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.

Similar. IU: rejected Tulane: waiting Emory: no email but portal today shows denied and there is a decision letter there that states I wasn’t selected 😔. JHU: same as you, supposedly mid-March from their last email Rutgers: I asked for an update and got around the first week of March as the estimate. UNMC: forwarded to final review, they told me “by mid-April” but past years comments show it might come a bit sooner.

I got the same one, and my heart dropped when I saw the subject line of “Thank You for Your Interest in the DrPH Program” since that often signals to me it’ll be something like “thank you for your interest, sorry you weren’t selected” 😩😬. But I am happy it’s still in progress.

Yeah, that has also contributed to all of my optimism disappearing. Work is so depressing because of that, and now so is this 😩.

oh that’s a bummer, but I appreciate you sharing what you’ve heard. Thank you!

could you clarify - say that’s the deadline for notifications?

I appreciate your optimism! My job is federally funded so we have been very stressed lately and I’m struggling to find much positive in general. I did apply quite early for the programs I selected so I had hoped it might get me a decision right away.

Have you heard anything yet? I’m waiting on that too, it still shows application under review status in Opus for me. I saw someone else on this thread mentioned they did receive an acceptance for this track last week. I am feeling like that’s not good news for me at this point.

I haven’t heard, but I’m not feeling super optimistic about getting into the program so expecting a rejection anyway. Long shot, and with the current decimation of public health my optimism has just diminished :(.

Has anyone heard a decision or interview request from Rutgers? The last I had heard from them was decisions likely the last week of January, but I haven’t heard anything since.

That’s one I’ve applied to as well, and haven’t heard anything either. 🤞

Their DrPH in Global Health Leadership.

I have my first rejection today. Received via email from Indiana University.

I emailed a couple of times after my submission with a question and just today got an email answering it.

Thank you for sharing the info, and I’m sorry for the disappointing news but hope your other options work out to be the better fit.

When did you apply? I got the email confirmation my submission was complete and ready for review 11/21, and the email noted “The DrPH admissions committee will meet in February, and we expect to begin making offers of admission in March, but in some cases, decisions may take longer. We’ll be in touch if we need any further information.” I haven’t heard anything since that confirmation email.

I got one and it was automatically sent.

I’ve applied to Tulane as well!
