Two more hours until work day ends for the schools I applied to... !!!

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=94 The forum above caters specifically to the MPH crowd. You may want to check it out if you haven't already.

bump. Anyone know if they give interviews for the ScD program (epi or other fields)?

Don't be so negative! *sigh* another day gone... but one day closer to next week!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x

You could watch a bunch of movies or play games to pass the time. Time flies when you're having fun, haha.

The writing is endless... I'm aiming for a first draft of a paper to be done by bed time tonight. Tomorrow I'll begin the second paper! lol

PhD Epi for me!

This week could be the week!! But in reality, I expect to hear back from at least two school in the last week of February. Baaaaaaaaaa!!!

Woah, you're right... and they have five divisions in the school that offer PhD programs. If 5 matriculate, then let's say they admit 10 in total, that's still only 2 per division. Is this the most competitive school in terms of PhD? The only other school I know of with low admit rate is Emory PhD Epi with 100 applicants for 5 spots. :cry:

I work best under pressure.

1 out of 4? That's similar to Columbia. I'm surprised that HSPH isn't more selective. Why is Yale so competitive? Over 200 applicants and only 5 matriculating...

The epi dept. is sending out their decision in a week or so! Any idea how competitive JHU is compared to other big schools of pub. health like Columbia or Harvard? Just as a side note, the wikipedia page on Harvard School of Pub. Health states that they receive 10,000 applicants a year, of which 4.5% are offered admission... seriously? 10k!!!???

I would rather take the fellowship. Being funded by a fellowship doesn't mean you can't take on teaching responsibilities, but you're not forced to either. It's a win-win situation.

What? JHU acceptance?

Still waiting.......................................................... :|

Still nothing on my end yet, lol.

Only geeks get it. I don't get it, phew.

Start of a new week. Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping to wake up to a decision as well, hopefully late next week or early in the following.

I guess for health policy there are interviews. But for epi and public health there does not seem to be any. I was just wondering because I'm expecting decisions to be made in the next couple of weeks and hopefully we're still in the running. :S

Do any of you know if JHU send out interview invitations or do they have direct acceptance?

I started listening to Avril Lavigne. Need that upbeat music to keep me motivated hehe.

Congrats on your acceptance!
