aDrPH

I’m so sorry to hear. You’ve been so supportive to so many people in this forum. I wish you the best!

My background is primarily focused in health equity with progressive leadership roles in the public and private sectors. I did my undergrad and masters in public health at top 10 schools. I have research experience and publications. However, I feel like everyone on this forum is equally or more successful in their own ways. What I think helped me was really spending time writing and rewriting my statement of purposes to show how my personal experiences aligned with the schools to which I was applying. I referenced problems that I saw in the world and how I tried to address/investigate them through my work and future aspirations. So most of my paragraphs had the backbone of problem identification -> process to address problem -> outcome and impact. I was not surprised that I was rejected from Hopkins because I only spent 1.5 days on the application and was rushed to get it done due to my work schedule at the time. I didn’t give myself time to go through the iterative process, and it was by far the weakest application that I submitted. I had more time to work on the other schools’ application. So if there’s any advice that I can give to future applicants is really give yourself enough time to go through the writing process. I hope this helps!

It appears to be an admitted students portal that is created if you’re accepted to the program. I didn’t have access to the portal before today.

Thank you! 🥹

Received a rejection from Hopkins HE/SJ yesterday and an acceptance from Tulane DrPH today! What a whirlwind Here are my results for all the schools I applied to: UIC DrPH - accepted GW DrPH - accepted Tulane DrPH - accepted UMD PhD - accepted Hopkins DrPH- rejected

Same!

That’s so thoughtful of your husband! Wishing all of us the best!!

Has anyone received a decision update from the Hopkins DrPH Health Equity and Social Justice concentration yet?

Anxiously awaiting!! Hopkins and Tulane are the last 2 schools from which I’m waiting to hear. 🤞🏼

Decisions are definitely going out in waves. UIC gave a short deadline to respond, while other programs gave me until April 15th. They’ll probably have results go out throughout March.

Thanks! I applied a couple days before the application deadline

Congratulations!!

Thank you!

I received my acceptance letter from GW this week for the DrPH program, so it seems like notifications are going out

I just heard back from UIC this week with an acceptance for the DrPH program. Communication is probably going out in waves

Same, they told me mid Feb as well at the end of my interview

Same, haven’t heard back since my interview a few weeks ago. Did you apply to the residential or online program?

Has anyone heard from UIC DrPH program? Do they interview applicants?

Congratulations!!! Did you have an interview with the school?

So exciting!! I have my interview next week and am so nervous!

Congrats on your interview!!! Do you mind sharing how it went and what it was like?
