They said they are aiming for first round interviews to be completed by January 18th. Congratulations! I recently received an interview invitation from them as well. Fingers crossed we both get in. Good luck to everyone waiting for responses! Coffee All Day and MCH_Hopeful_2021 2
EJ_PhD Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Long time lurker but finally made an account here! The waiting game has truly been something else so a little anxious during the extended winter break. For those asking about applying to a "second batch" of schools, there are many on SOPHAS/school specific grad pages that have rolling application cycles or deadlines in Feb but the funding packages might not be as competitive (i.e. University of Maryland, Ohio State, etc). This might differ by department but I'm going based on Epi, Biostat, and Environmental Health programs cause that's were my interests align. Good luck to everyone and grateful to have found a supportive community! IAAJ 1

GHAddict Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, just a question. Should I submit my Fall (final year) MPH grades to my PhD applications? It's a 3.7 GPA from a top 10 public health University. Thanks Edited January 7, 2021 by GHAddict

I did! UNC's doctoral event was this week, and the committee chair said that they'll be making decisions over the next few weeks so... at best we'll hear about decisions in late January? The program coordinator did clarify that all offers will be made with funding attached. Edited January 8, 2021 by teabunny

srp10215 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Just received an invitation to interview for BU's HSR program! Echoing @epi2be above and would love any pointers.

Was the doctoral event just for prospective Nutrition students or all applicants?

dr_megaevil Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Just out of curiosity, I logged into myUSF and checked my application status. It says: "Your application has been referred to the college and program for a decision. Decision times may vary from program to program, please allow 3 to 4 weeks prior to contacting the program"... Does it mean anything or nothing...? 3 to 4 weeks from when?? I'm scared :s
