Just got another rejection, sigh. And yes, I've heard that PhD admissions are impacted by the funding cuts. Such bad timing, especially when I am thinking about applying again next year :'-)

Thank you! This is health policy, and I'll share the exact name once the admissions process is over (since I don't want to spoil the only good thing that I have, haha).

Just posting a quick update after my interview in case anyone’s curious about what can happen next: The school that interviewed me is flying me out for an in-person visit in March! I’m honestly shocked; this is a top program that accepts very few students. Still waiting to hear back from other programs and trying to stay hopeful.

Wow, that's crazy urgent! But congrats!

The wave of rejections this week hurts :'-) At least I got one interview last month.

That's how I felt about my alma mater with my master's, lol.

Wow, you're on a roll! That's actually the same program that I applied for.

Ah, you're right; my apologies. It's right here at the bottom of the page: https://publichealth.nyu.edu/admissions/apply/doctor-philosophy-public-health-phd :'-)

Oh gosh, I'm crossing our fingers for us! I don’t want to overthink this, but is it possible to still be accepted without an interview at this point? I spoke with a professor at another university who mentioned that applicants they’re interested in but have questions about their applications are typically interviewed. Now this is me inferring; those they’re confident about might receive acceptances directly?

Oh, I didn't know that! Is that how NYU operates: send rejections, then conduct interviews with some applicants? So, there's hope for us?

Hope the interview went well! NYU is another school that I hope to hear back from...

I've applied for Hopkins but haven't heard back 😕 Apparently, someone shared in the Grad Cafe results that they got an interview from Hopkins 🥲 And good luck to you as well!
