@joshre01 @stereopticons @melvina Thank you so much for you suggestions! I agree that getting work experience in epi is a better way to boost my application. Getting rejections one after another is frustrating, so I really appreciate your advice on how to improve for the next round. Best wishes to all of you!
Thank you very much, melvina! I really appreciate your suggestion about speaking to a current student. I'm working on my master's in psychology right now, and getting another one will very likely put me in debt. I switched field several times before finding my passion in epi, so I don't have much relevant research experience. If this MHS is not helpful, then maybe I will get a job and apply again this fall
Hi everyone! I have been following the thread for a while, but it's my first time posting.
I got a rejection email from JHU mental health PhD, but was offered admission to the MHS mental health program. Anyone in the same situation? What do you think? I'm still waiting to hear back from three other programs, but things are not looking good. Seriously considering the MHS program now... any suggestion will be appreciated. Good luck to everyone!
