    JHU DrPH is still under review after an entire day of checking the portal -- applied to implementation science (did anyone get a response?).

    if i was rejected why cant they post this immediately rather than make us all wait for nothing? but congrats to all admitted to JHU! Well deserved achievement :)

    Did anyone else receive a welcome letter from BUSPH?

    I did not interview and it has been radio silence, but I received an email today that said

     

    Welcome Bayou_Cat,   

    At BUSPH, you are joining a community filled with the next generation of public health leaders.

     

    It goes on to mention the benefits of being a BU graduate student, and ends with : 

    We look forward to meeting you on our BUSPH campus.

    What is this, y’all? 

    Yup, received one as well. It's very frustrating and unprofessional from their end sending such emails... 

    How to get more research experience after graduation ?

    in Public Health Forum

    Hi all,

    This may sound a bit weird but I am thinking of reaching out to some researcher and ask if there is a possibility to work in their lab as a volunteer to gain more experience in the field. I have graduated almost 5 years ago and after an unsuccessful 2020 PhD application I have been working towards improving my data skills. Is it worth a shot reaching out? My professor with whom i had a really good relationship has retired and no longer conducts research.

    thanks!!

    DrPH - how important is research experience?

    While research experience can certainly set you apart, I don’t think it is the end all be all for DrPH programs. I have minimal research experience but was accepted to all of the programs I applied to. I think there were a few things that helped me. I have a great deal of leadership experiences from grad school and within my work. Although only in the field 6 years, I’ve had increasing responsibilities and have actively sought out experiences that make me a better leader and public health practitioner. In my personal statement I was able to paint a clear picture of why I love public health and how the DrPH would help me make a greater impact in my area. Lastly, I had pretty solid letters of recommendation. 
     

    I hope this was helpful. I get the sense that programs really look at applicants holistically. 

    Thank you for your reply!! his is very helpful! I, too, have 6 years of experience -- but mostly from work. Some programs ask for a writing sample - can you share what sample you chose to provide, as in was it work-related or a school essay?
