I too applied and am in waiting. After doing some searching, I found something on their admissions page mentioning that notifications will not go out until at least February. Anyone have evidence to suggest otherwise?

I received a text from my POI at Tulane (one of my top choices!!) which is exciting, but am getting told from my father and others that to pause on committing there is a mistake. Anyone have valuable input here? I was basically offered a spot, in what I would term a "soft" offer with further details to come. Does this mean that if I don't act I will lose that offer waiting on the likes of UNC, Brown, Yale, Harvard etc? HALP

While it seems like some have heard for EPI, I would contend that it is not the case for most. I have received no notification from any of my 8 EPI programs, and have seen the same on some subreddits on the topic. (Here's to me hoping it doesn't mean my chances are worse....). But in regards to your main question, might this be in another thread? Would behavioral and social science fall under PH necessarily and not, say, the psychology or sociology forum?

Why do they have such variance year to year? It seems bizarre to me that they wouldn't set a regular date... Does this mean that there is a larger applicant pool?

Should a longer wait for programs be directly proportional to nervousness? Anyone know how the adcomms process apps? It seems like they meet for like one person at a time, given the results tab on gradschool cafe. ..

Anyone else apply to, and hear from, UNC, Brown, or Tulane? These are my top choices and I am getting antsy despite the earliness

Woah man/woman, it's striking how similar our profiles are-- except you seem to have much more applied experience than I do! Very similar list of schools, and I was too an english major from a liberal arts college Good luck

Hello all! So as I wait to hear back from PhD programs on admittance/rejection, I am back home twitting my thumbs for 6-8 months. Any advice on things to do (even just quick daily exercises) to stay sharp and prepared to go back into work mode? I am struggling not to be lazy at home and need some direction haha Thoughts I have already circulated and pursued: 1) Working with local department of health (no response in two weeks). 2) Applied to local research hospital for project work (hard given my timeline). 3) Try to work on manuscripts with old professors, but no one seems up to it and I live in another state now... HELP!

I have seriously considered this and often chicken on out on the thought. Let's say I find out in February that I did not get into my top schools, what are some "American friendly" PhD programs like you mention in Public health/epidemiology specificallly? I find it really hard to just sift through websites and faculty profiles in some of those countries... I would particularly be interested in Germany/Netherlands/Scandinavia if I were to indeed apply. I'd love to hear some of the finer details of your process!

Hopeful PhD in Epidemiology here. Wrapping up my MSPH at UAB today! All apps paid and submitted to in no particular order: Brown Harvard Yale Tulane UNC Chapel Hill Oregon State Colorado Columbia Also applying for Fulbright grant to study metabolomics in the Netherlands (fingers crossed!) General stats: 3.8 GPA (if appeal for misgraded online final holds, 3.66 otherwise- would this be a dealbreaker??); 158/156/4.5 GRE; five pubs, two first author in review; two posters and conferences; TA'ship for statistics; 1 year experience outside master's working in surgical outcomes. Undergraduate degree in English and Philosophy with published thesis. Anyone care to pontificate my chances, and/or share in my anxiety to wait till at least late January?!
