[PhD/DrPH Applicants: Fall 2021]

I was interviewed for this program and recently sent an email to ask for the decisions. They told me "The admissions process is still ongoing, but we hope to have decisions out shortly.". 

I guess the April deadline is not accurate, as I was also told in my interview (around 3 weeks ago) that the decisions should be out in 2-3 weeks. I think we should have the decisions next week.

BTW, did you interview with UNC? 

That would be a much more reasonable time frame! Maybe April was a mistake and the admissions person I emailed meant early March. 

[PhD/DrPH Applicants: Fall 2021]

Hi all, I finally created an account just to post this (I know I’ve seen a few people ask about this program): I reached out to Stanford about the timeline for Health Policy PhD decisions and was told they are still reviewing applicants and “hope to” release decisions some time in early April. This is the only school I’ve reached out to about a timeline during this whole process and I’m a bit horrified. I did not interview and have seen that some people did (so maybe this timeline only applies to me? lol), so am not expecting to get in at this point, but I have heard from all my other top choice programs so wanted to know before committing. I get that it’s probably a very difficult year to review applications, but this timeline seems a bit harsh considering the 4/15 decision deadline everywhere.
