  1. It really is extremely competitive. So much of it is about luck as well I think, because there's a big emphasis on cohorts admitting candidates from varied public health disciplines and career paths. A lot of applicants might be expert epidemiologists for example, but the program might just be looking to fill 1 spot for someone with an epi background. My second interview was pretty meh, so I am not very confident at this point. I was hoping to nerd out about my research interests but was thrown off by questions like 'which leader do you admire the most and why?' ?
  2. In past years the Harvard DrPH sent out offers from mid-Feb, and rejections in March. No news yet on my end and am quite nervous! The cohort is extremely small so I doubt it will take too long for them to send all offers out. If I don't hear back in the next 2 working days I'll assume I've been waitlisted/rejected
  3. Folks who applied to the Harvard DrPH - any news?
  4. Terrific!! Glad you received good news and I am sure you were stellar at the second interview! Mine is later this week. Completely relate to the nervousness but thankfully work is keeping me distracted
  5. They could be sending invitations out in batches, or based on domestic/international student status. I have my fingers crossed for you!
  6. An update: I have just received an invitation to a second (and final) interview for the Harvard DrPH. Interviews to conclude by the 31st of January. Whew! Both excited and nervous to be so close to the finish line. Anyone else also interviewing with them this week?
  7. Oh absolutely - I feel the same. I wonder if the cohort this year will be slightly larger given that applications for public health degrees have sharply risen. My interviewer did mention they had quite a lot of interviews to go through that week. Hoping this means more get accepted vs more get the cut!
  8. Yes! Have you heard back? How did your interview go?
  9. Hey HealthMatters, I'm so so sorry to hear about your brother. That is devastating and I can't imagine how much pain you've fought through in the past months, and are still fighting through. Please know you are incredibly strong to have even picked yourself up from that traumatic loss and apply for these programs! And no matter the final outcome they are absolutely not a reflection of your ability! You are of great value to the world and I know you are going to eventually find a way out of the job you dislike and make a difference - because even in the midst of perhaps the greatest crisis in your life you are still resilient and committed enough to public health to actively work towards advancing it + striving to further your expertise with a PhD/DrPH. That is incredible and inspiring, and that is why I know someone like you will excel regardless of whether you get into a program this year or the next. I know you will make it. I cannot offer much besides a listening ear/someone to stress out with about results, but please reach out if you feel like it. If this year doesn't work out and you'd like a fresh pair of eyes to review your applications for the next, I'm happy to help with that too (in my limited ability as a fellow applicant). You got this! Please don't give up! Sending love.
  10. Feeling this. Had an interview last week and currently waiting to see if I've been selected to advance to the second round of interviews. I'd be pretty shattered if I got rejected at this stage. Anxiety is through the roof!
  11. Congratulations! I recently received an interview invitation from them as well. Fingers crossed we both get in. Good luck to everyone waiting for responses!
  12. Did anyone who applied to the Harvard DrPH hear back? Not sure if they are doing interviews this year since we had that mandatory recorded interview submission already. Does anyone know?
