    DrPH Applicants Fall 2019

    I can’t see it because it’s not there. I emailed financial aid and Brenda Hedrick and found out the following for the PH Finacial Aid Application:

    Typically, once your application is complete, it will take our office approximately two to four weeks to process your application and generate an award for you. We review files on a continuous basis once the application is complete. In order to receive financial aid you have to meet the requirements of at least 6 credits per term

    You have to be registered for at least 6 credits total (winter and third term combined) and at least 1 credit in third term to be funded for the Winter institute

    For Summer Institute funding, you need to take a minimum of 1 credit during summer term and can take the remaining 5 credits during Summer Institute (or for example split it 3 credits Summer term and 3 credits Summer Institute, or some other combination totaling 6 credits).

     

    Thanks for looking into that! I just got my FAFSA marked Received as of today. I didn't realize there was even any chance of getting funding from JHU for this program... Did you simply submit the JHU form and the FAFSA to them and that's all they need? Or was there another avenue to request aid?

    Thanks!

    Well at least I can stop checking my email every 10 minutes like a madman. I can just start that up again Monday.

    Anyone want to start a bet on when decisions will come out? My money's on late Wednesday morning. I know that's not technically "early next week" but it's before the midpoint of the work week and therefore as late as they could possibly push it and still hold up in a court of law ?

    Quality/Safety...They really believe in using Lean Six Sigma which is really needed to be refined in healthcare

    Awesome! Before I got into my current work I was doing PI for a hospital system. And you are right, Lean Six Sigma applies but it's clunky for healthcare the way it currently exists since it comes from a manufacturing perspective. That's a great mission for a career and very needed!

    I just called the Hopkins admissions # and the woman on the phone said "DrPH admissions decisions will be made in the next 2 weeks - late Feb or early March." So, that really doesn't tell me anything I don't already know, but gives me false hope that I might hear this week. ?

    Oh great, so I was kind of just waiting for next week to start freaking out, but if they are saying "late February" that means this week. I hope they can't see on their end how many times I'll be checking the portal in a day ?

    Any updates anyone?

    I have emailed my contact at Hopkins twice now (who said, email me with any questions after our convo last week), and they’ve gone radio silence on me. 

     

    No, and I'm also waiting on Hopkins. Update us if you hear anything! It's too early to get nervous but the suspense is killing me.

    Hopkins just sent me an email requesting a phone interview THIS WEEKEND.

    "Thank you for submitting your application to the Health Policy and Management Concentration of the School-wide DrPH Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.  As part of the admissions review process, we would like to schedule a conference call interview with you to speak with Dr. Lilly Engineer, Co-Director for the HPM DrPH Concentration.  Please mark ALL of your availability on the following dates and times."

    That's great! And very little time to prepare! From what I understand Hopkins doesn't always do interviews, but if you're getting one you're at least being considered!

     

    Let us know how it goes.

    I wanted to share this link: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ 

    Type in "Public Health" and you can see the most recent admissions/rejections/waitlists as people submit them. Harvard and Johns Hopkins have started sending out interview information!

    Thanks for this, I just discovered it a couple days ago!

     

    However, looks like it's mainly PhD interviews, haven't seen much at all for DrPH so far. Seems like DrPH programs release decisions later than PhDs, in general, from my borderline-obsessive research and forum-checking :)

    I have! I interviewed and received acceptance into the University of Texas right before the break, I'm still waiting to hear back from Washington (PhD) and Colorado School of Public Health. 

    That's great! Congrats! Was UT your top pick or is it one of the others?

    Hi everyone! Glad to see this thread has kicked off.

    I've applied to the Health Security track at Hopkins and the Leadership track at USF. 

    Regarding GRE scores, in a webinar for Hopkins (in September I believe?) they said they look at the quantitative more closely than the verbal, but didn't give any specific cutoffs or ranges at that time.

    Good luck to everyone!
