I’m sorry to hear that things didn’t turn out the way you hoped this application season. You have been very kind in your interactions and well wishes for the group over these past weeks. You will continue to make an impact in the work you do! Keep bringing your special qualities to the table!

aDrPH Posted March 8 Posted March 8 3 hours ago, ggpublichealth said: May I ask what your background is? Masters or no masters? Work experience? Etc. My background is primarily focused in health equity with progressive leadership roles in the public and private sectors. I did my undergrad and masters in public health at top 10 schools. I have research experience and publications. However, I feel like everyone on this forum is equally or more successful in their own ways. What I think helped me was really spending time writing and rewriting my statement of purposes to show how my personal experiences aligned with the schools to which I was applying. I referenced problems that I saw in the world and how I tried to address/investigate them through my work and future aspirations. So most of my paragraphs had the backbone of problem identification -> process to address problem -> outcome and impact. I was not surprised that I was rejected from Hopkins because I only spent 1.5 days on the application and was rushed to get it done due to my work schedule at the time. I didn’t give myself time to go through the iterative process, and it was by far the weakest application that I submitted. I had more time to work on the other schools’ application. So if there’s any advice that I can give to future applicants is really give yourself enough time to go through the writing process. I hope this helps! mandycandy 1

I thought I replied to this already but maybe didn’t go through. It’s Emory! I don’t know how other schools do it, but I was told my department waitlists 1-2 people per year. So if you’re willing, it might be worth asking JHU if they can tell you where you are on the waitlist DRPHNOTANYMORE 1

I’m so sorry to hear this, was secretly hoping we would be classmates if we both got in. You seem like a gem. i just did my USF interview and still no update from Tulane 🥵
Kaneki Posted March 8 Posted March 8 4 hours ago, PhDPursuit said: There were two emails. The first invitation does not ask for you to RSVP. The second one does. If you received the second one, then you got in. Contact their grad program and they will notify you. I was notified a few days later after some of the other applicants. I got an email from the admissions office. They said, "A few admissions results have been sent out to our PhD applicants, but admission results are still in the process of being sent out. We are expecting to be finalized with admission results by sometime in April." Does this mean there are applicants, including myself, who haven't been interviewed yet but might still be considered for an offer? Or anyone who has not been interviewed is already rejected?
mandycandy Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Also received my rejection letter - no email came, but I just checked my portal and the status was updated. Gave myself a moment to cry, and let it go and decided I'll re-apply next year. THANK YOU to everyone on this forum, congratulations to all who got into their program of choice, and I wish everyone the best who is still awaiting their decision, and send all my love to those who weren't accepted during this time. Delayed does not mean denied ❤️❤️ PublicHealthSLP, EquityDoctor, aDrPH and 2 others 5

AdmitMePlsThx Posted March 8 Posted March 8 (edited) Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has heard back from UCLA's Community Health Sciences program yet? The wait is turning me into a bundle of nerves, would love to hear if snyone has any news or updates! Edited March 8 by AdmitMePlsThx

May you be blessed with the continued ability to protect and promote the public's health and wellbeing in your work. Add me toooo! Only waiting to hear back from BU and Southern Georgia, now. But rejected from Harvard, UC-Berkeley, Tulane, and Texas A&M. TAMU, btw was the most odd. The DrPH chair reached out to me mid-Jan to ask me about research interests - they aligned with hers, so I thought I had it in the bag. The response was that they could NOT take me under their advisorship - another professor I chose QUIT & the other that was available would reach out to me. The professor never reached out to me and I got a rejection 3 days after I emailed them. I feel like I dodged a bullet with that program, tbh. This rejection (Tulane) was a hard pill to swallow for me - but in the same time that I applied to grad school, I also applied to other jobs and now I’m waiting to onboard (starting in a 2-4 weeks) with a Public Health org that is bumping my current salary by 50% - this is “life changing” for me. I know money shouldn’t be the motive, but at this salary and with the impact that I’ll be able to make now, grad school (DrPH or PhD) seems unreasonable for me to pursue, now. Keep your head up, everyone - when one door closes, another one opens. And sometimes that door has 30 to choose from once you cross it. I wish everyone much success in everything. Best of luck 🤞🏻 Edited March 8 by MiggyMigs Atila, Veera_DrPH, texaspublichealthgirl and 1 other 4
