I missed the USF deadline, but emailed hoping for late consideration. Also applying to UNC and UIC. Don't know much about the latter. Re:GRE - did Hopkins waive this requirement for you? If so, would you mind sharing how? Hello! I am a UIC PhD student. If you have any questions, let me know. In terms of GRE, my scores are very low on quant and very high on analytical writing.

hopskipjump13 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 None for me. Hopkins doesn't really do them from what I understand and I emailed USF this morning for an estimate of a timeframe for interviews/decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to email them, but I'm sure I'd get a form response telling me to wait and linking me to their projected dates on their website.... le sigh.

There are pros/cons of all the programs I applied too, but I approached the programs by finding a mentor I wanted to work with, not necessarily the school, because I hear your mentor makes or breaks your doctoral program. So, where ever I do end up going, I know I will learn from some terrific people! UT is my top choice, followed my Colorado, and Washington! hopskipjump13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, looks like it's mainly PhD interviews, haven't seen much at all for DrPH so far. Seems like DrPH programs release decisions later than PhDs, in general, from my borderline-obsessive research and forum-checking sarcasmandcoffee7 and theonewiththePhDapp 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand Hopkins doesn't always do interviews, but if you're getting one you're at least being considered! Let us know how it goes.
