    Has anyone NOT heard from Hopkins HBS? I still haven't gotten anything in the mail...

    Thanks for the update!

    I haven't heard anything yet...but I think we will hear something by the end of the week

    I'm wondering if biostats or epidemiology is a better path for you. A lot of schools have certificate programs in "General Public Health" that would give you a taste of the five core areas of public health (health ed/behavioral science, policy, environmental health, epi, and biostats). Usually 15 credits and would transfer to the same school's MPH program, but the summer program also sounds like a good idea. From my experience, its hard to know what you like until you try it. But I think it is feasible to apply to start in Fall 2013 (especially with a letter of rec from someone who runs this summer program). You'll need a very solid quantitative GRE score as well, which is completely doable if you start practicing early. I hope this helps!

    Anyone get news from Hopkins HBS? I can't stop checking my status!!!

    Thanks for the advice! I think I'm going to ask for an extension regardless since I should probably know what kind of funding I'm getting before I accept an offer...

    FYI Hopkins HBS applicants! Emailed admissions committee chair about application status (another program wants a deposit in 2 weeks!) and was told "You will receive the decision letter at the end of next week."

    I received my official letter of acceptance to Temple's PhD in Social and Behavioral Health Sciences program...and I have to put down a deposit within the next two weeks or forfeit the spot. I don't expect to hear from Hopkins for 2-3 more weeks...so I should put in the deposit at Temple anyway? It's only $100... I also haven't received any information on funding from Temple yet, and was told they won't know for another month...should I ask for an extension until I hear about funding?

    I just got an email from the Admissions Commitee chair from Temple University...I got in! So happy to have peace of mind that I am going somewhere!!!

    Thanks for keeping us posted! I understand how you feel about being in limbo...but it's almost over!

    haha so random!

    It could be that some of their current PhD students are taking an extra year to complete their studies so they can't admit as many new students to replace them yet...all related to funding, of course!

    Good luck with USF and UMD! Both of my programs don't do interviews so I'm just waiting...6ish more weeks!

    What disciplines/programs have you been applying to at these schools?
