Hi, there. Yes, I've emailed my POI last week about not receiving any interview invites. We had a great conversation back in November and she actually mentioned the challenge of funding towards international applicants (the program I applied to is a little bit unique). But I applied anyway. Last week she replied to me that they were required to show evidence of at least 2 years of funding (ideally all 4 years) for students prior to admitting them. My external funding only supports me in the first year so I assume this is equivalent to a rejection without the official letter. Feel really sad about it... Before emailing my POI, I also contacted the committee and they said missing the open house event is not a rejection. As long as you satisfy all criteria and is matched with a faculty who is ready to take you as a Ph.D. student, then you should be approved for admission by the Ph.D. committee. I guess this is not my case. So hang in there before the final decision unveils! Hope that helps! And wish you the best of luck!!!

Congrats on your interview! May I ask when did you receive the interview invite? Do you know if Hopkins have already sent out all the invites to Nutrition applicants? Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I know this would probably be the last minute ask since many people have already submitted their application, but is anyone willing to review my SOP? I've been really struggling with it these days. I'll be applying to JHU, UNC, Emory and UT Austin this time. Best of luck with the process to everyone! Have a great weekend^^
