Qantu Posted January 29 Posted January 29 11 minutes ago, srhpublichealth8 said: I unfortunately don’t have any idea of how UNC’s financial system works, BUT I have heard of students successfully using more competitive offers from other schools to ask for a better package (larger stipend, fellowship, relocation stipend, soft benefits). I would look online for any advice on negotiating PhD packages, since I haven’t gotten any acceptances (yet!) and haven’t gone through the process myself. I did negotiate when deciding on master’s programs and ended up getting an additional $25k scholarship, so it definitely can work! Thanks a lot! This information is very helpful. Wish you the best for your applications! srhpublichealth8 1

They mentioned decisions would be released in batches until the end of March. So, there is still a lot of time. Fingers crossed! Thanks! Yes I received that email as well. I think they are still interviewing other applicants. Fingers crossed! Qantu 1

Natalietx Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Hi all! Has anyone applied to the 2024 DrPH at Texas A&M? I applied back in October and it has been radio silence since they confirmed my application in November.

I was sort of expecting it, because a professor with similar interest viewed my LinkedIn recently lol. I didn't get any info on which track or mentor I was accepted to or funding yet.

Behavioralsci98 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Does anyone know how admissions work at WashU? I saw someone got an interview today but I’ve also seen in previous years people got accepted without interview.
Qantu Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Btw, it looks like Boston University (PhD Epi) interviews have started to go out. I got an interview invitation today. PhDGorl24 1

texaspublichealthgirl Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I just heard from someone on Reddit that they have an interview next week with JHU for the DrPh program. Anyone else heard? I wasn’t sure if they were interviewing or not, looks like they are.

Saw someone post earlier today that they got an interview but for a track different from the one I’m interested in. Thanks! edit: is notification sent by a PI or admin? Hi mdtl54, I'm the one that posted the interview invite for substance use epi. I received an e-mail from the progam's director and academic coordinator with another application form for me to fill out, and was then invited to have an interview with the academic coordinator. So to answer your question, it's an admin interview. Surprised to see that no one else has received any invites from Columbia!

PhDGorl24 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I may have missed it but has anyone heard anything from University of Michigan or Harvard University for Epi PhD program updates?
