still haven't heard from NYU, for all those interested! hopefully this week!

NYU applicants: I just asked for an update. PM me and i'll loop you in on what I receive

@SocialPubHealth ok great I just emailed the guy-last time i heard from him was 2/3 weeks ago

How many times is it appropriate to follow up with an admissions coordinator? I haven't heard back from my last email on a timeline for decisions

they said end of last week. don't know about epi though, they might make acceptances by track. have you conacted? @epigrl2017

this NYU thing is crazy. its been almost a month since our interviews.

I'm surprised so many schools still haven't given notifications. I just hate the fact that you could potentially have to make a major life decision in such a short time.

I've been getting bummed out at the start of every business day!

i was interviewed at a program and already saw two acceptances. do you think decisions could still be being made?

No I wouldn't have to take out loans. I definately have a bit of social anxiety, but I moved to a new country last year and loved it and found it to be a great experience. I do love my friends/family/life in this city though so its a difficult choice. The cities are close enough (2-3 hr train) that my parents said I could always come home if I want to. I am leaning towards the first, but have never visited that city before, so I need to see the vibe. I guess im scared of losing friends, etc.

Today could be the day!

Hi all, so I have gotten accepted to two terminal master's programs at two good schools (both Ivies). Price is the same at both. Having a hard time choosing School A: #1, Extremely prestigious, the name/program would get me a lot of career connections and the school has huge resources. The con is that it is in a city I really don't like or know anyone in, that is quite expensive. I'm worried the adjustment to a new city would affect my schoolwork and quality of life. School B: The "hometown" school. Was planning on going here but had a terrible visiting day experience-the other admitted students seemed unintelligent, and the current students said a few things that were quite rude. Good name recognition and resources. furthermore, I currently live in and love this city, and am building connections here on my own. The professors seem great. Don't pay rent here. Having a hard time choosing-the better school in a worse location, or a school i'm not as into in a good location.

haha i hope some do! I am SO impatient!

same here re: NYU. Assuming a rejection but just would like SOME indication

well it seems that if one person was admitted, we would be waiting mostly for waitlists or rejections! or at least that's how im taking it

to the NYU admit: have they sent out all their acceptances?

I'm not an applicant in English, but a friend of mine heard last week of an acceptance at Columbia.

hey all. I was just wonder-what led you all to pursue a phd in public health? was it that you felt oppurtunities were limited with an MPH?

does anyone know anything about NYU's process? I interviewed but am waiting for next steps

I have an all day interview tomorrow but I got the flu a few days ago. I'm still contagious and feeling kind of alright, but just tired. The interview would be 8-4 and I know I'd be wiped out and probably get sicker. The program offered to set up alternate skype sessions for people who can't make it. How much would I be negatively impacted by a Skype interview vs in person. I would feel kinda bad possibly infecting others with the flu

has anyone ever had a group interview? what to expect?

just wanted to update everyone as an applicant last year who didn't do well. last year i applied right out of undergrad and only got one unfunded offer. i decided to work abroad and it was an amazing experience! also, i got interviews at the (only) 2 PhD programs I applied to for this round. some lessons: not going straight to a PhD isn't the end of the world-it can actually help a ton in terms of personal growth a year can make a huge difference in terms of acceptances! and keep in touch with POIs always

yeah i got one just wondering if anyone else had

anyone for NYU global health?

anyone else get an interview at rutgers?
