Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster here. Just got my final application result so here's my record for Epidemiology PhD programs:
UC Davis - Accepted, 2 years of guaranteed funding before needing to find a TA/RA position
UCSF - Rejected
Stanford - Rejected after interviews
Berkeley - Rejected
I'm grateful to have one acceptance during this crazy application year, but like many folks I'm bummed to have been rejected from my top choices. That said, is anyone else thinking about attending UC Davis in the Fall? Or do you have any insight into the program?
Also is anyone thinking about deferring for a year to reapply? Again, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I want to make sure I get a good fit for my interests too.
I'd really appreciate any insight!
