I got an application referral to a master program in JHU SBS. I am not sure it is worth to taking a second master's degree. I am also not sure whether I can afford the tuition fee as it is expensive for me. Would anyone mind giving me some suggestions? Thank you!

Well I think if your final goal is academic and you need a PhD degree anyway, maybe getting another MPH/MS is not as helpful as working as an RA this year and applying for PhD program next cycle. Especially if the tuition fee could be a burden, working as an RA can get some salary and also make you concentrate on research and publications.

But also don't give up this early! As long as it's not 4.15, all waitlists and no responses still have a great chance!

What are the chances we will have DrPH decisions from Hopkins next week? I'm torturing myself trying to figure out if the first week of March is next week or the following. I saw lots of decisions on March 2nd last year, hopefully it will be the same this year!! 

I think (hope?) pretty likely! I have a friend who was accepted last year and the email came on March 1, I believe. Hopefully by end of the week at least!

I got an admission offer from GWU but still anxiously waiting for news on scholarship. Any tips?

Congrats!! My program told me on Feb 13th that funding decisions are still pending and the admissions team will be contacting in about two weeks, so I'm gonna wait till the end of this week and contact them if necessary.

Anyone know if Hopkins will release their DrPH decisions tomorrow (March 1)? It seems that was the date last year.. not sure if anyone emailed directly to see when they’d post decisions.. 

 

getting so nervous here and it would be nice just to know which way my life is heading…

Hello, did you ever get funding info from UTHealth?

Hey, I got into UTHealth! From my knowledge, no one heard back about funding. A student with funding had identified a specific professor/advisor and is working as a GRA on one of their projects.

Same! I'm pretty sure I didn't get in, but I just want to know for sure so I can move on.

Congratulations! I just checked my portal and it said "application under review." I applied for DrPH Health Equity and Social Justice.

Congratulations as well!! :) I'm on the waitlist. Disappointed, but not losing hope.
