I received an email from Rutgers on March 10 saying that I was waitlisted.

I'm in the Health Policy track

Accepted to Johns Hopkins DrPH Program!!!! Absolutely elated. I received an ominous email at 8:27 AM EST to check the portal and my heart immediately sank. Congratulations to everyone receiving their decisions! It's been a long journey and it definitely felt like my life was on hold since I submitted in November.

What are the chances we will have DrPH decisions from Hopkins next week? I'm torturing myself trying to figure out if the first week of March is next week or the following. I saw lots of decisions on March 2nd last year, hopefully it will be the same this year!!

same!!!! I was just wondering if it is bad luck to try to unsubscribe...

You are welcome- I hope it is helpful insight! They seem very general but sometimes those can be the trickiest to maneuver. I've had two interviews for the DrPH program at Harvard and one interview for Boston University.

I have now had three interviews for DrPH programs and the questions are consistent. Why a DrPH? Why our school? Why now? This does seem to be a very competitive year with one school sharing that about 8% of applicants will be accepted. Good luck everyone with the interviews and stay strong/motivated in this final stretch!

I wouldn't lose hope yet- they mentioned they will be interviewing over the next couple of weeks

I interviewed with Boston University this week for the DrPH program and they confirmed decisions should be made by beginning of March. They shared that they will interview around 25 applicants for 8 spots. Good luck everyone and keep leading with what you are passionate about!

Hi Everyone! I applied to DrPH programs and interviewed with Harvard this week. I was told that if I am successful, I will interview with another committee member in 2-3 weeks with a final decision made by mid-Feb. These next 6-8 weeks are going to be stressful so I am thankful I am not the only one constantly refreshing my emails and checking portals. Would love to know when to expect something from Hopkins...
