    I hope you hear good news! I applied to reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology.

    Thanks! No info on funding yet, they said that information will come later. From what I've read in past forums and from other students, funding isn't guaranteed but it's rare that a student doesn't get funding. I knew this going in and was fine with it since the research fit was perfect for me.

    Finally heard back and got in at UNC Epi!! So excited and will definitely be going there.

    Is anyone else waiting to hear back from UNC Epi? They said decisions would be out by the first week of March but I didn't actually think it would take this long.

    Hey! I was accepted to the Epidemiology PhD program also a few months ago. I applied for the Austin campus because i was hoping to work with a specific advisor there. However, in the emails they sent, I was assigned a different advisor. I think I'm hesitant because it is a satellite campus. I would also like to hear other peoples thoughts on UT Health since I would love to be in Austin but I'm not confident that I will accept the offer. I also reached out to someone on reddit and this is what they said: Ok, so UT is kind of weird in that it's not a traditional funding situation. You can very easily get a GRA/TA position, but you will still be required to pay tuition/fees; there is no tuition waiver. If you get one of those positions or a scholarship, you'll qualify for in state tuition which is very affordable. Your advisor is definitely the person to start talking to about that, I would recommend reaching out to student services to ask who is your assigned advisor. Note that it will be your academic advisor to start, you don't have to do your dissertation with that person. Some students do struggle with funding as it can change semester to semester

    This is the last program I'm waiting to hear from and it's been incredibly difficult. I have no idea if i should start looking for jobs or what..

    Haven't heard a thing from UCLA Epi! Also, is anyone else still waiting on UNC Epi?
  9. brightbluebirds
    Congrats!! If you don't mind sharing, which track was this?
  10. brightbluebirds
    Congrats!! That's true - just getting very anxious since it's my top choice and yeah, I've heard funding at UNC is tricky but still very interested!

    Hi everyone! I saw a few acceptances from UNC Epi on the results page. Has anyone heard back? I was wondering if you all knew if these come out in waves or all at once? Thanks!
  12. brightbluebirds
    Congrats!!! Was this for epidemiology? I was wondering if interviews are required since I thought they just sent decisions out late feb/early march. Thanks!
  13. brightbluebirds
    For most of my interviews, I was asking the faculty questions rather than them asking me questions. I was wondering if others have experiences this and if it's the norm. I got the sense that they weren't that interested for some reason.
  14. brightbluebirds
    Congrats!! That's so exciting! Do you know if Michigan Epi sends acceptances all at once? Haven't heard back after interviewing a few weeks ago.
  15. brightbluebirds
    Still waiting on them!
  16. brightbluebirds
    Also waiting to hear back from them! I'm sure everything will come out later than in previous years.
  17. brightbluebirds
    I got an email two days ago for an Emory EPI visit day invite. Haven't heard about BU EPI but from previous years looks like interview invites begin late january/early feb.
  18. brightbluebirds
    Thanks for the update and congrats to those with emory interviews! Waiting anxiously to hear back from the Emory Epi Department and wondering if our visit days are the same.
  19. brightbluebirds
    Also applied and haven't heard back. From previous years, it looks like they don't conduct interviews and send out decisions late February.
  20. brightbluebirds
    Congrats and good luck! Was this the Epidemiology track? I applied to epi PHS and have yet to hear back so wondering if it differs by department.
  21. brightbluebirds
    That's sad to hear since I haven't heard back. I don't get why we cant just be notified with a rejection.
  22. brightbluebirds
    Congrats!! What program was this for?
  23. brightbluebirds
    Has anyone heard from Emory about PhD in Epi?
