She also said sometime in February ?…I am so nervous. I'm curious what they told you guys about seats? I was told they have 8 spots in the department and they're interviewing like 3-4 people per spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anxiousphdapplicant Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Is anyone else REALLY struggling to stay calm/positive during this process?

shinybean Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Some schools seem to have already sent interviews or rejection emails to some students, but I haven't heard from them.Is no news good news? Or should I send an email to the school admissions office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myyday Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Got admitted to my dream program at GW!!! Like I said before, they only accept 1-2 applicants each year, so I'm still not gonna say which program, but like I said it's not Epi nor SBS. Considering that these programs usually accept more than 2 students, I guess that was a given, anyways. I've seen a few people in this forum that applied to SBS or Epi at GW, so for those people, if GW is your top choice school, hope I get to see you all in DC!!

GribblePibbles Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 So the one program I’ve interviewed for told me to expect a decision this week and it’s impossible to get anything done at work. I also just remembered that I got my MPH acceptance on Valentine’s Day 2019, so today might be the day… spiralingepi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was starting to get nervous not hearing back. I've had radio silence so far from everywhere else I applied. Here's the full list... Harvard - Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS/PHS) - Rejected 2/7 Hopkins - Social & Psychological Influences on Health (SBS) OHSU/PSU - Community Health UCLA - Community Health UMN - Health Services Research UNC - Health Behavior - Interview 2/8 UW - Health Services - Interview 1/30, waitlisted 2/13 Good luck everyone!! Updating the thread - I got waitlisted at UW. I got the feeling that would be the outcome after the interview, it wasn't my strongest and it was *so* rushed (I had 7 minutes to answer 3 questions - why UW, why now, and describe a challenge and how you overcame that) that I wasn't able to elaborate on what I thought was my relevance to the program. Holding out for UNC, but the program seems to be focusing on smaller cohorts and has less funding this year (and maybe in the future?) so I'm also not optimistic about my chances. I've also been applying to some European PhD positions...I'm thinking in the long run, that will be a better fit for me anyway. I've found some projects that really speak to me topic-wise and methodologically, with the possibility to do entirely qualitative dissertation research! No American program that I spoke to has been receptive to that. I haven't heard anything back from the other programs I applied to. Time to start looking for a job!

But I do remembered one of your professors introduced the SBS track and seemed pretty optimistic of recruitement, maybe just your track has another admission route?
