With 800+ applicants but less than 40 spots across all PHS fields of study. Admission letters should be sent out any day now. Good luck everyone! Thanks for the info. I see that you are a current PHS student. Were you interviewed as part of the process (i.e. prior to acceptance)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi just wanna know by any chance are those offered interviews automatically accepted? And if you are aware of the number of interviews being given out? Thanks Edited January 31, 2021 by scalpelw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go by me though! I am an unconventional candidate so am not really expecting an interview given the competitiveness this year. What makes you an unconventional candidate may make you a fantastic candidate so don’t convince yourself before you hear back. epi2be and Ajrw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was interviewed twice in early January by two separate faculty members. 2 hours ago, scalpelw said: Hi just wanna know by any chance are those offered interviews automatically accepted? And if you are aware of the number of interviews being given out? Thanks I'm not sure what's the number of interviews given out for this year. As for if people who get interviewed will be automatically accepted, speaking from my experience last year, I actually was waitlisted after being interviewed and was lucky enough to get off the waitlist.

I've not but it sounded like there was someone else in this thread with an interview with faculty for the HPM track in DrPH. I think health informatics?

Coffee All Day Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 On the results page, it looks like someone may have gotten an interview invite for the Columbia DrPH program. Any one hearing anything from that program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what other ppl's interviews were like but the interviewers in mine were dressed on the casual side of business casual fingazntoescrossd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviewers were very casual though. Something that I think may be important too is making sure your background is professional and visually appealing. Room rater is a good source for tips on camera angles, lighting, etc. CatMeow1234 and fingazntoescrossd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both cases the interviewers were just wearing sweaters. Don't think it matters too much for online interviews as long as you look professional.
