I haven't interviewed! Also have no idea what to make of that. I also reached out to faculty beforehand and was told that informal meetings were not allowed, but it seems like others were able to meet with prospective PIs beforehand.... so unclear! Fingers crossed for us both!!

I’m wondering about this too!! Radio silence from SBS and even though the website says it isn’t mandatory, I wonder how common it is to be accepted without interview?

Just got a rejection from Emory epi! It was assumed since I wasn’t invited to interview. Congrats to everyone who got accepted!!

Good luck!!!!!!

Hi all!! I'm a first-time (v anxious) PhD applicant! I applied to a mix of programs: University of Toronto (epi), UW (health services), JHU (popfam), Harvard (PHS-SBS), Emory (epi), Brown (epi), McGill (epi), UNC (epi), and Columbia (epi) Has anyone heard from Columbia epi or Harvard SBS? Also, does anyone know if interviews are required for Emory and Brown? I didn't hear back so I'm taking that as a rejection (eep) but I have no idea what the process is/what to expect. Also, just to share info for others, I heard back from the following schools: JHU PopFam: emailed on 1/5 for interview UofT epi: emailed on 1/18 for interview UW: emailed on 1/19 for interview Thanks so much in advance, and hoping for the best for y'all!! Wishing we could fast-forward to March!!

It’s definitely possible that there’s more than one round! I have no idea if they’re required either so I absolutely wouldn’t take it as a rejection. This is super stressful and I’m sending lots of good vibes your way!

I just had interviews and they are going until Friday so I’d be very surprised if they sent out decisions this week! I think it will probably be at least a few weeks! Editing to say sharing good vibes that we all get in soon!!

I applied to Brown PhD (epi) and haven't heard anything!

Does anyone know if the PhD in PHS (SBS) at Harvard requires interviews? If anyone has been invited to interview and can reply that would be super helpful! The website says that they are "neither necessary nor guaranteed" but not sure if that's just for external comms! Thanks and best of luck, all

I also applied to SBS at Harvard and Epi at UNC and haven’t heard back. Does anyone know if interviews are required for both programs?
