Hi, just a heads up - I applied last year, I'm now a first year at Hopkins, and I popped into this thread to see what new admits are talking about. I applied to Harvard both GHP in PHS and Decision Sciences in HPM. I got the PHS rejection on Feb 24 and the HPM rejection on March 3. I think acceptances found out a day or two before those dates. So you might have longer to wait. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info! I'll keep an eye out for that...
-
Hmm, good point... I still haven't heard anything so I gotta say I think I'm out of the running. But it was a long shot! They seem to only take people who run their own companies, have written multiple books, won Nobel Prizes, etc. :-)
-
I'm really thinking people have likely heard by now... judging from last year's threads, it looks like you have to submit a video if you are a semi-finalist, and they use those to determine the interviewees. It looks like rejections might come by mail, not email.
-
I spent about 5-10 hours per week over the course of a few weeks... probably about 15 hours total. I had a partial proposal for a project but I had to seriously adapt it to work for this. And I spent a lot of time editing and re-editing to make sure it fit the Trudeau themes.
-
Yeah, it does seem to be closer to the 9th... I'm expecting probably tomorrow or Friday? I mostly just want to know, even if I didn't make it to the next round.
-
Agreed! I know it's a long shot for me but I really want to hear back!
-
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has heard anything about semi-finalist results yet? I know they said early February on the website, but I realized there wasn't a thread up for this year yet.
-
Just got rejected from Harvard HPM! Wondering why I even bothered to apply... that's a lot of money down the drain.
-
So when I was admitted to Hopkins (IH department) I just got an email with a letter of admission. The application was through SOPHAS so I didn't have a portal to log into.
-
Anyone want to claim the Harvard HPM phone acceptance on the results page? Specifically which track. Thanks!
-
Yeah, I've heard the same, about those three being the top schools in terms of opportunities, methods, established presence in the field, etc. Each obviously has its own advantages, but I have heard great things about both Harvard and UNC. I think you're right that it is really well known within the field of public health, which is really what counts from our perspective. Another big factor to me is location - I'm currently at Hopkins, and I was excited about the prospect of moving to Boston (but not so much Chapel Hill!). I think my decision will boil down to two major things: fit with advisor (and their advising method), and funding situation. I'd love to stay at Hopkins but the funding package isn't as competitive as I was hoping, so the best choice might be UNC just because of that.
-
Sorry to hear that! Yeah, I'm still bummed but glad I have other options. Do you think UNC epi is a good choice? I know it and Harvard are ranked similarly but I guess I'm concerned that the UNC name isn't as widely known so there won't be as many opportunities afterwards. Thoughts?
-
Best of luck!!! My top choice was Harvard PHS but I just got rejected (assumed because no acceptance or waitlist on Wednesday), and now UNC is looking like a great option
-
I was accepted a few weeks ago, and I got an email notifying me that there was a change on the application website (https://applynow.unc.edu/apply/status). I think APK1942 is saying that he or she randomly checked that site and realized the status had changed before getting an email about it.
-
I'm wondering the same! If we didn't get in I wish they would just let us know, I keep holding out hope.
-
Congrats! Which track?
-
@ganhuahua welcome! Can I ask which Harvard health policy track you applied to and when you heard back?
-
Thank you! Hope you get good news very soon too!
-
What track did you apply to? I'm sitting here all worried because they only appear to have notified a few tracks, but I have no idea! I applied for GHP and haven't heard anything, and it doesn't look like anyone has posted any Harvard on the results page yet.
-
@Hopeful17, can I ask what email address the email came from? This sounds nuts but I want to make sure I get a notification about it... lol. I gotta work on not getting my hopes up though!
-
Hope you got good news!
-
Congrats! I haven't heard anything for GHP... at this point I'm assuming implicit rejection . Has anyone heard from GHP?
-
Is that within PHS as well? Congrats!
