Where are you all seeing the results roll out? My application is still under review as well and I chose the custom track with JHU.
the results page here: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php people are kind enough to share when they hear back.

To the Hopkins crew, looks like some waitlist results are coming out starting at the Global Health track. Likely working their way down the list, track by track, again today.

Re: patterns with JHU results, it seems to me that acceptances are being released in batches by concentration/track. The first few acceptances posted this morning were for Environmental, then a bit later someone posted an acceptance for Global Health, then the most recent acceptances were for Health Policy & Management. I imagine we might hear from some folks about acceptances for Implementation Science and Women's and Repro Health before the end of the day.
For those of us who are still "under review" for those concentrations/tracks that have already released some acceptances, I think it's likely bad news. I'm personally planning to stock up on my favorite sweet treats in preparation for a rejection notice tomorrow. I'll allow myself to be disappointed for a day or two. But there is always another cycle next year if some of us choose to apply again!
Another heartfelt congratulations to those who were accepted today! You should all be very proud!
That's my expectation too. Maybe they left a few slots in some of the concentrations to later "argue it out," For instance, there may be people who the admissions committee maybe be really struggling to make a determination between, but in general, I think it's a no for most of us waiting.

Just got notified that I got into the JHU DrPH Health Policy and Management program. I applied for the Healthcare Management & Leadership Track. Holding my breath on the fellowship application status. Good luck everyone!
Congrats! I'll assume I'm a pass this year then since that was my track, and my application is still "under review"! 🙂 Good luck on the fellowship!

I received the decision on the Bloomberg Fellowship on March 15 last year (didn't get it!). I decided to defer my acceptance to the program a year and apply for the fellowship one more time - incredibly slim chances, but worth a shot.
I also applied to Nebraska this year, so in the event funding does not work out for JHU again I am hoping to be accepted to UNMC since it is a more affordable program. And in that event, I will withdraw admission to JHU and hope that someone on the waitlist can take that place instead!
Oh, that's great to know! Thank you. I was going off of the website deadline. Nice to know they will likely make the decisions a tad faster. Good luck to you.

Despite the shitshow this cycle felt like- I still have this unexplainable hope in my heart regarding our life/career trajectories - and how the best possible outcome will be revealed to us time (possibly retrospectively and on the time scale of years)
Absolutely agreed. Public health, specifically, is a field where age and experience will only help you as you go. As you see more of the world, see system gaps and where/why they exist, you can better see where you might be able to change it for the better. I pivoted drastically in my mid-20's, and again in my early 30's. If I get in, fantastic; if I don't, there are other pathways, and this one might just be put on pause.
I've done everything I could; it will be what it will be.

Congratulations!! Curious, did they offer any funding?
DrPH only offers funding through the Fellowship program. They will begin reviewing Fellowship applications after acceptances are sent out (only accepted candidates are reviewed). No other funding is provided for DrPH candidates. Everyone should know by end of March if they get a fellowship slot.

Not yet
My husband sent me to a spa for the day where they are locking up my phone because I'm losing it... Hopefully, we'll all know something by my return tonight 🫠
I know that feeling! After every result, I'm refreshing my phone 🤣Spent the morning filling out birthday cards for my son, and trying to get my head back in the game for meetings this afternoon. Refreshing data spreadsheets is not a cognitive intensive enough task right now to distract me.

Health Policy and Management Track - Overdose Prevention Fellowship. No interview. I did meet with a faculty member and, then later on, with a member of the Bloomberg Overdose Prevention Initiative project back in August though to share my goals and see if it would be a fit.

Hello all fellow JHU DrPH applicants.....suffering. I feel you. I can't focus and am a bundle of nerves. Applied in 2020 (for 2021) and made it onto the waitlist- that was as far as I got. I feel like this application is significantly better this time round, but I've resided in the idea I'll be rejected. Have seen some people were interviewed, and I am guessing this might be specific per chosen stream/school. I've applied to the health security track, and just wondering if there is anyone else that has as well? Any further intel/progress- get an interview? I just want this to be over already.
Interviews are rare and in the minority across all the tracks, I believe. Likely there's a fit question, or clarification the admission committee wants, that they didn't garner from the application itself. So it's really a "let me double check that specific candidate." The Bloomberg Overdose Prevention candidate I spoke to was never interviewed, nor was she aware of anyone in her cohort who was. She said, "maybe one or two?"

I called! There are no decisions released yet or date decided however we could hear sometime this week (no guarantee). Once decisions are made we will get an email to check the portal.
Too highly qualified applicants! We're giving them a run for their money. 😆

Hey! Has anyone reached out to Hopkins to ask about decisions dates? I just went off of previous years with the March 1st, but I realized I never checked in with anyone in admissions. So I was wondering if ya'll had done so.
Nope! I had gone off of the previous years and their website that says, "Communications of offers: Early March." Going through the results searches over the last few years:
Here's the spread I see on here:
- 2023: March 1st (Wednesday)
- 2022: March 1-3rd (Tuesday-Thursday)
- 2021: March 2nd (Tuesday)
- 2020: March 3rd (Tuesday)
- 2019: March 11th (Monday)
- 2018: March 7th (Wednesday)
2019 is an outlier, I'm not sure if that was someone waitlisted or they pushed back acceptances that year from COVID? Either way, without calling, my assumption on previous trends are we should hear back this week.

JHU DrPH applicants, what does your application status say in the graduate admissions portal? Does it say "Submitted" or "Under Review"?
Under Review.

Haha. Agreed. Also, it seems to me that JHU released acceptances on March 1st and March 2nd. Is that what others think? I'm just wondering because March 1st is a Friday. Anyway, none of it really matters being out of my control, but it's nice to have clear expectations.
It's a fair assumption that it should either be this Friday or early next week, but there's no guarantee when it comes to anything administrative. I'm really hoping I know THIS Friday though.

JHU DrPH people: How are you feeling going into the week. They generally release results March 1st, yes?

I'm also being scored this week for a job role that would significantly bump up by income by about $15k a year. I'll be on the hiring list, but that score will determine whether it's likely I'll be interviewed. They only interview the top two at a time.
All my nails are chewed off as I wait! 😆

Hopkins would’ve sent out rejects by now to everyone
Just for clarification sake - Hopkins DrPH is still awaiting results. From past years, we'll likely know in 2 weeks.

Anyone applying to JHU online DrPh, have you found the course schedule for that program? Looking at the registrar website, the list includes both online and in person courses, so wasn’t sure if I was looking at the right place. Trying to see how feasible the online DrPh is with a full time job.
Definitely doable. I spoke to a current DrPH student working with the Bloomberg Overdose Prevention Initiative Project last fall. She worked full time in addition to having a toddler. She initially thought that she would have to move a bit slower (only 1 class at a time) but was able to balance 2-3.
The program expects people to be working full-time really.

Just out of curiosity, do we need to reach out to faculty members before submitting the application? (Especially for programs that are committee based.)
I think this is really program specific. I had outreached to JHU faculty ahead of applying because what I want to look into is very niche and I really need to create an advisory team no matter where I applied (cross section of Intellectual Disability and Substance Use).
When I outreached to faculty at JHU, I was informed it was very rare. Most of the connections basically said "no" and dismissed any follow-ups. I did meet with one super helpful professor who introduced me to her team and connected me with regional resources.
I was informed that JHU has a matching process, so my outreach was considered unnecessary. However, on my end I thought it was vital since I did not want to waste my time and energy applying to a school if no one would be able/willing to work with me. For reference, I applied to Health Policy and Management.

I am in high school and applying to colleges in my state as well as out of state. In Florida where I live, University of Florida is a good school for the undergrad courses and I may get full scholarship due to the state programs. I am also planning to apply University of Berkeley and other out of state universities where the annual fee can be close to 60K per year. My question is for undergraduate course is it worth to study in a highly ranked university and spend almost a quarter million, whereas I can study almost free of cost in any universities in my state.
I am planning to do a PhD after the undergrad course, in that case does it matter where I did my undergrad course for any future job interviews.? or it matters only where I did Ph.D.?
Please advise.
Your undergraduate degree program only matters to your graduate program. After that, your graduate degree program will only matter to your first few years into the job market. Usually your first job only. After that, usually only the degree itself only matters - not where you received it. There are a few exceptions (i.e. research connections helping out your company), but that's incredibly rare.
In short, save your money. Your frugalness and going to a solid university will help your narrative more as being pragmatic and future thinking. In addition to set you up for financial success in your personal life.

Philadelphia is very doable, as are the Philadelphia suburbs depending on where you go in Philly. I've lived in Philly for 8 years without needing to drive. You have trains, buses, trolley, and the subway system. Is is very comprehensive. Most places are within a 20-45 minutes trip for $3.25 at most (one transfer).
However some areas routes just not great - for instance from NE to NW Philadelphia. It's a 30 minute car ride at most, but a 80-90 minute bus ride.
