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. Interviews will be scheduled by Feb. Hang in there, hope we make the short list =") Edited January 23 by Qantu cpkepi and DannnnZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too bad - pretty friendly, questions fairly straight forward, around leadership, failure etc. And yup, assuming that's the first round? Certainly the first one I have done!

Ikigai1896 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still aggressively manifesting my interview and have reached a “surrender” stage of waiting but thought I’d prepare myself mentally :)) Hi! Of course! 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP123 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people received interview invitations though - not sure if I should take it as a rejection. PublicHealthShorty and OP123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi -- yes, it seems like some schools have multiple one-person interviews (versus panels). 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publichealth13 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texaspublichealthgirl Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRPHNOTANYMORE Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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.
