2 weeks to get a letter in the mail from Georgia....that's ridiculous!

Received official rejection letters from Tulane & Emory...just waiting to hear from the rest on the list!

Can't remember if I posted this, but I heard from Tulane that they do not conduct interviews (occasionally they will have phone interviews, but not a requirement for admission) and notify folks by snail mail. I applied to the Global Community and Behavioral Sciences Department.

For UIC, I applied to the Community Health Sciences department...received the letter in the mail last night. Also, for anyone who applied to Emory's Behavioral Sciences & Health Education (BSHE) department- if you haven't heard from them about an interview by now then you're most likely not getting an invite (BSHE folks sent out the invites for interviews to applicants already).

Did anyone apply to UIC on here? I think I saw that...if you did, check your app status online!

thanks!

I've applied all across the board because i'm interested in women's health which falls under different departments depending on the school/specific research interests matching my own. USF was Community & Family Health, UMD was Maternal & Child Health, and Hopkins was Population, Family & Reproductive Health.

Hey everyone! I've been reading on this site for awhile and decided to register...wanted to jump in to let people know that from what I've heard (from the schools I've applied & others in the process) most schools will do at least a phone interview for doctoral applicants. Many public health schools do the usual phone and then on-campus invite interview as well. From my list of schools, I know that UMD and USF conduct interviews. I've already completed the phone for USF and I'm going to the college for the on-campus portion in February. UMD conducts on-campus interviews only, or at least the MCH department does. I received a rejection letter from Hopkins last week- wasn't too surprised about this since I know that the school has reached out to people to interview. Seeing as no one called me, I figured I was rejected (also that school was a reach for me). For GW, specific departments conduct in person interviews (no phone)...I know for a fact the Health Behavior program does this (received my MPH from GW & my adviser was one of the professors who interview applicants to this department). Anywho, hope this helps! I hate the waiting game...I thought the first time applying was stressful, but this round seems to have been worse! Good luck to everyone!
