    I was checking my UMD application portal and my decision was posted on the 31st - in for PhD in Behavioral and Community Health! No email was sent to me yet though or any further contact from the Department.

    I am also wondering this and expecting the worst. I have heard nothing except for a rejection. I asked Berkeley if they conduct interviews for PH PhDs and I was told it was on a case by case bases.

    I also wonder whether 'no interview' equates to 'no admission'. It seems difficult to tell from the results survey page whether all candidates are interviewed prior to admissions, given that not everyone who applied will have uploaded their results/statuses (it would definitely be interesting to see how many candidates were accepted without interview, but we'll never know!). Also, as you say, institutions may go case-by-case in conducting interviews. So we'd probably be second-guessing, and as @west_k say if you really want to know probably best to check programme websites or contact the adcoms. However, I think things are pretty much out of our hands at this point...

    Come on guys! It's not even the end of January... hold out for one more week - then you can lose all hope 
    (I haven't heard back from anyone yet! )

    Skype interview request just came through for the Social and Behavioral Sciences in Public Health program at George Washington University. 3 interviews over 5 days should prove fun!
    Now just waiting to hear anything at all from UNC's Health Behavior program...

    I applied to JHU (but for Implementation) and haven't heard a thing. Also not heard from GWU - I think you applied there too?

    Looks like I posted a few hours early. Heard back from the clinical epidemiology track about an interview

    Just received the invitation myself for a Skype interview over the next two weeks for Harvard's PHS program, concentrated in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Already had a half hour phone discussion back in November with my POI, so looking to expand on that more!
    Good luck to you!

    @linnbear me neither, but January is too early to give up. Hang in there!
    Anyone else realising that the applying was the easy part? The waiting is excruciating!

    If they accept me, definitely. The focus they put on students/building community is just what I need.

    I had my interview with UMD's Behavioral and Community Health department yesterday - they were so kind. Since I was pulled from the MPH program, we spent a lot more time talking about what would be best for me than other folks will, but overall it was a conversation focused on helping me than a typical interview. Good luck everyone!

    Happy holidays all! Just thought I'd post an update-I heard from a professor at the University of Maryland. the admissions committee favorably reviewed my application and I'll be getting the official acceptance in the new few weeks. Thought it might help anyone else who applied to Maryland

    So I usually go to that same email...m and there's a link below the password reset link...."Once you set up your account, you can use your username and password to access the application here." Only thing is... When you log off, click on one of the links to give to the admissions page, because of you funny, you might be able to log in again for a little while. 
    I logged on and nothing :(. Did you get an interview!? 
    So for mine it never said my recommendations were there. But I know they have them because SOPHAS has them. So i wouldn't worry. Our department is taking for ever!!! Specially since Dr. Roy said they only get on average 30 applications. But I guess it's harder to pick 2-4 candidates vs the higher amounts in the other departments.

    @MarylandGirl i Just logged to my portal and it looks a little different. Where it says test scores.. previously it just said received, but now it says  GRE: received official 3 times (I sent them 3 different scores). 
    I wonder if this means we're getting closer to a yes or no.

    I don't remember him telling me the type of interview it will be, but he did tell me it would be in jan-feb. I have been in contact with a few students and one of them said, "hopefully I will see you next semester during the application/interview cycle." 
    Seems as though it might be a group interview with faculty and current students.
