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.

got into JHU epi PhD from waitlist. It's hard to decide, since the mentor in USC is really impressive. Would that be too much to reject JHU because my view of the mentor?

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 🙂 

Anyone received funding info from Drexel CHP PhD?

Has anyone heard from NYU SBS PhD or GWU SBS PhD yet?? I interviewed over a month ago and I'm freaking out 

Is anyone else REALLY struggling to stay calm/positive during this process? I hate just anxiously waiting and checking my email every ten minutes and looking at every update on the results page and overthinking everything and it is just taking a toll on me 

YAY! Congrats friend! ?

Just got an interview invite from UNC for the PhD in Health Behavior! ?
Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back. I know that this process is so agonizing, but I hope that we can all hold space for the amazing feats we've already accomplished and will continue to accomplish, with or without admittance to a program. You are enough and you are worthy, no matter what. 

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!

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. 

That's amazing, congrats!

Congrats! I received an NYU GPH SBS invite today too!

No worries! And thanks for sharing!

Not many people seem to have applied to this program(They seem to accept only 1-2 applicants every year) so specifically mentioning it may easily reveal who I am and I try to refrain from that, sorry.
But the school is GW, and the program is neither Epi nor SBS, I can tell you that

Woot woot! Congrats friend ?
