Good for your friend! But 8 years for a Phd?!? Is that a thing? I'm expecting(hoping) to complete mine within 4-maybe 5 at the most!

Rejected from GW and Harvard this morning. Sad, but oh well!
Still waiting on Columbia, UNC, and UMass Amherst, (all social/behavioral). Haven't had interviews at any. Has anyone been interviewed or heard anything from Columbia? 
 

Can Harvard and Columbia just put me out of misery already!? Waiting is agonizing. 

Does that mean Chan has made their decisions and GSAS is being slow with the distribution? Does that mean if I get insanely impatient, I call GSAS next week? 
Note from site: 
Application questions: 617-496-6100 (please call between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday), or contact admiss@fas.harvard.edu. 

Sorry for the confusion that caused by my post!!
I was checking on my smart phone and couldn't see the whole decision. I saw "thank you" at the beginning and "we sincerely hope …" as an ending, then falsely assumed it as a rejection?
So…turns out that I'm on the wait list…????

Some boat here - no word from Harvard Epi. Logged into the GSAS application and status is still "submitted"
le gasp x2. Fridays in February have to be the least productive of the year.

For Harvard PHS, you can check the status by logging into the GSAS portal where you submitted your application. There isn't a portal for Columbia and I'm not sure about NYU.

Hey all, long time lurker here, but I am getting crazy with waiting so I thought I'd share some info:
--MPH in epi from top ranked school // GPA: 3.53 undergrad/3.48 grad // GRE: 168v/151q/4w // 3 years experience in research n// 5 pubs
Interested in mental health and American Indian/Alaska Native populations, (I am Native).
Applied to all social/behavioral programs: JHU, UNC, Columbia, Harvard, George Washington, and UMass Amherst
Heard back from ONE: JHU--rejection
Radio silence from all others. No interviews, nada.
I was expecting to get some news today but so far also nothing! (Also yes,  I have checked all the portals. haha. )
 
 

Nothing for me yet — le gasp!

I agree. I feel like a few people have heard and it's probably all rolling out in waves between now and Friday yah? Also I have 5 schools of the 7 I applied to I need to hear from (including Harvard). This torture needs to end!

We don't know that all acceptances have gone out, right?

Hey Embee, sorry to hear you haven't heard back from any universities yet. For me, the process has been a total crapshoot. I got rejected from all of the universities I thought were safeties, and have gotten interviews at my reaches. I think universities care a lot about "fit" and random variables that are hard to control for.

That said, last week a bunch of people got into UNC without interviews or any contact from POIs whatsoever since submitting their application. So don't give up hope just yet! 

Guys, I know I'm being super impatient / slowly descending into madness, but I feel like March is crazy late, especially compared to the other disciplines! Give us the news, people!

I know that the Epi track for the Harvard Population Health Sciences PhD will hear back this week. It's the last school I'm waiting to hear back from and I literally cannot think about anything else! Knowing my luck, we won't hear anything until Friday, which means I will be getting very little done at work this week -_________-

Here's to hoping today ends the radio silence!

The intensity at which we are stalking dates and seeking patterns to understand the chaotic admissions process truly represents the nerds we are. Good luck everyone!

I emailed with the Epi contact at Harvard, asking another question. She did mention decisions are to be going out the third week of February.
