Sorry to hear… maybe you’ll hear from the with good news soon, otherwise. Seems like you have some great options, though! When did you hear from them? And how?

[manifesthb]

It’s all good! I’ll likely commit to Hopkins  I try not to complain. 

Heard from them this morning via email from the epi chair.

DrPH - very competitive & not generous

phD - so so but better than DrPH I think

i got acceptance to DrPH program without funding. One of the professors I talked mentioned once that they expect DrPH candidates as working professionals and able to support the study themselves. 🥲

I'm sorry about the rejections! But I heard GWU normally sends out funding information a few weeks after admission, so don't lose hope yet!

UC Irvine just released acceptances for Public Health PhD! 

[PublicHealthSLP]

Has anyone received DrPH acceptances from BU? It seems like there was at least 1 on the results page.

I'm also being scored this week for a job role that would significantly bump up by income by about $15k a year. I'll be on the hiring list, but that score will determine whether it's likely I'll be interviewed. They only interview the top two at a time. 

All my nails are chewed off as I wait! 😆

Much anxiety. Yes I believe you're correct, but it certainly doesn't stop me from checking it daily lol.
