Hi I'm an incoming PhD student in Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health

"Let's just TALK about it..." Decision Edition
6diamonds replied to Bayesian1701's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Hi all, I've heard from all of my schools and have been painfully mulling over the decision for a few weeks and am still very unclear. I was accepted into UCLA, U Mich, and Minnesota for their PHD in Health Services Research/Health Policy and Management and am having a really hard time justifying one over the other. They are all offering comparable funding packages, obviously UCLA has a much higher cost of living but I feel like it is my "best fit" out of the three but I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of potentially struggling in LA on a PHD salary. Is it worth it to go with more practical options with a good fit (but not the best)? -
You may be on the waitlist. Doctoral day was last week and they have not released funding packages yet. I assume once they are release there will be some movement but I believe we are all still waiting on that information. Keep hope alive!

I emailed the program director to inquire about the timeline. A few days later I received an email from Mindy with an acceptance.

Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing! That must be a "no" for me.

I applied into the sociology track and I was alerted via email.

Some do, but I don't think Harvard is one of them. I'm assuming the same.

I'm wondering the same for the same program. I got my funding package offer on Friday but looking for details about funding for the visit day.
-
Did anyone get accepted to UCLA HPM and get their funding package?
-
Oh good! All the best to you!

Okay thank you! I applied but that's good to know. Thank you I got into UCLA hpm earlier this week
