yes I am. @Pszczolka

Thanks for the update @Pszczolka and I'm sorry to hear about the rejection but super excited that you are accepting BU!!! Congrats!!! Im still waiting for my decision! so we shall see!

@Mingyang I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure whatever school you do go to would be lucky to have you!

Hey everyone, UPenn decisions are starting to go out, was not accepted, but good luck and congrats to those that have been accepted.

Thanks @Mingyang. And thanks for the update for UPenn. Although I thought they said we would hear late feb to early March.

Oh thank you @wongjcz I feel that we all should be supportive in one another, we are all trying to make a difference in this world and in the lives of others, why should that start after we graduate or even after acceptance. But I really do appreciate all your kind words, same to you @Beetroot. I got my MSW at Columbia, so I kind of had a feeling I wouldn't get accepted into the PhD program, so it was a long shot. I am really grateful for this forum and for you all on this journey in becoming "Doctors" for the people we wish to serve and assist, in whatever capacity that may be. Good Luck to you all in whatever you choose to do!

oh haha thank you @Beetroot you are too kind! I know how hard we all have worked to get to this point. I know whatever school you accept you will be a great asset to the field.

Congrats on the waitlist @Beetroot..... Ive been rejected.. Congrats to those who have been accepted!

Congrats @dandadadan on getting accepted!!

its ok... i understand.... thats awesome that you have been accepted to UChicago and probably will be attending!!! Congrats @wongjcz

I am happy for you though that you have been accepted somewhere.. How come you are not going to the uni in Australia? Are you waiting to hear back from a lot of other schools @wongjcz

Oh I see @wongjcz so they were suppose to have your decision by Feb 16 because you're an international student... and they didn't and so you needed to know ASAP because of the school that you were accepted in Australia... and they processed your application faster? is that correct?

haha no I hear ya @Beetroot I would be too... I just gotta see the official then it would sink in. lol and Columbia... yea hopefully.. I tried calling yesterday but no one answered to try to get an update from their meetings, so I emailed the person I got the original info from, so I'm hoping I will hear from her on Monday so I can update everyone.But hopefully we will hear this coming week... fingers crossed!

Congrats @Beetroot!!!! @wongjcz I am sorry to hear that... so they sent you an email or how did you find out about the rejection? I am still waiting to hear back from UPENN.. I didnt know decisions started to go out... they told me in two weeks... :?

Thanks for that intel @dandadadan.. have you heard back from them on a decision? I am still waiting for mine.

Two people have posted acceptances to Harvard DrPH...anyone else want to claim the post... congrats to those who have been accepted!!!

Two people have posted acceptances to Harvard DrPH.... other than @saving_the_world anyone else want to claim the post... congrats to those who have been accepted!!!

@saving_the_world Thank you for that info. And again congrats!!! I do have one more question, when was your application finalized-confirmed, when did the school receive your completed app, because I thought I was told the sooner they receive your completed app the sooner they would have a decision-once they came to a decision that is. Not sure how accurate that is.

Congrats @saving_the_world When did you get your admittance? Did you have an interview?

Has anyone heard any news? It has been pretty quite on here, as well as on some other threads I follow..

@Beetroot HAHA I hear ya, hoping I don't have to do this process all over again either.

@Beetroot YES... hoping we hear great news!!! And I see, makes more sense now that they were the ones you mentioned in SoP... I was confused on the whole process.. still am lol But this makes sense. My area of interest are around trauma, more specifically rape, sexual assault and domestic violence around primary and secondary survivors and the effects on both and how to work with both by providing best practices. But more so around the effects on the secondary survivors and how to mold a nonprofit targeting these specific clients.( This also includes survivors who have comorbidity with a disability or other violent crimes associated) What about you, what are your interest areas? @wongjcz Haha no worries.. and yes, it is a very good thing life is a learning process, we can all learn something from one another!

@Beetroot Thank you for your honestly, and I don't think you are holding out anything. It def. sounds promising though. Did they mention if others were going to interview? I am glad that you were able to connect with potential advisors. Must be a great feeling for you. You also applied to Columbia? The PhD in Social Work or a different program? Columbia's PhD in Social Work is another program I applied to as well. Ive spoken to one of the staff that sends out the decisions. She said that they have 3 scheduled days the committee was meeting to make decisions, Feb 1st, Feb 15th, and Feb 22/27th. So there is a possibility that they will send out decisions once they are all made or some may trickle out this week or next. And the brain fuzziness is completely normal!!! No worries!!! And what is that saying... Patience is a Virtue @wongjcz ;/

@Beetroot Glad to hear it went well... what all did they ask... did they say anything about why an interview since it is not part of the process? Any news about when decisions will be? Any other information willing to share? Sorry for all the questions! lol

Haha I am sure you will do great! Thanks. Yes I did apply.. The same program as you. That's why I was confused on the interview. If I hear anything I'll post it.
