I interviewed at Harvard last year, so it's not the same. But my main takeaways: Be sure to know your personal statement backwards and forwards. Be sure to know UNC's program and what it will do for your career--be more specific than the credential. What makes UNC's program special to you? Be prepared to know where you are headed in your career and why it matters to you and your chosen community. Harvard also cared a lot about my core values and how I differentiated leadership from management/why they were both important. I hope that helps! Very best of luck to you, ChiGirl25!

Interviewed for GWU in November, and it was mandatory (I believe). As interviews go for DrPH programs, it was standardized and--by far--the least intimidating. The admissions person told me that anyone who meets the essential criteria for the program goes through an interview. I don't know what the criteria are, exactly.

Me, too! How delightful.

Wonderful! Me, too. Will you be online or in person?

YAY! Congratulations, ajcoda! Do you think you'll accept?

I applied and was not accepted to 4 programs last year: Harvard (interviewed), Hopkins, Tulane, and Boston University. So I might just call it a day and accept. Which is hardly a bad thing. I feel confident and comfortable that GW is a good program for me. Good fit. Diverse fellow students. Policy focus, etc. In terms of accepting, I'm going to meditate a bunch. Journal. Come down from my high of being accepted and make a sober decision. Let me know if we will be together.

Ok! So if you open the link, it's the acceptance letter with the full congratulations, etc. Just a weird way to send it. But I'll take it!!!!!!!

I did, too! If it's NOT a scam, it's one weird way to receive an acceptance. Congratulations? I hope? Hmaxey, if you did get in, what's your likelihood of accepting?

GWU is doing admissions decisions in two waves. The first wave of applicants are those who interviewed before November 1st, and those will hear back any day now. The second wave of applicants are those who interviewed November 1st and onward, and those applicants will hear back in the spring semester. That's what I was told, at least.

GOOD LUCK, YA'LL!!!! Should be hearing so soon. Fingers crossed that you all experience an aligning to your proper public health path. Un abrazo fuerte.

I applied in October, and GWU said that we should hear back this week or next for folks who applied before the end of October.

Ohhhhh, Hmaxey. That's so lame. I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope, once the real letters go out, you get one. Good luck.

WOW! Congratulations!!!!! That's fantastic. I have not heard yet. Have you heard yet, Mukule01?

Same! Had my interview around that time, too. Also waiting for the final decision. Thankfully, it will be relatively soon. Good luck!!!! How did you think/feel the interview went?

Anyone apply early decision to GWU's DrPH? Checking in.
