PhD/DrPH Applicants: Fall 2021

[HP_2021]

In case anyone was waiting to hear from Tulane, I was told the first round of PhD decisions should come out the first or second week of February. And there may be a second round mid-Feb (although was a little unclear)

Is this for all programs?

I am not sure, this was in context of the health policy and management program. Sorry should have specified.

https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ this is where I saw about Drexel. Please do share the info after meeting with faculty member.

Candidate pool has been reviewed and students have been selected and have either heard from Drexel, or should hear back with a decision shortly. This is for HMP, not sure about other departments.

Has anyone heard back from NYU PhD Biomedical Sciences in Data, Medicine, and Health track, BU PhD in Epidemiology, or Yale PhD Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases? 

Also waiting on BU Epidemiology. I haven't heard anything or seen updates from anyone else.

Hi, I applied to NYU Population Health and was interviewed on Jan 15th. My feeling is that all people with a quantitative focus were interviewed during that week, but I am not 100% sure. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!! Hope you get good news from NYU and other programs!

Has anyone heard back from UCLA's PhD in Community Health Sciences program? Thanks!

I'm so sorry about the news, mj123  Definitely onward and upward. Hope your other apps are making more favorable progress! 

I also applied to Health Policy and Clinical Practice and I'm terrified to hear back. I hate this waiting, but for reason, I'm also scared to hear back at all, either about interviews or rejections. I don't know if anyone else can relate lol

Anyway, good luck to all of us!

On the same boat as y'all. I applied to 4. Got 1 rejection, and the other 3 are radio silent. I'll just keep manifesting that I get an acceptance or a last-minute interview invite lol ?

I haven't heard anything since I received a rej on Jan 12... My friend (1st-year PhD) keeps asking me whether there is any updates from my applications... ? He gave me lots of help during my application so I know he is just caring about me.. But it really adds extra pressure on me ?

Just got my interview schedule from JHU (PFRH) and...I'm shook ya'll. I can just tell that it's going to be intense!

Anyone received the generic timeline update from JHU EPI yesterday (Jan 21) but not yet receive interview invitation? ?  I started to wonder if they are choosing interview candidates from the pool of applicants who got the update email... I saw some updates here about interview invitations soon after the status update...  anyways congrats to those who got the interview! 

Hi! I received this email last week too and still have not heard anything since  Any updates on your end?

[♀HealthMatters]

I received an interview invite yesterday at Maryland for MCH. I haven't heard anything else. No matter what there's always next year when we'll be even better candidates!

Yeah, I interviewed with them last Friday.

Hey guys! Thanks for sharing all your updates. I interviewed with Johns Hopkins IH folks last week and received an interview request from Dartmouth today. No updates from Harvard PHS (Global health), UNC, Stanford, Columbia and Berkeley. I emailed Harvard admissions as well as the global health dept and they were vague in their responses - same as what someone posted earlier. They said that interviews are not necessary and only conducted if they need more information than what was in the application. Has anyone else applied to Harvard PHS - global health track and been invited to interview? Fingers crossed!

[scalpelw]

Hi guys I applied for Harvard PHS env epi track and attended their interviews in early Jan. Anyone knows how many are offered interviews, number of applicants, and acceptance % for PHS? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Did you get a sense of whether they interview all candidates or any information about the process?

Hi, did you apply to the env epi track in the EPI department or EH department? The numbers & review process varied a lot within the two departments...

Hi! I applied to the EH department, specializing in env epi!

Yeah, I applied to EH and heard that number of applicants were similar to past years ~90. There is another post here perhaps you could refer to regarding numbers each department admitted for PHS

Thank you! I’m just curious about their % acceptance for those offered an interview!
