I reached out to admissions and apparently epi does interviews, I'm just not sure if they've sent them out yet? I haven't see any BU epi interviews on the results page so keeping my fingers crossed for one lol

Congratulations! Did you have it listed in your CV already as submitted or in press? If you get contacted for an interview, you can always mention it. It should also eventually pop up on your pubmed / google scholar profile!

Thanks! I didnt. It was an editorial that sort of came up after the deadline. I sent an email to the program admin. No harm will likely get the response below.

I asked Harvard about a similar question, adding a noteworthy result that came in after the deadline into my application. And this was their response, "We do not allow additions or edits to submitted applications. Applicants are advised to be sure to review the entire application to ensure it is complete and final, ..."

Buuuuut, I still think there is no harm in notifying them! Especially for ourselves- knowing that we tried our best! 

Thanks so much for the intel! I sent the program admin an email. I imagine I will get the same response. Did you apply for Health Policy? I havn't heard anything yet and starting to make me sad.... (oh well, such is life!)

Has anyone heard from Drexel? (I applied for the PhD in Community Health and Prevention). From previous years it seems like interviews went out around now… 

In case this is useful to anyone in the future: Drexel's Community Health and Prevention department apparently just convened this week and hasn't sent out PhD interview invites yet (seems that will happen sometime in the next 1-2 weeks).

Hi, does BU EH already sent out interview? anyone knows? fingers cross for us all !!

I applied to Environmental Health..! I also haven't heard anything from my applications but I hope we hear some good news soon

[PH2022FALL]

Anyone heard back from Harvard PHS - I think the results will be out anytime now. If you receive an offer, would you mind to send me a DM? Thanks so much!

Anyone know if Columbia epi PhD sends out interviews all on the same day? I saw that some people posted about interviews yesterday 

OK — apparently they don’t send them all on the same day because I just got the invite this afternoon. For everyone else waiting, don’t lose hope!

Thank you! Do you know if they out invitations all at once or a few at a time? Trying to deicide if I should hold onto hope

I'm sorry I have no idea how there admission process goes. But they told me that their epi program would be in a rapid development in the following years (e.g., a center called PETS and also the Master's degree). They have also recruited professor working on cancer epidemiology recently. In addition, they would accept more full time Ph.D. students than before (they mostly accepted part-time Ph.D. students in the past few years).

[HopefulPhDinEPI]

Hi all, is there anyone who applied to any of the following Epidemiology PhDs:

Umass Amherst

University at Albany

University of Rochester

George Mason 

If there is anyone, can you please tell if you have heard back from any of these programs?

Update - received interview day agenda from Brown HSR for Friday, 01/28/2022. And second interview with BU HSR is 02/11/2022. 

Expecting rejections from JHU HSR, Yale HSR, Harvard Health Policy, and UMN HSR.

JHU Health Econ (and my alma mater) is my top choice. Expecting a decision sometime next week.

Update: Received notification of recommendation for acceptance to GWU Health Economics and Policy PhD this morning.

[PH2022FALL]

Another week begins!! Still rooting for everybody here!!

Sorry for being so annoying - but has anyone had any idea of when Harvard PHS releases results? I think this year they release results later than the past trends. It looks like no one has heard from them either officially or unofficially.

I have received an email from my PoI two weeks back that we should hear something by mid February, so I think this is the week where we might hear something.

Nice to see others who applied to Rutgers DrPH.  Where did you hear that they may be sending out results within this timeline? (From the department or admissions?) I also mainly applied to mainly online DrPH programs but hoping for Rutgers, as I drive past it to and from work, when we aren't virtual. 

Best of luck to you! (Also, I have no idea how to use this platform, forgive me if I did it incorrectly).

I initially heard the DrPH admissions decisions timeline a few months ago during a virtual admissions info event. Then a few weeks ago I attended a virtual public health program info event where we could speak directly with admissions staff and that's when I asked if we were still on the same timeline as initially announced, and I was told it was looking like the first week of Feb and that we can reach out and as if we haven't heard by the end of the week. 

[DrPHPlans]

I emailed UNC for DrPH decisions details last week (I'm getting so antsy!). I was told they review apps in January, conduct interviews for selected students in Feb, then they try to have decisions made by end of March or early April.

Any other UNC DrPH candidates in here? That program and JHU are the ones that interest me the most, I think. Although Rutgers is intriguing for sure.

I also applied to UNC and JHU. I was just about to ask anyone if they knew of UNC's timeline. Late March/April seems so late! Someone else mentioned that JHU decisions also likely won't come until end of March. I interviewed with BU and Columbia, and they said decisions should be made by end of Feb/early March. And Georgia State interviews in a couple of weeks, but I think decisions will still be made late Fed/early March as well. Hopefully all programs give the students the same deadline to accept!

[DrPH Dan]

Emailed BU, GWU, JHU, Harvard, & Columbia (all DrPH) about whether all interview invites already went out, whether an interview is needed for admission, and timeline for hearing back. Here are the responses thus far:

GWU - Still reviewing apps. Next steps will be given in the next few weeks.

Columbia (SMS) - No interviews are given for doctoral apps. Initial decisions mid-part of February.

Will report back when I get more responses!

I'm definitely hoping we will all have the same timelines to accept! I'm expecting Rutgers this week, have no idea about UIC, and we both know JHU and UNC are SO late. Ugh. March - April? Hopefully we'd at least hear about interviews for UNC in the next week or so, as they said they're conducted in Feb and each candidate is given a range of dates/times from which to choose. It's nice to see another UNC applicant! Best of luck to you!
