Does anyone have any estimate for stipend at UNC in the cancer epi department? And funding sources in general?

waiting for UNC feels like a prank at this point

This is wonderful Qantu, thanks so much. I’ve been reflecting on my Harvard app a lot, considering that it is my dream school. I’ll get in touch after I hear back from all my schools. Thanks again!

People who got into UNC PHD EPI but don’t intend to go please let them know!!

While I think you’re right I wouldn’t lose hope yet- the reason being that DrPh (as opposed to PhD) is not funded.. so unfortunately sometimes people have to pass on the opportunity based on personal circumstances and fellowship availability. I hope everything works out for everyone, and I respect your realistic view of the process (having been through this), but don’t lose hope until you there’s reason to!

Hey— when did you receive this decision?

I haven’t seen any JHU DrPH postings here about a rejection yet- correct me if I may have missed it

I’m almost certain you’re accepted or WL by jhu considering the pattern of them sending out emails (non-rejections today apparently)

Despite the shitshow this cycle felt like- I still have this unexplainable hope in my heart regarding our life/career trajectories - and how the best possible outcome will be revealed to us time (possibly retrospectively and on the time scale of years)

Hey- did you receive an email? Idk why but since submitting in SOPHAS I didn’t even get a mail to a portal..

Best of luck everyone❤️ I know this week might feel tense, but atleast it feels good to know how close we are to knowing

Reminder to please let schools know if you’ve decided to not go ahead with them!! Let’s all keep our hopes up ❤️❤️❤️

Tbh after reading this I don’t even feel bad anymore 😂😂WOW. 8 first author AND PI OF A GRANT. You’re the dream candidate. Welp now I’m like is that the standard. I’m international too! 2 first author and 7 other papers. No grants !! 😳. I’m PMing you NOW

People who were accepted or waitlisted in Hopkins and Harvard PhD in epi, do you mind DMing me or responding to this comment with your profile (type and years of experience, # publication etc )? Really want to get all the info I can incase I try again

I didn’t think I was this attached to the outcome- really feeling all the emotions.

Been having brain fog for the last week. The same analyses id get so easily and implement I’m taking like double the time to do. I guess it’s the imposter syndrome from everything that’s making it this way

😭 my heart .

Hi! When did you receive the waitlist for PHS? Is it Epi?

The way I resonate with your username 😅 and I agree. I’m so surprised at how uphill everything has felt. The amount of unknowns, the lack of transparency about processes. Hope we all get good news soon!

Yes I should clarify that I’m speaking for my experience alone- aka PhD in epidemiology

Hopkins would’ve sent out rejects by now to everyone

I’m still quite confused by what they mean by this - it is very ambiguous 😆 I wish I could get a historic 2x2 table of admission status vs recieving interview status

Thank you for the details! I too applied for cancer track.. if it’s by faculty I assume I’ll give it another day for the faculty they pair me with, to extend the email. Trying to be positive! thank you so much! You’re amazing. I wish you the best 😊❤️❤️❤️

It’s so interesting that it’s a timed release.. sigh. My heart can’t handle this 😅😅😅

Congratulations!! Did they notify you by email? I’m panicking now……
