In at Yale EHS and committing 🥳 Please message me to connect if your committing to Yale! Good luck to everybody with their journey!!

Did you interview? There was an in-person interview event for all departments 2 weeks ago.

Of course! I applied to Pediatric/Perinatal as my top choice, environmental as second, and methodology as 3rd choice.

I was also accepted to UNC this evening! With no interview though. I was sort of expecting it, because a professor with similar interest viewed my LinkedIn recently lol. I didn't get any info on which track or mentor I was accepted to or funding yet. DM me if you wanna connect

I was just about to ask about this! Nervous because it's a top program for me but I've heard nothing from them. I applied to psychiatric epi, hbu?

Anybody else feel a dagger in their heart when their interviewer mentions other interviews? Like ugh I thought we had something special 🥺😂

Yup, it's so rude. Emory sent me an interview invite for 1 specific date, 8 hours long, with not even a 15-minute break. It's so rude I'm truly considering not attending because of how poorly that reflects on a program. I just can't imagine how they treat their students, it's a major red flag.

I applied to Columbia Epi this year (my interests in at the intersection of EHS and environmental epi) but last year I applied to EHS. I haven't heard anything this year, but I attended the in-person interview day and the invites went out later than most other programs, around the week of 01/20.

No, I did not! Have you heard anything? I've seen results saying people had received interview invites. I applied to both. I interviewed at Harvard last year and was rejected, so I guess their decision stands firm 🤷‍♀️

I received an invite for EHS!

Looks like Harvard and UNC interview invites are out? Does anybody know if this is for all tracks?

Hey everyone! Looking for some advice. I just got an accepted to a PhD in Epidemiology! The work at this school seems really exciting and my potential PI is very nice. I'm elated to have received such an early acceptance. Although-they want a $500 deposit by end of January. This is way too soon and a lot of money. I will have likely not have a decision from any other schools at this point. Does anybody know how to handle this? Would asking for an extension work? I could risk it and pay the money- but if I then decide to decline I am leading on my PI and wasting a spot for a different candidate and I'd hate to do that. Any advice?

hahah! I guess we are all growing anxious with the wait. Fingers crossed for the both of us!!

Anybody hear from Columbia EHS track? Interviewed with them a month ago, no word back yet.
