    Pszczolka got a reaction from AlphacentauriC in DrPH Admission Decision Waiting Game - Apps, Interviews and Final Decisions!   
    I wanted to post an update as I received my financial aid package for BU today. I was given a scholarship for 28 credits out of the 48 credits required for the degree (they value it at approximately $44k). I'm thrilled with this because I'm planning on doing the degree part-time and this will pay for more than the first year of study. ThatĀ gives me ample time to find additional funding. When I've been looking at scholarships, most were geared for after the first year or dissertation work so this works out well.
    I have no idea if everyone was offered this - the letter said I was chosen based on the strength of my application and interview but that's probably justĀ standard wording.
    I hope this helps someone!

    Me again - just to update and say I was rejected my Harvard. I emailed to ask for a status update (I was going to accept BU either way as I prefer the program but I was curious about financial aid!) and a few hours later got a form email to check the portal for the decision letter. I saw that a few other people posted they were rejected today, as well, so maybe my email was coincidence. Either way, I'm not too surprised (no interview) or bummed as I'm very happy to be heading to BU but I thought it might be helpful for those still waiting.

    Congrats on the job offer but do none of the programs you applied to offer part-time? I know BU does since that's what I'm planning on doing. They are also flexible on switching between part-time and full-time depending on the semester.

    I received my acceptance to BU DrPH today! It was an email from the course director, still waiting on financial aid decision though.
    As I mentioned in my previous post, the only other place I applied to was Harvard and I haven't heard anything from them besides creating my log-in for the website. I checked the status this morning and it still says it's under review but I wasn't invited to an interview so I doubt I will get anything positive.
    However, I am THRILLED about BU!!!!! Happy to answer any questions about my application.
