I have also applied for UW Epi, but I have heard that there won't be any interviews usually. Its direct reject or acceptance.

I have UW Epi and Boston Epi as well. I reached out to the program coordinator at UW and he said they would be sending out decisions sometime this week. It’s already Thursday so any moment from now! Remain hopeful!

Yes, it was one of the POI I referenced in my application, and he gave me a couple of times he was free to meet and the only one that worked for me was about an hour after the initial email haha

Hello, do you know if this is the same timeline for PhD as well?

It is not the same for PhD. I attended the ASPPH fair yesterday and asked about timelines. Unfortunately for us DrPH folks, JHU said mid to LATE March. Argh! And for PhD, they said it'll all vary by department. Good luck!

Have you heard/know anything about their DrPH acceptance rates (esp for the online/distance programs)? I've been trying to find it online but haven't had any success. Good luck to you!!
