PhD/DrPH Applicants: Fall 2021


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! 

I'm happy I stumbled across this forum! I'm currently a grad student at a top 5 institution and have a background in clinical research. I've applied to about 7 PhD programs (scattered throughout the country), and am getting a bit anxious waiting for the results. 

 

If someone is interviewed how likely are they to get admitted? Can a phone interview a formal interview?

@bstat95 Did you have any pre-interviews with faculty members? Is your interview via zoom? I applied too and am a bit nervous..... the waiting game is hard ?

No, this is the first time I've ever heard back from applications. The email is from a faculty member asking to conduct an interview via zoom. Did you also receive an interview?
I totally understand... I've been feeling super anxious the past week :(

I received an interview invite from Harvard Population Health Sciences (Epidemiology) PhD today. Has anyone already gone through the interview? It's my first one so feeling a bit anxious about it!

I applied too, but haven't heard back. Would you mind telling me whether your application status still says "Submitted" in GSAS? Or has it changed to another status such as "Under Review"? I am anxiously overanalyzing.... :)

It says "Submitted". I believe they're just beginning to send out interviews so don't worry too much!

Please report back if you do! They are killing me lol. 

I asked Kamala about interviews (if applicants should be expecting interviews and if interviews would mean a good chance for acceptance) and when the decisions would be announced.

She didn't answer anything about the interviews and said the decisions should be available mid-March. 

Her reply is not helping with my anxiety whatsoever... lol

Congrats on your interview! May I ask when did you receive the interview invite? Do you know if Hopkins have already sent out all the invites to Nutrition applicants? Thanks!!
