Rejected from Brown ?

Rejected from Emory's EHS program better sooner than later to scratch it off my list I guess and start focusing on the other programs.

Schools Applied (All Submitted in Late November) : Tulane PhD Epi, Harvard PhD Pop Health, Emory Environmental Health Sciences, GWU PhD Epi, Brown PhD Epi Interviews: N/A Rejections: N/A Thought I'd also post a few stats to see how my application might stack up: Undergrad GPA: 3.2 (yikes) MPH GPA: 4.0 (at a top 5 public health program) GRE: 160 Q / 155 V / 4.0 W Publications: 2 co-authorships and 1st place on a poster from an undergrad conference Honors: Induction into Delta Omega (LITERALLY the day after I submitted my last application ), MPH practicum was recognized for excellence by my MPH program Skills noted in resume via listed experiences: projects involving extensive SAS programming, REDCap e-database management

Long time lurker but finally made an account here! The waiting game has truly been something else so a little anxious during the extended winter break. For those asking about applying to a "second batch" of schools, there are many on SOPHAS/school specific grad pages that have rolling application cycles or deadlines in Feb but the funding packages might not be as competitive (i.e. University of Maryland, Ohio State, etc). This might differ by department but I'm going based on Epi, Biostat, and Environmental Health programs cause that's were my interests align. Good luck to everyone and grateful to have found a supportive community!
