It's my first invite so I'm equally excited and nervous! I applied to BSHS, but the invite said that the doctoral programs at Brown are hosting a "joint recruitment day". They asked for an RSVP by the 19th, so my guess is invites will be coming out over the next few days. brightbluebirds and publichealthPhD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PublicHealth25 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I applied to the University of Maryland, College Park (Behavioral and Community Health), University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (Health Services Research, Policy, and Administration), Medical College of Wisconsin (PhD Public and Community Health), and George Mason University (Public Health). I was interviewed on the 4th of January by Uni of Maryland, and they told me they have 7 more students to interview. Only 5 students will be guaranteed funding. The interview was "too" chill that I feel it went poorly. Did anyone hear from other universities that I may have applied? Best of luck to all the people who are applying. I know the waiting part is so nerve-wrecking. I hope we all get into at least one program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rka Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 One more question please. If we write names of POIs in our SOP, is it mandatory for our application to go to those POIs. Asking because, I talked to a faculty amd she told me that she reviewed many applications, but not mine. I did write her name in SOP. Does it mean my application didn't go past initial review?

I am wondering if I did something wrong in my application and I am starting to worry with everyone getting interview requests! Happy to answer! I had a 3.72 MPH GPA and I did not submit GRE scores. I have 5.5 years of public health experience. I spoke to four professors at Emory and four professors at UCSF. I'm interested in the intersection of SRH and humanitarian emergencies. I have three publications, two of which are first author. Edited January 14, 2021 by blakepancake alvinyeeww 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still lots of time until things are "finalized" in April, plus until you get a "no" in writing you're still in consideration. Hmm I was too stressed to count the number of participants during the call LOL but I'd guess there were 1-2 faculty representing each of the 5 core interests. Funding was the question no one knew how to answer, since grants likely aren't approved until later in the spring. Hopefully they determine funding quickly, I hate the waiting! If your comfortable, did you find a professor/research you felt drawn to (initials of professor)? It looks like there are a lot of active grants for research!

PublicHealth25 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 @RkaI only emailed the professors but never attempted to call or set a meeting with them. Based on previous postings on Gradcafe, there were students with Bachelor's who got admitted for the Uni of Minnesota. It is a top program, but it seems like the admittance rate is not as difficult as others. However, with this pandemic, it might be more competitive.

ChiccaChica Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I got my first correspondence today...and it was a rejection from the Global Health and Development program at Emory. I’m not super bummed about the school and program itself, because it wasn’t my first choice in terms of research or location. However, the rejection stings, especially since it’s been the only feedback I’ve gotten so far. Here’s to hoping for good news going forward, I guess!

The silence and waiting is tough and it seems like any news would be better than nothing but then it’s definitely a disappointment when it’s not when you hoped for.
