Has anyone heard from the global / international health programs at Harvard, University of Washington, or Hopkins? It's been radio silence for me...
Interviewed with two POIs for JHU's International Health Program early January. Hoping you hear something soon! Good luck!

Thank you! Here's hoping! Paranoia is getting the best of me and I need the official acceptance in hand to have this sink in!

How likely is an official offer of admission if I've gotten an 'unofficial' acceptance email from the Department Chair stating that they've "made a recommendation of [my] application for admission to the University's Graduate School" and that they wanted to "congratulate [me] a bit early on my accomplishment. You will receive a formal financial offer in February. More to come soon." ????

I'm wondering what they meant by an on-site interview though. Did you apply for Health Services Research or Epidemiology? I don't know about the epi program.
No, I didn't interview with them. My program and POI fall under the PiBS (PhD Program in Biological Science) umbrella in the Graduate Division of Medical Sciences. This program only invites candidates for on-campus interviews with faculty in the department.

Two updates:
1) Boston University sent out their Prospective Students' Day invitations that will take place on February 15. As much as I know, they will make decisions from this pool, so if you did not have an interview already and were not invited now, it probably means bad news (Health Services Research program).
2) I contacted the Harvard Health Policy program admin asking if they had already sent out all the interview requests, because it was getting late, and she said that yes they had. So that probably means a rejection. ?
Thanks for the updates! This is the email I received from BU last week indicating that I'm waitlisted for an interview:
"...We have now made our selection for our interviews. Unfortunately, your application was not chosen an on-site interview. However, we are keeping your application active. This indicates that your candidacy is still of interest to us and we are keeping it on high hold for the time being. In the meantime, please feel free to update us on your progress in your application to PhD programs other than BU.
To be clear, your application is on high hold and has not been rejected. In the event we that have available student slots in our class after our initial interview and acceptance process, we may contact you to set up an interview..."

I could be totally wrong about this, but my understanding is that individual POIs contact applicants for interviews at Harvard. Does anyone know if this is true? Do they have a mass interview day or go about it some other way? Is this just a story I'm telling myself to lessen the blow of hearing nothing at all from them since I submitted my application in November?
I was interviewed by POI (PHS Nutrition Department) in mid December and then by a faculty in the same department a few days later. Told to expect news by early Feb.

Seeing a few posts about international students - feel free to reach out should you have any questions regarding applying in the US (either this cycle or next) ???
Haven't heard back from JHU since my interview (International Health, Human Nutrition - anyone applied/heard back???), but I have accepted Harvard's admission offer and sent out emails informing the remaining schools of my decision. Wishing everyone waiting to hear back the very best!!!
