Harvard HP... I actually assume i am already out because I saw some threads here said they got interview invites.

Harvard HP will interview everyone they may accept and I think they have completed interviews (I interviewed with decision science track over two weeks ago). I think we are supposed to hear from them this week or next, and it is very reasonable to wait to hear from all the programs you have applied to before committing to a school.

Decision sciences. I read somewhere they tend to tell everyone at the end of Feb but it seems like this year is a bit weird with COVID, so figured I would check. 

They said during the interview in early february that they needed at least 3 weeks, I think. And was told to expect to hear around end of feb early March.

Congrats!! Would you mind sharing the date when Stanford sent out the interview invite, and if you were contacted by POI or the general admission committee? Thanks and good luck with all the interviews!

I heard from Stanford last Tuesday - the “admissions committee” sent out the email with dates to talk to faculty.

Ah congrats! Sounds like you have a great profile! Mind sharing your stats? Do you by any chance know of any methods/econs applicants offered an interview? Thanks! And good luck with your interviews!!

Sure. 3.91 GPA undergrad, 3.97 GPA in a research masters, 2 first author publications, handful of technical reports/policy briefs, and 5 years work experience both international and domestic (I’m old). I didn’t submit GRE scores. I got my masters at Harvard, so I think that helped me out because I am familiar with some of the faculty. I think unfortunately this is as much a networking game than a game of merit since there are many many qualified applicants. 
 

I don’t actually know any other people who have applied - I assume though that they’d send interview invites for all the tracks around the same time but again I have no idea.

 

good luck to you as well!

Hi guys! First time poster here. I applied to several Epi and Health Policy PhD programs and haven’t heard back since December.

My stats are—3.5 UGPA, 3.75 Grad GPA, no GRE, 2 pubs in prep, 3 yrs of research exp.

Still waiting to hear back from Harvard’s HP (Methods, and/ Econ tracks), BU’s HSR, Pitt, UCB...

Btw just wondering has anyone gotten any interviews from Harvard for the different tracks I.e methods, econ, management. Thanks

Hi there, I have interviews scheduled with Harvard Health Policy, Decision Sciences faculty this week. I also am interviewing with Stanford Health Policy, Decision Sciences and have completed interviews for Harvard PHS, Global Health, and UW Global Health, Health Metrics.
