  1. Hi! Maybe there is someone here who knows about chemistry at UNM, but this thread is typically for information on DrPH and Public Health-related PhD programs. I am sure there is a thread where people will know more though. Best of luck!
  2. That is something they should send to you before you accept the offer. I have gotten a few offers so far, and for a couple of them I got the funding info in the acceptance letter and for others I got the funding information within two weeks of being accepted. If after 2-3 weeks you still haven't received any information, I would reach out. CONGRATS ?
  3. Lol, that is probably a little bit true, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once you have the information you need, just make the choice quickly after that. If you are still waiting on information though, then don't stress about it
  4. I am waiting on hearing back from just one more program. Once I get news from them, I will probably decide within the week.
  5. This thread is for public health - related fields, so I don't think anyone on here is doing a PhD in English. Hope you find your group.
  6. I'm sorry about the rejection. Did you interview with them, or was this your first communication with them since you submitted your app?
  7. To be honest, I don't think that the pandemic will affect how we move across the country. We will probably pack some sort of shipping box, then drive the 20 ish hours to our destination. We will likely stay at a hotel halfway through because I hate driving through the night. Our kid won't love the car ride, but that has nothing to do with the pandemic ? When it comes to traveling during COVID, I definitely put moving across the country for a job or school into the "necessary travel" category. Along the way, we will just be sure to wear masks and sanitize at gas stations, food stops, and hotels.
  8. re: Virtual- I have asked faculty members at a few different schools if they think classes will be back in person by fall. The majority seem hopeful that most classes for graduate students will be back in person. Some have noted that, at the very least, some classes will be available in-person while others will still be online. The overall sentiment I have gotten is that schools are anticipating having Fall 2021 applicants being there in person. Obviously, this is subject to change (especially depending on the new COVID strains we are seeing), but I am planning to move to the school I choose. re: Supportive & Flexible Programs- I usually don't ask any variation of this question during interviews because I tried to make it crystal clear in my personal statement that my family is my top priority. My very first paragraph is about having my son ? Like I imagine is the case for many of you, I am not interested in joining a program where they are not understanding of my responsibilities as a parent. I think that by bringing that up in my personal statement, I have screened out programs that wouldn't be accommodating. Now that I am in the interview stage, I casually mention the fact that I have a kid, but I don't directly ask questions about flexibility. Usually just bringing my son up in conversation and gauging the reaction of the faculty gives me a good idea about how flexible they actually are.
  9. Thanks for starting this thread! I was on the PhD/DrPh 2021 Application thread as well and was really grateful to learn that I am not the only crazy one out there applying to PhD programs while having a young kiddo at home (my son is 9 months old). I know some people choose to wait until after they have attained their educational goals to start a family, but we wanted to start ours a little earlier. Through this process of applications and interviews, our son has been a source of light and peace in our chaos. I'm so glad that he will be part of our PhD journey.
  10. This particular thread is primarily for Public Health-related PhD and DrPh programs, so I don't think anyone here will have information on Electrical & Computer Engineering. There is probably another thread on the forum with that information though!
  11. Hi! I have interviews scheduled for Stanford epi. However, these are 1:1 interviews with faculty, not a "virtual visit" day for everyone.
  12. Hi! I have been accepted to the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health for a PhD in Health Services Research & Policy. I didn’t have any interviews for this program, so I am surprised but super pumped!
  13. I’m really sorry about your brother. The aftermath of suicide is a devastating place to be, and I wish you and your family peace as you process your loss. It is incredible that you applied to PhD programs in the wake of such a tragedy. I don’t think I could have done that. I am in awe of your fortitude.
  14. Ok- these emails are messing with my mind! I’m just waiting for any news from BU then I get an email from “BU Graduate School Admissions” with the first three words being “We are thrilled” just to get some generic invite ? so annoying. I decided to sign up for this upcoming one just to see if we get any info on when we should hear back from them. I have never attended one before and I’m not sure if there is really any benefit in attending them.
  15. I also applied to Brown HSR PhD. No news yet. I’m assuming I’m not getting an interview from them.
