Anyone struggling to make a final decision? Anyone make a decision? Another form of anxiety, ugh

Don't get too discouraged. I know that they don't always do interviews.

I know!! Although I'm not mentally prepared for a Columbia rejection. Lowkey, I HAVE to get in.

They told us they'd let us know by this week for Epi. But I remember the original email I got when I submitted my application said decisions would be made by March. So I'm guessing EH takes a bit longer. Hang in there!

Right?! The silence has been eerie. I didn't get an interview so I'm not sure what that means for me. Don't even know if SMS did interviews or not. So we'll see

Yes, I went to the Prospective Doctoral Students' Day last Friday. I hope you get your acceptance soon! I'm rooting for you!

Seems like a lot of decisions are going today. Got rejected from Hopkins but got in to BU. I have 2 more schools that I'm waiting on. Really want to get in to Columbia but a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Good luck everyone and thanks to that kind soul that talked me off the ledge. Rejected: Brown (BHSS), Hopkins (Pop Fam), UCLA (CHS) Accepted: BU (Epi) Pending: Columbia (SMS) and Brown (Epi)

Thank you, that was kind and helpful. This is my first cycle and I'm trying to focus on ways forward. It's not over until April 15th but regardless of the outcome, this process is definitely toughening me up. Like many of us, I'm used to succeeding on the first try (undergrad and master's) so this is a new feeling. No one likes rejection but there is something to be learned.

First time poster. This site is terrible for mental health but also having a community of people going through the same thing is comforting, lol. I know I'm a strong candidate, top MPH program, extensive work experience (mostly global outbreak response) and yet I am feeling really discouraged right now. I've gotten 2 rejections, 1 interview and radio silence from the other schools. Hard not to feel like a failure. I'm not sure what else I could have done to make myself more competitive. Maybe better GRE scores? I'm a little dejected :-(
