DrPH On Hold Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Reality check: Have you had an interview, either F2F or Skype, with you school of choice? if not, and you haven't heard yet if you have been accepted, please ease your anxiety and concentrate on how to position yourself best for your DrPH 2020 application.

As has been discussed here repeatedly before, Bloomberg doesn't interview everyone who gets an acceptance.

I have no idea if Columbia does interviews unfortunately. What department did you apply to? Based on last year, it seems we should know in the next week to 10 days. I've already kind of mentally decided to try again in next year's application cycle and to be more strategic about things. Unless an absolute miracle happens and I get off the Hopkins (PhD) waitlist with funding. But no regrets, this application cycle has been a major learning experience and really I should have made time to scour these forums BEFORE applying rather than last minute-ing everything around my work schedule. Hi, I've been lurking around the PhD forum and thought I'd check here for some insight. Could I ask which program you've been waitlisted for at Hopkins? And if there is any chance you think anybody would actually reject Hopkins and list moves up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopofthemuffinTOYOU Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Happy Monday everyone. Musings for today: Why can’t daylight savings happen on Friday overnight? I need another day to adjust.

I applied for the PhD program in Health, Behaviour and Society a.k.a. Social and Behavioural Sciences. I sincerely doubt that enough people are going to reject Hopkins in my department that the list will move up. I mean it's not impossible, miracles do happen, and they've never promised great funding which can be a barrier to admitted students who would otherwise want to accept, but I'm not hingeing my hopes and giving myself sleepless nights waiting to get off the waitlist. I'm already thinking about the Fall 2020 application cycle. Are you also waitlisted? What department/program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely will give more time towards the application process. I thought a month and a half would be enough: definitely not the case with a full-time job. At least we know that Hopkins decisions will come out soon. Applied to Columbia Sociomedical Sciences DrPH as well. Definitely will give more time next time to the non-admin stuff like perfecting my personal statement et al so it's not all a rush doing it on December 1. The struggle to do it with a full-time job that eats into nights and weekends, is definitely real! Rose petals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brittany18 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Also, I didn't advertise this before but FWIW, I applied to Hopkins last year and was rejected, and then had success all around this year. So fine tuning your application and getting more pointed experience apparently really does make a difference!
