Thanks for the feedback. I sent them this morning (3 of them!). Hope to hear back soon.

Had my interview with Maryland this morning and I feel more nervous now than I did before the interview. I think I did pretty darn good. Definitely wasn't a horrible interview and they seemed to be impressed by the questions I asked. They also mentioned in the beginning that they were aware of the number of faculty I met at apha and that they all really liked me and we're excited about how enthusiastic I was about the program. They really liked that about me. Hearing that put me somewhat at ease. There was a confusing moment at the end when one of the faculty mentioned that when I get an email tomorrow i can ask more questions in regards to the program etc... Then another faculty jumped in and said that they will meet Monday (schools on spring break at the moment) with the rest of faulty and that they will go over our interview (seemed as though they weren't or haven't done any other phone interviews) and that they will get back to me next week. I didn't know what to think of that. Did you guys send thank you emails the same day or the next day?
-
Thank you!!! Whether or not I get in, I'm just glad they were able to overlook my horrible GRE scores and look at my application as a whole. Quick question for anyone willing to answer, so in the email it said that I will be interwing with him and 2 other faculty . I haven't replied to the email yet cuz I'm way too excited, but would you think it's appropriate to ask for the name of the two other faculty? I was thinking if wording it like so, "To better prepare for my interview, I was wondering if it's possible to know the names of the other two faculty." Anythoughts ?

I know there have been newer ppl commenting on this thread, so just wondering if any of you know anything regarding University of Maryland's maternal child health program (going the person that posted on results page last month sees this!).
-
Thanks for the insight! If I don't get accepted this cycle, I'll most likely apply to the same school but a different department. There are a few faculty I'm in contact with currently, so I have options. Good point. And yea, ive realize that I need to broaden my scope a bit for next cycle (if that's the case).
-
Has anyone here applied to a program 2+ times? How did you go about contacting faculty for the second or third round? Did you reach out to different ones?
-
That's a great question! I'm interested in this as well. I'm sorry you were rejected from all programs :-( I applied to one school and have not heard anything back yet.
-
That is insane!!!

I emailed Feb 16th and got this " Its my understanding that the department is currently reviewing applications and are finalizing interviews. I suspect additional information will be available over the next few weeks. " They mentioned during the application process that they have a group interview day in February with faculty and students.

I was on campus last week shadowing a faculty member for work related business and found out at the end of the day that the faculty I was with allllll day is married to the chair of the department I applied to (different last names). Both my bf and I got the vibe when we ran into them later that day that I did not get in. That night I was invited to a film screening by a current student from the dept I applied to (and have been in contact with since apha) and I got the same vibe. Granted... I applied to a program that only accepts 2-4 new students. So I knew it was extremely competitive.

Wow! Didn't have to do all of that! I started looking but I'm at work and it was taking for ever. Thank you!! I only applied to one program and it looks like I'm getting nowhere, so thought I'd apply to any if possible and not waste my recommendations.
-
Does anyone know if there are any programs still accepting applications this cycle?
-
You know, idk why they wait so long to notify the definite denials.

Anyone wanna claim the Maryland MCH interview from the results ? When was your interview?
-
Would you say, or any one with input, that it matters when it comes to applying to PhD programs? My mph program pretty much said that it's pointless to be ches or CPH.
-
Quick question, are any of you CHES or CPH?
-
Same here

Those of you that have gone to in person interviews, how far in advance were you given notice for it?
-
You know, I applied and got rejected. I was very disappointed. The admissions person I had contact with kept string me that although my GPA was a bit on the low side ( graduated with a 3.66, but overall GPA was about 2.8 over an 8 year period), my 8 years of Health care experience made up for it. She kept pushing me to apply, not to mention, I was loving their online course format. So I said what the heck. Looking back, it was definitely a big marketing scam. No one should pay that much for a master's. I wouldn't advise anyone to apply for their online program.
