congrats and wow!! october! I interviewed a few days after christmas, so hoping to hear back something soon!

Thank you!  I actually had emailed the PI to see if she was planning on mentoring grad students, and she asked to a set up a time to chat (so more informal).

I hope you hear something soon!

Based on last year’s forum, it looks like first round of interview requests for Harvard and Boston University DrPH programs went out this week last year. 
 

I applied to JHU, UNC, George State University, Harvard, Columbia, UIC, Indiana, and Boston University DrPH. I haven’t heard back yet.

Hi everyone!

The two schools that I am waiting to hear back from are Brown (PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences) and Hopkins (PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences in the HBS Department). Has anyone heard back from these yet? 

Good luck all

Hiii! I also applied to both of those programs! Haven't heard anything yet. Let me know if you do! 

Is it cool to know what your research background and experience is in? ?

Hi everyone, I applied in the 2021 cycle and I'm currently in the NYU DrPH program. If anyone has questions, I'm happy to be a resource. Thanks! 

What was the interview process like? What type of questions did they ask? What type of questions did you get to ask? Also, what is your funding situation like? Thanks so much!

I applied EHS. Anyone has any news/past experience regarding interview invites for Harvard PHS program?

I also applied to EHS but haven't heard any back. May I ask which other schools you applied to?

[ScholarlyBaddie]

Has anyone else received an admission offer email to UT Health School of Public Health for the DrPH program?!

Anyone heard anything from Johns Hopkins PhD in International Health (Social & Behavioral Interventions) ?

I interviewed with NYU DrPH in early March. I met with the DrPH Program Director and one other faculty. In addition to standard interview questions (why this degree, why this school, etc.) they asked "what do you think is the most pressing public health issue of our time". I was able to ask them what values they look for in students. It was a very smooth interview, and we went beyond the 45 min allotted time. I received an offer 10 days later.

I receive financial support through my employer. Additionally, the NYU program provides a small stipend for incoming students.

Happy to answer any other questions!

[DrPH Hopeful 2022]

I just received an interview request for Boston University's DrPH program. Based on their automated scheduling link it looks like there are interview slots open through February 11th. Not sure if that is just for first rounds (or if there even are second rounds). 

Anyone from last year's cycle checking this forum that had an interview with BU? Any tips on the interview process? What types of questions did they ask? And how soon after the interview did you hear back? 

Best of luck to everyone. Keeping my fingers crossed for more interviews and at least one acceptance! 

[publichealthPhD]

I just got invited to interview for BU's DrPH program as well

[al23224]

Congrats on the ones who got an interview for BU's DrPH!

Any news on the HSR PhD program at BU?

Congratulations!!!

Received an email today to talk from POI at UNC Health Policy and Management. I am an international student and my research interests might or might not fit with the program, so this could be for clarifications etc. (especially given the challenging funding situation for international students?)

I don't know if interview is a required component. Based on my understanding UNC tends to have a long stream of admissions etc.and different departments run differently. Last year I knew someone who didn't get interviews that get in UNC epi in March.

Hi there! I've worked mostly in HIV and sexual health research. I didn't have any publications until around April 2021, and when I submitted my apps I had 4 publications. 

[as410tro]

The thread seems so quiet this year..!?

I see that some received an invite to an interview for Harvard PHS- EH track, Congratulations! I wonder which specialisations received emails so far, and if I should consider myself rejected if I haven't heard anything back until now? Can anyone kindly share some information in case of an invite? i.e., if it was from a PI or the department, international/domestic, which other schools applied to etc. I asked how the interview process goes, but haven't heard anything back from the office.

I applied to Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Yale, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Stanford. All EH or Epi.
