DrPH Dan

So sorry to hear that @HN1. Has anyone else heard back about the Bloomberg Fellowship? The waiting game is awful right now….

I saw they mentioned sometime in March, but looking back from previous years, decisions came out pretty fast after the admittance. Having just wrapped up my anxiety of being admitted into a program, this next wait is amping me up once again. Every email is a skipped heartbeat! I was accepted into the customized track. What about yourself?

Anybody hear back about the Bloomberg Fellowship? Or at least know when we will hear back? So excited to have been accepted to Hopkins DrPH, but this is a very expensive program ?

Unfortunately, I do not know

Emailed BU, GWU, JHU, Harvard, & Columbia (all DrPH) about whether all interview invites already went out, whether an interview is needed for admission, and timeline for hearing back. Here are the responses thus far: GWU - Still reviewing apps. Next steps will be given in the next few weeks. Columbia (SMS) - No interviews are given for doctoral apps. Initial decisions mid-part of February. Will report back when I get more responses!
