@nesasp This should be the least of your worries because your recommenders will probably submit an identical (or near identical) recommendation letter to what they have already written for you.

I know it's hard not to, but I wouldn't read too much into it. The person you emailed may be getting a lot of emails like yours and he/she probably doesn't know anything more. If only they realized the mental state that this waiting game puts us in! But hang in there!

No, I didn't have an interview. So if you haven't heard anything, it doesn't necessarily mean you've been rejected! Good luck!

The night that I submitted two of my applications, I had a horrible nightmare that I sent the Hopkins personal statement to Harvard and the Harvard personal statement to Hopkins! It felt so real!! ??

I second this! This is really the most important thing when choosing a program!

I wish I had tips for you, but I've been checking the results 100 times a day too. I don't think anything besides hearing back will help ease my inability to think about anything else!

@linnbear Haven't heard from UNC or JHU either. Just curious, what's your concentration within epi?

I wouldn't necessarily say that this podcast is related to my field, but the podcast Science Vs (from Gimlet Media) is a fun one for anyone with an inquisitive, analytical mind. It dives into the research behind a huge range of topics (e.g. meditation, antioxidants, MDMA) in a fun, informative way. https://www.gimletmedia.com/science-vs/

Obviously exercise is important for maintaining your physical well-being, but I see it as my easiest/most convenient form of mental health care too! It's a really good way to relieve stress and maintain focus. My New Year's resolution this year was to adopt a regular practice of mindful meditation. I haven't kept up with it as much as I'd hoped too, but it's another really good tool for mind-body wellness! My workplace does a guided mindful mediation session every week and I'm hoping I can find something like that at the school/city in which I end up.

Is there enough data to do one for epidemiology? Thanks for doing this!!

(Disclaimer: psych is not my field, but this is a general question) I said that my strength is my ability to learn and master technical skills on the fly (and then gave an example that pertains to my research experience). For a weakness, I said that I get pretty nervous giving presentations. I'd like to get to the point that I don't have to practice a GAZILLION times before hand in order to feel comfortable. And I then said that I was looking forward to improving that skill during the PhD program. A tip I was told is that the interviewer doesn't actually care that much about what you say your strengths and weaknesses are. They are really just trying to get a sense of whether you "know yourself" and can communicate it. Good luck!

I was told by the department that interviews are not required, but are sometimes requested. I also applied to this program (I'm interested in cancer epi) and have yet to hear anything. It's a top choice for me so I'm getting very impatient! I hope we hear something soon.
