<br /><br /><br /> Hi edge2125, I called HSPH on last Tuesday, and the office admissions assistant told me that mine is still under review and that they haven't sent out all of the letters of admissions and rejections. As of today, I still haven't received any news yet. I thought I would receive a letter of rejection over last weekend, but I didn't, so can I say no news is good news? I wonder if anyone else has received a letter of admissions/rejection from HSPH, and whether the HSPH send out all of the rejection letters at once after admissions letters are sent. I would really appreciate it of someone can "enlighten" me.

<br /><br /><br /> Congrats to you all! I have to admit that this is kind of making me feel depressed, coz it seems to me I am not in, although I haven't received any letters yet.

Hi, As of today, I still haven't heard anything yet. If you don't mind me asking, how did it go with Hopkins & Berkeley? Did you mean that you received an e-mail from Michigan that they hoped to send out initial offers by the end of February? Or did you mean Harvard?

Hey raredisease, Thanks for your reply. Where did you do your 2 Masters degrees, and in what areas? I understand that you did one of them at Emory, based on 1 of your previous messages. May I also ask how good your GRE scores were? As for publications, how many do you have as first or second author? I just wanted to see where I stand in the application pool. Thanks!

Hi raredisease, Just wanted to add some more questions/comments. I haven't heard from Harvard and other schools yet, so do you think it implies that I am rejected? I wonder if others have already heard from Harvard as well. I am sure you must be among the top applicants they are looking for. If you don't mind sharing, what kind of qualifications do you have that make you stand out? (This is what I was trying to ask, indeed.) I did my MSc in Epi at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, but the grading system there has been extremely stringent, so I am sure my grades didn't look as good as those who studied in the U.S. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks!

Congrat! I am still anxiously waiting for the results from the schools I applied to. I also applied to Harvard for their SD in Epi, but I don't expect myself to get in. If you don't mind me asking, what qualifications are they looking for the most? Do you already have some decent publications?
