Hello, I did a follow-up two weeks after my interview with one of the faculty who interviewed me and she said we would hear back this week. Best of luck! psychhopeful19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH_Hopeful_2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 University of Arizona folks, here’s the response I got back after inquiring about the Health Behavior Health Promotion PhD program: ”Thank you for your email. The admissions committee is currently reviewing all applications received in the first round, such as yours. Notices started going out as early as the first week of February and will continue all month through the month of March.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epi_researchjunkie Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! Some updates from me: Rejected: Harvard PHS Interviewed and pending response: BU Epi Offer of Admission: Brown HSR, JHU Epi, UNC Epi, University of Pittsburgh Epi I am still in shock that I have been admitted to 4 amazing programs! This is my second time applying. I didn't get into any schools last cycle. I say this to encourage y'all to not give up. I started my application very early this cycle, got a couple publications in, networked with POIs, and spent A LOT of time on my personal statement! Wish you all the best of luck.

IAAJ Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Just had my interview with the BU DrPH program today and I'm so pleased! The faculty seems to really love the program and I'm glad to know there are a number of supports in place for students. I must say, I feel good about having interviewed. I know everyone they interview will be a strong candidate, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to talk about why I'm a good fit for the program and why my particular lens is important in public health. We shall see what happens since* it's a numbers game at this point. But I feel good with how I performed in the interview. I was super excited after the interview, but I believe they said final admissions decisions will be made mid March. So I expect we will hear back in another month to month and a half.

Your enthusiasm made me smile! This process can be so stressful that we forget why we want to do this. But moments like what you described really relight the match. So glad it went well and hope you hear back soon! This thread is humming with good news and positivity today—glad to see it!

EJ_PhD Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just had my Columbia Epi Interview. It was rather chill and only with one Department of Epi Professor. Although it only lasted ~30 mins, we had great discussion and I was told that I confirmed my strengths so even if I felt I could have been more conversational, I guess it only helped my prospects. They didn't specify when they would notify of a decision but based on the mass email sent before, it looks like by March 1st is a good bet. Good luck to anyone else that had an interview with Columbia and I hope yours were equally as effective as mine! denify, HopeFaithandDrPH, IAAJ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind sharing the date you applied for this program? I’m wondering if the committee is interviewing candidates following some kind of order based on the dates people applied for the program. I saw on this forum that some people were interviewed early January. I even thought they were done interviewing. I was glad to see your message. Still some hope!

I applied at the December 1st deadline. (Tried to make sure I'm eligible for funding/priority deadline). I got the email asking to interview on January 11th and the only options available had been for February. I have no idea if they're doing the interviews in any type of chronological order based on when people applied. Hope that helps!

♀HealthMatters Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 When we're all DrPH/PhDs, do you want to: (A) Stay in the academy (B) Government/NGO/Nonprofit (C) Industry (D) Other (Inspire us by sharing!) Add where are you now, too! I'll go first ?
