The three application/three fee process is WILD--honestly, I didn't realize the third one until recently and if I had earlier on (and hadn't already had recommenders submit letters to UCSD [again, why should they have to submit twice??]) then I probably wouldn't apply due to THREE fees.

However, if you're inclined towards a particular a school/city/state then it is whole lot different argument.

GoingGlobal Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 After going through and double checking, I have decided to drop South Florida's application. I couldn't find any faculty to answer my questions and was seriously having issues finding a faculty match because of this. I am unsure if they update their website routinely as well. I am only applying to SDSU/UCSD for the November 15 deadline and the other schools on my list by December 1. Global Ambassador 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten into a few programs, but decided to hold out and go all in on my dream program. Anyone else applying to Brown U? Hi! I am applying to Brown's PhD in Social and Behavioral Science. I looked at faculty accepting students for next year and the faculty I want to work with isn't listed which made me really sad. I have a meeting next week with the Brown faculty I potentially want to work with. Anyways, I am shooting my shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingGlobal Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Submitting Miami, Tulane, Emory, Hopkins, and Harvard this week. That's basically it for me. Next up are pre-doc and global health fellowship apps. I wish everyone luck in this cycle! It seems that a lot of people want to get into public health because of the pandemic now. I am awaiting my Fulbright decisions which come out in January. I am so anxious but ready for my semester to be done. The waiting game begins literally like next week!

I've also seen in previous years' threads that some people had phone/Skype calls with their POI. Looks like this usually happens mid to end of Jan for most schools.

My friend got approached by POIs at two schools and had an interview with them yesterday. It looks like faculty has started the review process but perhaps the majority of us won't hear back from them until Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this really surprised me because faculty already started looking for potential candidates for interviews even though the deadlines are not met. I'm just so sensitive to emails and updates from grad cafe nowadays. The waiting game is exciting yet nervous. FuturePhDPls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
