I rejected JHU's offer. The stipend is not great and the environment is very stressful here. Do what is best for you and go where you will be happy! JHU is a soft money school so mentorship is NOT great.

Hey! Yes, accepted with fellowship funding. Still trying to arrange a time to meet with the faculty before I decide.

Hey, I got into GWU SBS around 2/14. I might not accept the offer, but still considering and waiting to talk to the faculty. Happy to chat over the DM if you have questions 🙂

The BU epi dept usually interviews 15-20 people for 3-5 spots ?

Anyone hear from JHU Health Behavior and Society yet? App still says under review. ?

thank youuuuu ?

Officially received admissions to University of Pittsburgh BCHS! ? so happy

I definitely emailed professors way in advance like early august. Before I emailed I read about the faculty on the school pages and also checked the NIH RePORT to see if they had any grants that I could work under https://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm. Tried to set up zoom chats and then developed a solid elevator speech about what i want to do and how that fits with their current work, made sure I had at least 2 questions about their research ready to go in each meeting. In terms of myself I did a second masters program, was able to help a previous mentor with a book chapter, submitted three invited articles from projects I had worked on in my first masters. I also work full time in the field I want to study so was able to talk about practical applications of the potential research in my application. but this has been super exhausting and I am ready to just commit to a program and focus on being only a student for a while. This time I applied to 11 schools: - interviewed with 6 so far -rejected from 1 but the poi I had talked to left the school before the application review began, bummer ? -assume rejection from 1 because no interview -3 programs I have just not heard from or read about on the main results page hope this helps!

Thank you! ? very exciting, this is my second application cycle!

originally I emailed and zoomed with the PI back in sept. submitted my app in nov. didnt hear anything until this week (monday). PI said the dept didnt make me do an interview because I had already met with her. before getting her email I thought I was going to get rejected because I saw on the main results page a few weeks ago that people mentioned interviewing for the program.

I heard from drexel for the community health and prevention program. poi and director of doctoral program emailed me about funding sources and said official letter to come.

No worries! And thanks for sharing!

Congrats!!! Which program?

Woot woot! Congrats friend ?

did anyone ever hear from Brown BSHS? i didn't get an interview invite so I am assuming rejection but they haven't said a single thing. not even a "hey we got your app" when I submitted in Nov.

GWU SBS ?

Yay! congrats! also got one last night ?

The SBS dept sent an email the other day saying they would start interviewing on Jan 26th!

anyone hear from GWU?

actually though! maybeeeeee it means we will all get accepted and are worrying for no reason.

seriously the stress is gonna make me break out ?

I am also obsessively checking the portal. ?

search "hopkins" in the main results page, I have been doing that!

Just in general has any one heard from JHU IH-SBI or JHU HBS-SBS? No interview or anything but I was seeing people are getting rejected. My apps both say under review. I have class with a lot of these professors this term so its gonna be ssupppperrrrrrr awkwarddddd if I get straight up rejected.

I also dont want to be annoying haha. I was thinking about texting my recommender to see if they contacted them. But I was also thinking that they might not contact anyone until they decide who is admitted. I remember reading we would only be considered if we were admitted.
