got into JHU epi PhD from waitlist. It's hard to decide, since the mentor in USC is really impressive. Would that be too much to reject JHU because my view of the mentor?

Congrats! Do you have any tips or advice to offer as one of my top choices waitlisted me, and I also have no other offers at this point. So crossing my fingers that things pan out 😅

Congrats on getting the epi phd offer from JHU! Mind sharing when did you received the offer from USC? I haven't heard back since 2/13 and starting to get a little anxious if it's a rejection😅

Sorry to hear that, actually I did not do anything, just waiting. But I think it won't harm to reach out to the program and specify  your interest.

I think the official admission is delivered this week. But different labs and tracks would have different timeline.

anyone receive an admission decision from CUNY SPH? i applied to their community health phd. they are the last ones i am waiting on, been a looooong application cycle.

Is anyone still waiting on JHU International Health PhD? I applied to the health systems track and was interviewed in early Feb. I thought the interviews went great , we had so much to talk about and went over time. I haven’t heard anything from them ever since. Should I assume a rejection? I’m starting to lose hope. I reached out to my interviewer and nothing.

 I rejected JHU's offer. The stipend is not great and the environment is very stressful here. Do what is best for you and go where you will be happy! JHU is a soft money school so mentorship is NOT great.

Has anyone heard back about the Bloomberg fellowship or know when news are released?

Not a DrPH applicant to GW, but as an admit from another program to the school, there were a few DrPH admitted students on the webpage for admitted students

I emailed them on Monday and asked them if they knew a better timeline. They did say they are trying to have decisions by beginning of April

I had reached out to them when I posted on here and I just got a response (I had originally gotten an out of office message) saying "the DrPH program is still reviewing applications and hoping to have all decisions out this month."

Oh boy... just going to sit here constantly refreshing my email some more.

 I am also waitlisted on BUSPH's PhD program. The email says the final final decision will go out at the latest on April 30. So torture!

Has anyone in this thread gotten an offer from HSIP at Northwestern?

[Atila]

NYU or GWU

I got admission offer for DrPH program from GWU (scholarship waiting list) and NYU (50% scholarship). Which one should I go? Any advice?

do you have to accept by 4/15 or can you wait until GWU tells you if you get the scholarship?

I just declined the GWU last week, hopefully the funding would be yours (we may not at exactly the same program though, hooooope you can get it soon!). But the information I can share is that the funding for phd in GWU is 20k and if working as TA we can get another 10k. Hope this data would help you decide.

Thanks for info. I am admitted to different program so probably less hope. However lets see and best wishes for you too.

I have received several phd offers and have friends in many top public health schools so maybe I can provide some information. You can DM me if you need any advice.

For those who were waitlisted for JHU DrPH, have you heard back? I’m still waiting on a response and there’s no activity online.

I just heard back yesterday and I got off the waitlist!  I already accepted Tulane, but I am really torn and weighing both options. I have to decide by tomorrow.

I hears back on Tuesday and was accepted to DrPH Global Health at JHU. Does anyone know how many credits we have to do for summer institute and when? They also haven't sent any info regarding orientation yet either!
