New to the forum experience but I just found this group so helpful during the past few days of intense waiting! 

Has anyone heard about interviews for UC Berkeley or Columbia for EH? When I applied to Columbia, they said they didn't match you with an advisor until you got there, so I'm not sure what the interview process looks like. I'm assuming I would've heard about an interview from either of the two schools by now if I was making it to the next round. 

I got an offer from UCLA and interview from Harvard (waiting to hear back). I'm nervous because my acceptance at UCLA is trying to move forward and I don't have an answer for them yet. Not sure if anyone is in a similar position where they are trying to weigh their options and the schools are on totally different timelines! Also got a rejection from JHU yesterday. 

Good luck to everyone!! 

Congrats to your UCLA offer!! what program did you apply to?

Congrats! Same here!

Congratulations to everyone who received interview invitations. Likewise. I am not quite sure I understand. Has anyone ever interviewed at USF and can explain the process?

Thank you so much! I applied to the EHS track. I was telling someone else on here that the prof reached out really early, so I'm not sure if it's indicative of the schools general timeline. I have been getting emails for admitted students days in the last few days. I hope everything is going well and goes well for you!

Congrats to you as well! It feels like we are along for the ride together virtually, lol. 
 

i read on Reddit that USF does 3 rounds and heard they do cuts after each round.

Haha, Yes. It seems like we're in this together.

So, we are supposed to receive an email with the information and respond to that within 48 hours? Or can we expect to be talking to someone on Zoom?

Three rounds of interviews are quite rigorous and overwhelming. I hope we all make it through. Good Luck to everyone.

I understood it as we need to respond with dates/times within 48h (by Friday). I assume first round interviews will take place next week.

Anyone hear anything from Yale SBS or get a formal interview? The department itself has no funding but there are alternative sources.

Yes, I would give it more time! Prof. reached out to me in second week of December and I got the offer the last few days of Jan. Definitely a different timeline :)

Okay, I re-read the email. I should have paid better attention. They will email us 3 questions and they want a written response by Friday. Nothing about scheduling an interview at this point. 
 

For the first round of the interview process, you will be contacted tomorrow, Wednesday, February 14 and asked to provide written responses to three questions, within a 48 hour timeframe. Please be prepared for this next step in the admissions process.

Probably so, because the reply I just received from the department is that the top candidates (regardless of citizenship) were interviewed this week (international students via zoom).  According to them, it is likely that everyone else will either be a waitlisted candidate or may be declined, and that  waitlisted candidates are then interviewed IF they go to the waitlist. In any case they plan to release decisions by the end of the month.

PS. This information is specifically for Yale SBS

Anyone else apply to the UNMC DrPH program?

I just got an email from admissions, not sure if these are done on a rolling basis.
"The preliminary review has been completed on your application for the Doctor of Public Health program.  Your application has been forwarded to our DrPH faculty to be included in our final review process. All final reviews will begin after the February 1st application deadline. Our DrPH review committee hopes to have final decisions communicated around April 15th."

I got an interview on 2/28 for PhD SBHS, University of Pittsburgh. 

Does anyone know how their funding works?
