I've heard nothing! How sure are we that there will be second interviews? Is this just based on the precedent that it has happened in previous years?

[Cm2223]

No word. From what I gather there will be no second interview, but unsure!

Hi all, Friday, Feb 1st, I received a Michigan offer of Admission for the PhD Epi! Just a heads up for anyone who also received a letter, was wondering if we can compare the financial aid package!

Hi.

I have a question.

What do DrPH applicants think of East Carolina University as a backup option? Is it worth the expenditure and effort?

Ok! Welp. Thanks for the update! I heard from a previous grad about the second interview business. He was fairly certain, but that he doesn’t work for admissions.

What is your stats? How many schools have you applied  and how many acceptances have you gotten and have they offered scholarships? If East Carolina is feasible and offers  scholarships I say go for it if you haven't gotten any acceptances. I know they require the GRE so may be a con.

Hi.

I havn't heard anything for PhD Epi from BU, GW U and UC Berkeley. Should I consider this as a rejection?

[DannnnZ]

Did anybody recieved interview from the Health Science Integrated Program at Northwestern? Any body would know what they will probably ask in the interview? (I recieved the interview request and it will take several rounds with the department director and track leader, pretty nervous about the uncertainty)

[globalhealth_2024]

Anyone heard back from JHU International Health SBI track?

[Qantu]

I got my first rejection today, from Duke University. Good luck to all, I appreciate we are going through this process together! 😁

[Atila]

I got reply from Georgia State University that I was not selected for interview for DrPH program. 🥲

[EnvHEpi]

Does anyone know the timeline for University of Washington EHS? I had an interview a like over 2 weeks ago and just say that they are still sending it interview invites. In the past they had released acceptances around this time. 

[dinklebergPH]

I'm sorry. Did you apply to Georgia Southern or UGA?

[dinklebergPH]

i'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully we will hear a congratulations you have been accepted. Trying to be patient and not ruminate haha.

[MimiNMe]

Anyone get an acceptance from Harvard PHS yet? if so, what concentration? I saw someone post an acceptance elsewhere but can't find it on this site. Unsure if this was for MPH or PhD.
