I am attending one of those schools mentioned and my quant score was 75% ish. Verbal was over 90%
-
Did you guys ever hear?!? I've thought about you from time to time!
-
WTH. They STILL haven't said anything? I'd seriously be calling them at least every week for an update. That's just rude to completely ignore the April 15th deadline
-
Where are you going to grow the most and be happiest in the next 4 or so years? if the answer is UPitt, go. You are allowed to choose what is the best option for you-even after April 15th.

CONGRATS! Are you between Harvard and USC still?? I would contact Harvard ASAP about funding.
-
They already sent their acceptances out-a few weeks ago. They are keeping applicants in their back pocket in case anyone rejects their offer. Kind of rude imo.

Thanks! Sorry I should have specified that the funding is guaranteed for the extent of my studies, up to 5 years. I think they do annual amounts based on cost of living adjustments.
-
I agree with the above poster, but also-be as self-interested as you need to be. If they need a commitment then go ahead and give them one. If you get accepted into program B at a later do not feel obligated to stay with program A. This is YOUR life.

I think PhD stipends in general for public health are going to fall somewhere between high teens to 40K depending on where the school is located. I.E. Columbia offers at 39K stipend. I doubt the University of Iowa would give you much more than 20K given the cost of living is so low (but just a guess!). At Hopkins the stipend was offered as an annual amount I believe.

Yes-full funding. Are you HPM though? Might be different department by department?
-
Nope. Not waitlisted. EHS.

YAY I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
-
I'm not familiar with UW's program so can't really speak to it. I think personally, that would make me anxious-unless I knew that the whole thing is more or less a formality and everyone eventually gets funding? UW is a great school-I imagine they wouldn't let many students go unfunded?
-
No. I don't think programs should even offer this option to be honest.

You guys are lucky. I have 4 MORE to hear from
-
Well, it's been about 2 weeks since then. I would say if you don't hear anything by Friday go ahead and shoot them an email. Nothing to lose!
-
I don't think so-not necessarily anyway. Schools (i.e. administrations and faculty) are generally still working when spring or summer break is going on. You can pretty much expect not to hear anything from December 23rd-January 2nd, but outside those dates & MLK Day, President's Day & MAYBE Easter Monday I think anything goes!

Have you contacted them recently (like within the last two weeks) to see if there was a status update?
-
Good for your friend! But 8 years for a Phd?!? Is that a thing? I'm expecting(hoping) to complete mine within 4-maybe 5 at the most!
