do you have to accept by 4/15 or can you wait until GWU tells you if you get the scholarship?

anyone receive an admission decision from CUNY SPH? i applied to their community health phd. they are the last ones i am waiting on, been a looooong application cycle.

hey y'all i applied to GWU - phd global public health sciences on 12/1 and haven't heard aNYTHING LOL. they are no longer my top choice and i will not be attending even if i get in due to the location but i am wondering if anyone heard from global public health sciences? if you'd rather message me privately i'd love to hear any updates!

hi, same boat. i got an email from my program chair this week and she said the PAL will be released by March 7, and the DGE fellowships statuses will be released late March. i would reach out to the program chair, i got a response to my Qs within a day. the professors probably don't know whats going on with funding unless they told you they'd support you with their grant.

really, really, really feel you here. the only time i am able to disconnect and not think about it all is when i am not home and off my laptop. even during work i am constantly checking everything. i need distractions!!!

has anyone had communication with CUNY and could mention how it went? a faculty member reached out to me to discuss my particular area of interest in one of the research centers there. i only mentioned the center briefly since there isn't much information online and i (regretfully) did not meet with them before applying.

after interviewing, do you think it's reasonable (/polite) to reach out to the POI for an application update or should we stick to the program directors and not bother the POIs?

i am definitely overthinking this but - i haven't gotten any emails yet to "create a portal", though i haven't heard back from any schools either. do they send portal invites to everyone at once? or maybe the schools i applied to don't use portals for admission decisions.

hey all. did anyone receive communication from gwu global public health sciences phd since first submitting the app? i don't want to email them just yet.

i wouldn't worry! i'm open to messaging about it though if you'd like

phd sbps, the chat was specific to the POI funding. don't fret!!!

i receive a similar invite to chat from tulane who previously ~specifically~ said they don't interview for admissions. i wonder what the difference of using the terms "chat" vs "interview" is!

not all the schools i applied to have interviews and the ones that did told me january - february they'd reach out i think pre-winter break is too soon to worry about this. the apps are probably still in the admissions committee review and haven't reached professors.

I think that's a great idea! Especially since much of public health training has been online in the past few years. I was going to add my CITI certs for that section. Also -- anyone else still checking this thread? would love to connect! I'm applying to a long list of programs. Having a hard time narrowing it down when I am genuinely interested in the faculty's research. I know I should have reached out to faculty earlier to see if they're actually taking students. I only truly started this process in October, sent a few emails and haven't received responses - which I'm not reading into. Would love to hear if anyone is also applying to these!
