How was your interview for Harvard? Multiple faculty members? What kind of questions were you asked? I have an interview with Harvard next week! Any help would be appreciated
The interviews exceeded my expectations! I am definitely team Harvard right now ? .
IMO, the best way to prepare is just to reflect on what brought you to this moment... your personal/academic/professional experiences and why this program, POI, career choice, etc. Practice articulating these responses, but don't over rehearse. Scripted answers prevent an interview from evolving into a conversation. It really comes down to just being yourself and seeing if this is a right match for both parties.
I will send you good vibes for the interview - you got this ?..

Do you know if all interview invites for Emory have been sent? I applied to BSHE but I would assume interviews for all programs would be happening around the same time.
So, through the grapevine I have heard EPI has not sent out any invites yet... I think it is reasonable to assume BSHE hasn't either.

Happy Friday everyone! I have 2 quick updates.
I was interviewed for the PHS PhD program at Harvard last week. I had overwhelmingly positive interactions and needless to say, I am eagerly awaiting an update on the status of my application.
Also, Emory has interviews planned for the first week of February.
Love reading all the uplifting notes, too! Stay hopeful and best of luck ?

What track did you apply for at Emory? I applied for global health and development.
I applied to EHS. Hopefully other tracks release invitations soon, too!

For those who applied to Emory, I received an invitation to interview today. They are hosting virtual only interviews the first week of February.

Hi future colleagues! So happy to have found this forum - I can't wait to hear back from the programs I applied to this cycle.
UG Degree and GPA: BS, 3.88 from small private university nationally ranked for program
Grad Degree and GPA: MSPH, 4.0 from top 5 program
GRE: Sub-par TBH. I only submitted to Colorado, which still requires scores to accompany application.
Conferences: Presented at all: Obesity Week, ID Week, University's Department of Medicine Research Day
Publications: 1 mid-author and A LOT in preparation
LOR: 4 very strong recommenders (2 with global recognition) who can attest to research and academic accolades
Interests: -omics and systems biology; reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric exposures; cardiometabolic disorders and chronic metabolic diseases
Applying: Emory (EHS), Colorado (EPI), Harvard (PHS-EH)
I met with faculty ~*virtually*~ for 2/3 programs and the other forwarded me to the GSA. I think I have a compelling application, so fingers crossed a program takes interest/has funding for me!
Of note I already submitted my applications (just waiting on a final LOR) and Emory sent out an email stating they will review in December, release interview invitations in January, and conduct virtual interviews in February. Good luck everyone
