topic , it is better do an mph in ID epi with a global health certificate

They are very inconsiderate. I submitted my application in september then sent plenty of e-mails to know if they had received my application . i did not get any feedback. Then on december 7th, a week after the deadline, they sent me a mail to tell me that my application is incomplete and will not be processed. You got to be kidding right. A lot of my friends had a similar experience. Last year, a friend of mine received an offer a week before the start of the academic year...... BAM.

@faithfullyWaiting there is a thread discussing this topic on grad cafe .. you should look it up.

@katethekitcat.. i know you are talking about mphs etc some programs offer loans and some TA postions . that's pretty much it.

i contacted my POIs at my top choices and was lucky enough to chat with one on skype. others referred me back to their websites etc
