I’m with you minus any employer help. Mortgage plus kids = potentially taking the least expensive option I have even if it might not be the top choice otherwise. Unfortunately I work for a university that doesn’t offer DrPH, so any benefits they have are just for tuition at their own institution and nothing for classes elsewhere. Are the fellowships ones with the school you’ll be attending specifically or more general ones?

If I don’t get off the waitlist for Tulane and don’t get into UNMC, I do plan to accept for Rutgers. If I end up with both or either of those as options, I will be reevaluating and cost is definitely a factor (UNMC costing the least as they charge in-state tuition for everyone in the program).

Update: rejection letter posted in the portal now. No email yet, I kept refreshing in the portal and it showed up finally.

Same…I just want them to make it official. 😑

I just got an email notifying me I was accepted into Rutgers program!

I don’t know, but I’m in the same position you are with mine saying application under review still (health security track for me) and I have the sinking feeling they sent out acceptance notifications first, that it won’t be good news 😔. I hope I’m wrong! I haven’t seen anyone here or on the DrPH Reddit board say anything other than accepted or still under review, so it doesn’t seem like anyone has received rejections yet.

Congrats! That’s what I applied to as well, still under review. You’re the first one I’ve seen report acceptance from this track between here and Reddit!

Congrats! Which concentration (and track if applicable) did you get into?

Someone on Reddit posted this: JHU Implementation Science folks: expect decisions THIS WEEK!! They uploaded decisions to SOPHAS last week and will notify students of their decision no later than Friday. Good luck!! So, take that for whatever it’s worth. Might only be that track, but still can give a little hope.

That’s awesome - this is a top choice for what I want to do with it so it would be a good fit for me in that regard. I appreciate the little bit of hope offered 😆

Well, I was waitlisted for Tulane. Better than the first two rejections at least, now to continue waiting to see if space opens up. I wonder how many they put on a waitlist.

Thank you - makes me feel better I didn’t miss something earlier.

Had you already registered in their portal? I don’t think any of my communications so far have mentioned one.

I really hope you get some acceptances from those four!

I was in for pandemic preparedness, maybe it’s specific for programs. Or perhaps it’s good if yours wasn’t flagged yet! I saw on a Reddit board someone mentioning the portal updates which is why I went to check.
