I was rejected. To say I'm bummed is an understatement. The Hopkins program is so specific to my interests that I was dying to get in and fairly confident of my odds. I foolishly had planned on it. I'm already at a very advanced position, had solid GREs, and I thought a strong essay. I applied for the leadership track.

@jace_PH @PublicHealth2020 @PublicHealth2020grad @2020epi @LeMarie Do you mind sharing thoughts on your success? Were your quant GREs high? I had super high verbal but settled for quant in the 60s because they said 50 was good. Maybe I should have worked more on that, but who knows.

I'm debating if I wait and take another run at Hopkins next year or go with another program.

Congrats to all who got accepted!

Hi - I was also accepted! health equity and social justice track. no word about the bloomberg fellowship yet. 

I'm sorry things didn't pan out for you DrPH2025. here's my info in case it is helpful - 93% verbal, 62% quantitative, 92% writing, 3.6 gpa undergrad, 4.0 gpa mph epi (ivy), 8 years research in high need area, 18 publications, i think 3 are first-author. I'll cross my fingers for you that you will be accepted if you decide to reapply. all the best!

@HealthConsultant09 my guess is that means they are making decisions internally this week but notifications will probably arrive afterwards. I guess next week. 

or that the decisions have been made but they have to update each portal individually so it will just take time to get through all of them, which would also make sense if they've had more applications than usual

Hello! I'm new and just wanted to post and join the conversation.

I applied to the Hopkins DrPH and Bloomberg Fellowship. Very eager to hear about this one as it is my top choice and is very specifically tailored to my work. I haven't heard anything on this yet. Like everyone the waiting is dominating my thoughts despite my attempts to meditate, remember I can't control it, etc. It's not working :). Glad I'm not alone at least.

Also applied to the UNC DrPH and am a finalist. I had an interview and honestly don't feel it went very well. It was more like a standard job interview than I expected. The lag on Skype causes jokes and body language to get lost in communication. Hopefully they see it differently and felt it was good.  It's a great program and I may choose UNC based on the executive model with a cohort. I like that Hopkins is self paced but I can see a lot of benefits in the lockstep cohort model.

I also applied to UIC. No word from them.

It would be great to hear back from Hopkins this week but I'm betting on next week like the past years.

Does anyone know when UNC decisions come out?

Good luck can to everyone!

Here's to hoping we both get into Hopkins AND get the Bloomberg!! Fingers crossed!!

@drph2020

I called Admissions this morning to ask which week decisions will be sent out and the lady said the first week of March. I do not want to get your hopes up but this is what was communicated to me. But like you I looked through the threads and the second week seemed to be when they send things out. 

Good luck to everyone. The wait is almost over! ?

thank you for calling and for the update!

I was looking at the thread from last year and it looks like the JHU decisions came out on March 11, which was the second Monday in March in 2019. So, if they follow the same timeline, that would mean around March 9. Aghhh the wait is so hard!!!
