Has anyone heard back from UC Irvine PhD in epidemiology?

I haven't heard from UCI yet, but for Disease Prevention track! It seems like students on track to being admitted will be invited to their prospective visit day, which has historically been this week! I'm sure UCI is running behind though, because it doesn't seem like they released any kind of decision for all 3 of the tracks! Wishing the best for both of us!

Does anyone who interviewed at Brown or JHU for the PhD programs know when we will be hearing back about acceptances/ rejections? Admissions had initially mentioned within the first two weeks of February, but wasn't sure if someone heard about decisions being pushed back?

Official rejection from Johns Hopkins on Wednesday (Health Policy PhD, Health and Public Policy track).

Official Acceptance from George Washington today (Health Policy PhD).

I knew the GW acceptance was coming as I have been in discussions with the GWU admissions team about funding for the past few days because I have partial external funding (GI Bill) available and they wanted to make sure their offer would cover the difference.

Someone posted that they received an unofficial email on their acceptance for Brown BSHS yesterday. Has anyone received official word? I was feeling really good about this one until now…

I was wondering about the same thing too.. it seems like they sent out interview requests a lot earlier in the past years?

Yep. I think Yale CDE has sent interview invites?

Thank you!! I was not interviewed, but it may be different for different tracks since EHS is technically in another department. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

I prepped for interviews by making sure I could answer questions like:

• Why a PhD?
• Why this program?
• What faculty I want to work with?
• Dissertation ideas?

And of course, be ready to talk about your background, and have some questions prepared that are about the program in general and about the faculty member's own research.

I also found it helpful to connect with current students prior to interviewing.

Good luck!

First time post from another long time lurker. Congrats! I've also got an interview with CUNY SPH coming up this week for Epi. It's my first interview and I'm also nervous. 

If you don't mind my asking, is your interview panel professors from the admissions committee or professors who would be your potential advisor?

It looks like the panel is from the admissions committee. Good luck on your interview!

Hi! I would also prepare to talk about you can provide for the school, (why should they invest in you) in addition to why you think you would be a great fit for the program

I received my first acceptance from Tufts ( Food and Nutrition Policy and Programs) last Friday ?

100% concur. Also keep in mind questions like “What are you looking for in a supervisor or what expectations do you have for your supervisor in terms of the support you envision they will offer you”?

Long time lurker, first time poster. Anyone heard from Hopkins SBS since interview? Or know when decisions are going to come out? My interviewer had told me we'd get an email from the DGC with funding package info a couple of weeks post-interview but didn't give me a good timeline of when that'd be.
