SpeakItInto Existence Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Hey everyone, I am a prospective graduate student for the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley ( Cal ). I am still waiting for an acceptance letter. I'm Speaking Acceptance Into Existence (i.e my user name ) Have you been accepted, rejected, still waiting? Any news on when your department will release decision letters? Lets Discuss! <3
ghint Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Hello! I have applied to Health Policy-Population sciences. Haven't heard back from them yet. I did write to the POI last week but no response Which course are you waiting for the acceptances from?

I'm waiting for admissions into the Health and Social Behavior option. I heard we would find out mid february, early march. What is POI?
Noodlette Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I haven't heard anything yet either. I applied to the Maternal & Child Health Program. I was also told mid-February to early March, via the email sent out from Admissions when they verified my application. A friend applied to UCSF MEPN program, and heard yesterday she didn't get in :-( Good luck, everyone!
NotSoPatientlyWaiting2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I got into Berkeley's DrPH program today! Now I am wondering about funding...anyone else heard back today? SpeakItInto Existence and DRPH Hopeful, MSW 2

NotSoPatientlyWaiting2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I received an email yesterday. However, my status in the portal or on SOPHAS hasn’t changed.

I heard the admissions committee connects you with fellowships based off of your personal statement and statement of purpose. I wonder when admitted students receive an award letter.

Thank you! And wow, that would be awesome. I’m still waiting to hear back from other schools but I’m still in a daze as I didn’t expect to get into Berkeley. Which program are you waiting to hear back from?

I applied to the MPH Health and Social Behavior program. They said we would be notified by email but I'm wondering if we'll get a letter in the mail as well. That would be super awesome! I saw the undergraduate acceptance letter on twitter and I loved it! what other schools did you apply to?

Interestingly the program you're applying to is the same program I was drawn to back when I was pursuing my MPH. I couldn't get my application together in time, though. I guess this is my redemption or something?? I got my official letter of acceptance by email last night and another letter regarding funding (if eligible) will arrive later. I live in NYC so I mainly applied to doctorate programs around here, so I definitely have a tough choice to make. I honestly did not think I would get into Berkeley. I hope you receive good news soon!!! Edited February 23, 2018 by nma2018
Oski Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I've been a long-time lurker but finally decided to finally create an account!! I was recommended for admission to Berkeley Epi and Biostats about a week ago...I also wonder if we'll be receiving anything in the mail? That would be super cool!

So what happens next? Does the Epidemiology & BioStatistics program automatically accept you? Or are there additional steps?

For me last year, there were 10 days in between getting the departmental recommendation and the official acceptance from Berkeley. Nothing official came in the mail, but I did get an email and phone call.
DRPH Hopeful, MSW Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Hi, Does anyone know if Berkeley interviewed DrPH candidates this year? Thanks!
