I heard there were hundreds of applicants this year, so the first screening is taking long. A selected list of candidates will be invited for interviews at the end of the month and early Feb.

mindymar1985 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Just a bit of info re: the Harvard DrPH - I interviewed this morning with the program, I think the last date for interviews is the 28th Jan?

Expand Thanks! When you mean by last day, do you mean sending out interview invites is january 28th, or they should have all interviews done and wrapped up by January 28th. I thought the KIIRA assessment was supposed to replace the interviews, but clearly doesn't seem to be the case.

Ikigai1896 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 @Qantu I would love to hear your experience interviewing for Harvards PHS PHD program! I’m still aggressively manifesting my interview and have reached a “surrender” stage of waiting but thought I’d prepare myself mentally :)) epigirly 1

It was around January 10 To be honest, I don't know if it went good of bad. It was a 30- minute talk with questions related to what makes me a unique candidate for the program. I also had the chance to talk about my mentoring and research experiences and ask questions about the program. The flow of the conversation was positive, but I didn't feel the interviewer selling the program. People say that good interviews have a component of selling-buying from both sides. Hope this helps! I couldn't understad if you got an interview or are waiting to receive one, but I wish you the best in any case 🤗 cpkepi and Ikigai1896 2

OP123 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Hi everyone, I am new to this place, just want to get some information. I applied for the PhD in Population Health Sciences at Harvard University with a concentration in Occupational Epidemiology. So far I have not received anything from the office. Not sure if they are still sending out invitations for interview.

A lot of people received interview invitations though - not sure if I should take it as a rejection. OP123 and PublicHealthShorty 2

For one of the schools, I had a call with a potential advisor and another call with a member of the admission committee. britshark 1
publichealth13 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Hi! Is it common for interviewers to ask you what other programs you applied to? And what would be the best answer to this question? Thanks!

Admissions was ambivalent about interviews when I had asked prior to applying.
texaspublichealthgirl Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Hi All! IU DrPh global public health - interviewed dec 20, accepted Jan 19th. I haven’t seen anyone else asking about this program, lol, so wondering if I’m missing something. Tulane DrPh Leadership Advocacy Equity - no response JHU DrPh - no response (portal says application under review) University of South Florida DrPh Advanced Practice Leadership - no response (also don’t see anyone else asking about this program 👀) DRPHNOTANYMORE and MiggyMigs 2
Allegra98 Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Update, Harvard PhD PHS GHP has sent out all interview requests 🥲 just emailed the assistant director of the program and got the reply OP123 1
DRPHNOTANYMORE Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Hi. I have applied to IU DRPH, JHU DRPH, Rutgers DRPH, and USF DRPH. I have been accepted at IU, but they require me to submit my MPH degree by the 1st of March. I haven't heard from the rest of the programs yet. I am looking forward to hearing from USF DRPH because my chances of being accepted at JHU are pretty slim. Best of luck to everyone. BZG and texaspublichealthgirl 1 1
BZG Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Congratulations 🎉 how exciting. When did you apply to IU? I thought the deadline wasn't till March?
Jstrick7 Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Anyone receive any notifications about acceptance or interviews from USF DrPh fall 2024 applications? applied 3 weeks after applications opened and haven’t heard anything besides my app had been forwarded for decision when I check my application status.
