Thanks everyone. I don’t want this to come off as fake “consolation” but I do want to let everyone know that last year I applied for SSHRC and wasn’t even forwarded to the national competition. And now this year I’ve advanved in SSHRC, Vanier, and Trudeau. Same project. Same grades. One extra co-authored publication. From what I’ve heard from my supervisor and the department there are a lot of politics and other behind-the-scenes information we aren’t privy to. So please, please, please don’t take the outcome as a reflection of your work and especially not of you as a person. It really seems like a crapshoot.

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!  

Same here!

Hi everyone, I thought it would be helpful to update that I applied for the Trudeau and I just got an email stating that I’m a semi-finalist. The email is from the Trudeau Foundation itself signed by Josee St-Martin. No indication of what the next step will be. Best of luck to all of you!

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. 

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. 

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. :-)

Thanks for the info!  I'll keep an eye out for that... 

I can't help but hold on until I know for sure. Sucker for punishment, I guess. I'll definitely update once I know for sure. I can only hope that my news of rejection or (unlikely) acceptance will be read by future applicants scouring the internet. For now, I can sleep, since the headquarters is closed for the day.

I'm SO happy to see a thread about this here. Now that we're in "early February", I've started going insane with the anticipation. I think we can all agree that this scholarship is a longshot, but I can't help but hope just a little bit. It appears from reading and re-reading posts on the site obsessively that notifications start to go out some time between February 9th to February 11th. It's only the 7th today. This is painful.
Good luck everyone!!!

This made me laugh 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
PS   Anyone else feeling like this?!

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. 

Got it, thanks and congratulations! It's my top choice, please keep positive thoughts for me!! (crossing fingers that I get in)

I had to pace around my desk for a second, but I'm on the waitlist. At least I know it's not a flat out "no" just yet lol. Hopefully you guys all hear soon!

I keep checking every portal and email every hour. I hope we both hear something today!!

I was REALLY hoping to hear something today. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Waiting on 6 of 8 schools still... My two rejections both came on Wednesdays so I'm expecting something tomorrow... here we go again! good luck to everyone

Is anyone else surprised that we seem to be hearing back kind of late?  I know a number of people still haven't heard from UNC, it seems like Harvard hasn't gotten back to people since doing some interviews, I still haven't heard from my backup (Minnesota epi) despite getting into better schools.  I know they said we would hear by mid-March at the latest, but I had thought we would know by now, especially given the timing on the results page from previous years. 

I'm new to posting here, but I've been lurking. I was admitted last year to Johns Hopkins Health Policy and Management department in the health and public policy concentration and deferred my admission until this fall. I'm not sure if anyone else here applied specifically to that department, but I can tell you that this year you are being notified a lot later than last year. Last year, I got an email from the concentration director on Feb 1st and got my formal letter about 2 days later. This year, I'm still waiting to hear about funding for this fall, so I can tell you that the official letters haven't gone out yet as far as I know. But I'm not sure about the other concentrations. 

Hi, everyone! First post this year.
I applied to Stanford, Berkeley, UCSF, WashU, UCLA, and Oregon State  Got interviews for UCLA, Stanford, UCSF, and OSU so far. Accepted into OSU and WashU, UCSF, and an unofficial yes from UCLA POI. Since I'm seeing some folks get rejections and worrying about silence from schools, I wanted to share to anyone interested where I was last year. As you can see from my profile name, I applied last year for the Fall 2016 cycle, to pretty much all the same schools as this year (replace Stanford with UMich). I got interviews at Michigan but ultimately was rejected from there and each of the other schools. It was a HUGE bummer.
Don't worry this cycle is definitely not over for those of you who haven't been accepted somewhere yet! You can find out all they way in April.
But if you DO get rejected from all the schools you applied to, like I did last year, please know that things can turn around. I tried again, and have heard good things from every school except Berkeley which is radio silence (and I didn't have a good research fit there). WashU is my dream school and I got in on the second try. Y'all can too. Last Spring I met with someone I would have loved to work with at one of the schools and asked what I could have done differently. I changed those things, and voila! Get feedback, talk to people, you got this. 
Stay positive! No rejection is a death sentence!

Congrats!  Yeah I wasn't contacted for an interview but I had Skyped with quite a few professors back in the fall when I was figuring out my application... it's my top choice so I'm anxious to find out!

Not all departments in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offer interviews.  If your department offers guidance about interviews it will be included on the Programs of Study page for that program:
