According to last year, it seems like people heard back from Harvard around Jan 9-10. Looks like a bunch of interview have gone out - it was a reach so i doubt I would even be considered without an interview. anyone hear back from the Pharmacoepidemiology track ? unc does phone and Skype interviews I think for the person who asked Edited January 12, 2019 by Epistudent19
worldpeace Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Has anyone heard back from Harvard's PHS in global health and population? or Brown's Epi? or Hopkins' epi?

Hey, I've been looking out for news on Harvard's PHS in global health and population. I figured all of the PHS departments will send out mails together. But that doesn't appear to be the case unless I haven't heard anything because I've been rejected. So, no clue.

If you can go straight to the PhD without it, more power to you! Wishing you luck, and fingers crossed Thanks!! Do you think you could have learned the skills from your masters elsewhere? I did apply to masters and I'm excited to do one when I don't think of the debt.

Ah gotcha..that sounds like a very select few.
Elena Xu Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Nutrition is a relatively small area in public health, but it is a very important and useful one! Tell us your experiences of applying for nutrition-related concentrations in schools of public health!

I did apply to masters and I'm excited to do one when I don't think of the debt. Ah gotcha..that sounds like a very select few. I think a lot of PhD programs actually cover the same coursework people take during a masters- so in that sense, going straight to PhD means you wouldn't be missing out on whatever masters students learn. As for learning the masters skills elsewhere (research job, fellowship, etc) - I think you could learn some, but not all. I think my masters gave me broad background in public health/epi/biostats. I've used/sharpened some of those skills at work, but don't think working would give me the same breadth of knowledge that the masters did. One consideration if you do wind up with debt from a masters and then do a PhD is the NIH loan repayment program: https://www.lrp.nih.gov/ It provides 35k/year for 2 years directly towards your student loans (given that you meet certain criteria)- I absolutely plan to apply for it post-PhD! welp and apex45 1 1

Really helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm definitely bookmarking the NIH loan repayment program.
notgonnabeawalrus Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Has anyone heard from Columbia, Rutgers or Yale for a PhD in epidemiology?
theonewiththePhDapp Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Or UCLA, UCI, SDSU-UCSD, UT Health - Austin?

Epidemiology19 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Anyone have insight (size, meetings, general mood, etc) on interview/visit days for Michigan and Emory? Especially Emory, since the schedule was more vague.
MK42 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I just got my first rejection email from Emory University. This is for their Epidemiology program. Waiting to hear from Hopkins, UW, and UNC. Edited January 15, 2019 by MK42
epi_2018 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I'm in the same boat as you. Fingers crossed for some good news in the next couple weeks!

princeton312 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Has anyone heard of Brown's Health Services Research track? I noticed applicants in other tracks had received emails regarding interview. Trying to decide if it's time to cut my losses.
PhDSter2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Has anyone heard from Drexel regarding interviews?

I applied for the same program and did not receive emails for an interview either. Based on the statistics last few years, I assume they have sent out all emails last week.
HSRPhD_2020 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Did anyone apply to any of the tracks within Northwestern's Health Sciences Integrated PhD program and receive any information about interviews yet?

Nope, because I had no idea that program existed. Just looked at their website now-- looks fantastic. If I don't get in anywhere this year, I might send an application next year. Good luck!
