ASA15 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Last year’s thread had a really handy stipend list for a lot of public health PhD programs before it disappeared... did anyone happen to save it? Or does anyone want to contribute to a new one? I found that really really useful when applying because some of the info (esp for specific programs) is hard to find. I can contribute two- BU Epi is $36,000 over 12 months, + tuition + all fees and free health insurance. 4 years guaranteed, no TA required. Yale EMD is $38,050 over 12 months + tuition + fees and health insurance. 5 years. 2 terms TA required.

Just got a rejection from Yale SBS PhD program. This is my third rejection (also Harvard and Brown). I was waitlisted at Johns Hopkins but I am not super hopeful (I doubt many people turn down JHU). I took that one pretty hard because my interview went fantastic and I really felt that this program was a perfect fit (plus I was notified on my birthday - boo). I am waiting on two more but it is looking like this year isn't my year. Any thoughts on the likelihood of getting off a PhD waitlist? Which track are you waitlisted at for Hopkins?

Anyone knows how does their funding process work? I also just got an offer yesterday! Congrats!! I have no idea... I was under the impression from my previous convos with profs that it's supposed to be tuition + stipend of $17500 excuding RA/TAships but am not clear whether it's guaranteed or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpiPhD7 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 16 hours ago, ASA15 said: Officially in at Yale EMD! My dream program, and I’m so excited! This is my second time applying to PhD programs. The first time (2 years ago) I applied to like 11 schools... was accepted to a few, but none of my first choices, and none with great funding (UW was a love of mine, but couldn’t deal with their funding situation). I chose to get 2 years of additional experience in order to really clarify my interests and goals, and applied to only 4 schools this time (something I was really regretting like a month ago) but ones with better fit matches. Was accepted to 2/4, including my first choice! So for anyone who didn’t get into the program they wanted this year... don’t lose hope! Everything happens as it’s meant to! Also will be declining by spot at BU Epi... so hopefully it goes to the person who asked about BU waitlist here last week That was me, we will see . I live in the New Haven area so let me know if you have any questions about housing! Some of the landlords are terrible. I would highly recommend staying away from anything owned by Mandy Management.

Harvard PHS GHP, Brown HSR, Yale SBS, Hopkins PFRH There were many other programs I considered applying to this year, but other factors (like geographic proximity to family during pandemic, not being 100% ready to leave my job, strong fit, and funding) kept my list small and ambitious. I'm feeling more ready to take on this step and the pandemic should look different after more people have vaccines, so I'm going to expand my list for next year.
