PhD / DrPh Fall 2022

[DrPH2022WI]

Good morning all, another week or waiting ahead. Was curious if anyone knows as this is my first real attempt for Doctoral programs. But one school sent me an email to check financial aid award information on their portal and shows among other things, scholarship award offers. Is that something everyone who applies would get shown or could that be a promising sign that I may be getting an offer to the program? Thanks for any insight!

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.

Hi there! Haven't heard from Hopkins SBS yet. Last year they conducted interviews about the same time and the results came out on February 19th. My guess is we'll probably hear later this week!

Hi! Does anyone have any information on the UC Berkeley Epi PhD program? Thanks!

Good luck, everyone!

I applied for Health Policy, but I asked the admissions office last week and it seems they're in the process of submitting their recommendations for admission to the Graduate School and said I could hear back anytime from now to mid-March.

May I ask if you did the interview with the admission?

Not with anyone in the admissions office but I did have a short interview as part of the process a few weeks back by now.

Received my first rejection of this cycle for the UCSF epidemiology of translational sciences program. They updated the application portal on Friday with the decision. As I haven't heard back from the other two programs I applied to yet (UW Implementation Science and GW global health) I am not feeling optimistic about this cycle. Oh well! Onwards and upwards. Good luck to you all!

thanks for sharing! Since I did not receive interview, I guess I should wait for rejection.

Hi! I have already declined interviews for the following programs (as I am well-settled with my one acceptance and have already confirmed that I will attend). I hope anyone of you will end up in one or more of them:

1. University of Rochester PhD in Health Services Research
2. University of Iowa PhD in Health Services and Policy
3. Virginia Commonwealth University PhD in Healthcare Research and Policy

I also received rejections from Brown University and the University of Minnesota.

Best of luck everyone!

Which track did you apply to? I interviewed for the econ track 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything despite them saying I'd hear within 1-2 weeks.

Population and Data Science - did my interview the week of January 31. I don't really know anymore beyond that tbh. You could try calling the Health Policy PhD contact number I guess? Idk I'm sort of prepared to just wait.

Has anyone heard anything back from Yale EMD? Assuming the silence means rejection? but havent seen many people talk about it on here?

[RMSK]

@Photo Light have you heard anything from UofT? 

[decolonizehealth]

Congrats, and best of luck on your interview!

Interested to hear if anyone else has heard anything from Drexel. I applied to their health services research program and this is the final program that I haven't heard back from. I haven't seen them mentioned much here.

Maybe call the admissions department and ask? When I called a couple weeks ago they were helpful.

I also applied to the UC Berkeley Epi PhD program and heard nothing so far. I checked the admissions from previous years on gradcafe and found out that they usualy sent out admissions in Mid Feburary and rejections in March. Fingers crossed for both of us???

Nothing! I’m starting to get nervous, have you emailed the department? 

[mindymar1985]

I just received a silent rejection for the DrPH at Harvard - I already have an unpaid Fellowship for the 2022-2023 year at HS Chan, so I was quietly confident. Must be a very competitive year!

[aca105]

Just got notified for my Berkeley acceptance.
