I'm in the same situation! I'm considering professors I would want to work with, expertise in specifc content I want to study, and expertise in skills. This is challenging! Both schools have professors I'd want to work with. School A is better at the skills I want to gain. School B has a specialty program in the content area I want to study. School A would be better for breadth. I don't want to be typecast. At the same time I have a specific area I want to focus my research in. School A is ranked 4. School B is ranked 11. To the extent that others put importance in ranking I am considering this. I visited School B earlier and was shocked by how warm everyone was (maybe it's a mid-west thing?) I'm visiting School A before I make my decision. Ultimately location may be a bigger deciding factor. Good luck deciding!

I heard back from Pitt (BCHS MPH) and Michigan (HBHE MPH) the week after my apps were recieved. All the literature said to expect a decision 4-6 weeks later though . I visited Pitt last summer and fell in love! It's certainly a small city/big town if you're coming from an urban area. This website might be helpful: http://www.city-data.com/forum/

If you've used accomadations at work or in school within I believe the last 2 years (but double check with ETS), then (depending on the accomadations you are requesting) you may be able to submit the COE with appropriate signatures indicating you recieved accomadations. Time and half is a fairly standard accomadation but if you are requesting a private room or extra breaks you may need to submit original doumentation. You may be able to submit documentation from your diagnosis in college depending on how recent it is. ETS isn't very clear on their process or requirements. Best of luck!

Shmuey-- You may still be able to apply to Pitt for the Fall. They changed some of their deadlines. Take a look http://www.publichealth.pitt.edu/interior.php?pageID=100
