Yeah thanks?! Been revising that one and will get it submitted before the due date.

2/2 replied for a zoom call , both of the programs are committee based so POIs have no say in admission decisions. Plan to maybe reach out to another two or three next week.

I was planning on applying next yr, but because of COVID I decided to apply this yr to test the water, can always decline an offer if I decide to. Only applying to the schools I would 200% want to attend, and if I don't get an offer, I'll work another year and reapply.

Hi everyone, decided to only apply to 2 programs (3 the most). I'm an international student and I can only afford to go to schools with full funding. We'll see how it goes. If I don't get any offer then I'll add a few more programs next yr. Undergrad GPA from an international institution : 3.5ish Grad GPA from a U.S. institution: 3.97 GRE: will take early next month. Aim for the 90% for V&Q. Publications: my sore throat. Only a 6th author publication so that basically means nothing?. Might submit a first author by the time of application. Experiences: Graduated 5 yrs ago, but my international status has created some gaps. Been working in academia consistently for 3 yrs. Did a few RAships and one TAship during my 3 yr masters. Research interests: implementation research, my struggle has been to figure out how to narrow it down, to me, this is more like a methodology that you could apply to all populations and diseases, and public health is collaborative in nature so I don't have to be an expert in one specific disease. But I doubt program would like the candidate not having a more narrowed focus. LORs: I think all my 3 LORs will come relatively strong. All of them are either full heartedly IR researcher or have grants with IR focus. Target programs: UCSF Epi & Translational, UW Global Health in IR. I actually only want to go to UCSF. I think I'm a little bit crazy having that mindset. Rational being location & curriculum & mentorship in IR. As an international student, I don't mind doing global health but quantitative courses will make me more competitive in the job market. I don't have any epi experience at all so I find it a bit challenging writing the statement to articulate my purpose. My master program has great mentorship in IR, but I hope to go to a bigger city and expand my networks. Good luck everyone!

So, anyone going there? You could PM me or facebook me ! There is a facebook group of WUSTL Brown School 2012 students~! Brown school doesn't offer dorms. So maybe we could become roommates.

Need Your Help! How Much Did UChicago Offer You in Aid?
XXXXXXphd2021 replied to vpsf's topic in Social Workers Forum
I was offered $12000 for the first year, renewable for the next year. However, I mistook the deposit due date so they withdraw my scholarship. They could only offered $2500 for the first year then. (That's what will happen when the funds are running out) -
I missed UChicago's due date....So I have decided to attend WUSTL instead. A terrible mistake but I should be responsible for myself. Even considering applying for MPH/MSW dual degree after I enter.

NYU- Silver School of Social Work
XXXXXXphd2021 replied to missdanielle's topic in Social Workers Forum
I already declined. Hope the spot will be available for others~~ -
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!! Congrats!!! That's cool!!

Well, I think some schools have preferences of high GPA and GRE, some do not. So you have something you value but you don't get in, it just means that this program isn't the best fit for you. We don't need to get accepted by every program to prove we are good or sth. If you have a great GPA, job well-done. But as others said, maybe you should value others' strengths as well. We are all unique and we are not just a bunch of numbers. Also, if you hate social work programs for relying on experiences, maybe you should really think twice. Those programs are professional ones. They choose their students for a reason. They believe their students can become great social workers...Can all the programs be wrong? Hmm... It may be harsh for you to hear all these and it must be a difficult time. But we are just offer advises. On the internet we don't know each other, if not just one people, but several, think you have a somewhat inappropriate attitude, maybe you should consider why. I hope these don't sound rude. I'm an international, so maybe my writing sucks and you feel offended. Then I'm sorry about that. Angela, I think you are hot! (If the word "hot" doesn't go in a wrong way...again I'm an international and I use this word to express that you looks great!) You changed your photos several times and I like each of them =)!!

When I saw this I laughed out really loud, literally. They just couldn't understand how the waiting is killing us, could they. Well, ok, this is a busy time bla bla.
-
Lol. We really have similar taste. Actually I just turned NYU down. The only reason I applied is to see how much money it gives and go to other universities arguing about the scholarship...like..NYU gives me ... Upenn gives me.. so would you give me more? Ah I'm greedy ha. (But the decision just came out so late....!) You are an excellent applicant. Having two professors called you? That's really something. =) Maybe Michigan will offer you more..
-
That's awful. I would feel terrible if the same happened to me. Just wait and see the final decision...I got rejected by Global Special Program. Finger crossed for you!! As far as I know, one of a Chinese student for 2010 Fall got accepted by the community one in April. （Interestingly, she declined the admission in March）So... wait .. and wait.. and wait.... that's all we can do... Did they accept your request?
-
Hey Teacup. I am wondering whether you send your application out or not! I completed it like the last minute but it still went pretty good! Finger crossed for you!!
-
I will go to UChicago if everything goes well ... UMichigan is my top choice but it doesn't offer $$ for internationals. Anyone going to UChicago too? Ha, we can be friends !
-
When choosing the school, I'll consider the $$$. Chicago may be more expensive, even taking scholarships into consideration. So I think Michigan is great for you! =)

from the facebook prospective and admitted student page they said one type of GA contacted applicants already. the other didnt conect yet. u could check there.. I didnt apply for GA so Im not sure. Just had a glance
-
in my case I talked about how excellent I am.. LOL.. I said if they didnt offer, I couldnt afford. I may go o other schoolswith more aid resources and that would be a pity for both UPenn and me..LOL again..
-
9.5k is kinda good. I heard that Columbia didnt offer much aid. There were discussions before. But again wont hurt I suppose
