[PhD / DrPh Fall 2022]

Just got an email from my PI at the University of Florida Epi PhD program to say that I have been accepted ?. The official letter will follow later this week. I definitely gave up on this one because I interviewed over a month ago. Y’all, please don’t give up hope like I did! ?
 

So far, it’s 2 acceptances (U of Arizona and Florida), 2 rejects (U of Washington and Boston University), and 1 pending (U of Minnesota).

Anyone here accepted to the University of Arizona's Epi program? I received an acceptance and would love to connect with others!

I prepped for interviews by making sure I could answer questions like:

• Why a PhD?
• Why this program?
• What faculty I want to work with?
• Dissertation ideas?

And of course, be ready to talk about your background, and have some questions prepared that are about the program in general and about the faculty member's own research.

I also found it helpful to connect with current students prior to interviewing.

Good luck!

100% concur. Also keep in mind questions like “What are you looking for in a supervisor or what expectations do you have for your supervisor in terms of the support you envision they will offer you”?

Hi all, I just received an email from Boston University to join their Student Coffee Chats. I just wanted to know if this a good sign or if everyone received it? 
 

I did get that email as well. I think it’s sent out to everyone. February is just next week! Let’s see how it goes ☺️

Thanks for the info!! Do you know normally when they release the decisions?

I have UW Epi and Boston Epi as well. I reached out to the program coordinator at UW and he said they would be sending out decisions sometime this week. It’s already Thursday so any moment from now! Remain hopeful!

I spoke to the director yesterday and it sounds great! Definitely still a top choice for me!

Hey! I also applied to the same program at UW. When you say “spoke”, do you mean actual phone calls or just emails ?

I am one of the applicants for the fall 2021 session. It's been 2 months since the application deadline and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about when admission decisions will be made?
