I know the email said decisions will go out through the end of March... but it feels so late and like most schools have gotten back to people. I've also seen a lot of acceptances for UNC already. Also, a friendly reminder to let schools you got into know if you won't be going as soon as you do! Obviously take all the time you need for your decisions, but if you're already 100% sure you're not going somewhere, letting them know could open up a spot for someone else Hi, I have been wondering the same exact thing!!

It does look like in past years there were some acceptances in March but I wish they were more transparent about the process. Is it a good thing if you had an interview? Or is it completely neutral if you didn't? I feel like compared to other schools UNC has a lot more variation and unknowns about the process which makes it so stressful. I don't want to email admissions because I know that eventually I'll find out and I don't think they'll tell me anything useful, but waiting on UNC is killing me lol. More transparency around what's going on with their admissions process would be so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get an interview but I thought that was okay since I met with the professor I wanted to work with in November to ask if they would endorse my application and they said they would and had the funding for my position. I think that made me go into the application season over confident. I feel very humbled now which isn't a bad thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a chance of getting in until you get an official rejection, and there might be other factors beyond anyone's control over whether or not someone gets in even if there is an advisor to sponsor you. I would say it's definitely a good sign that you had a professor say they would support you! Whether or not you get in, it means that there's someone who believes in your research ideas, and that they believe you have a successful career ahead of you. If you don't get in then you can always apply again next year! PhD admissions are super random. There are always more qualified applicants than spots for PhD students. It doesn't mean that those who get into schools shouldn't be extremely proud of their accomplishments (because there's so much to celebrate and be proud of!), but it does mean that if we don't get in it could have nothing to do with how well we'd do in a program, or how strong of an applicant we were. Maybe the person reading our applications was just having a bad day at the time they got to ours... You really never know. I'm curious if anyone else here is waiting on UNC or knows about the process. Or if anyone has been interviewed/talked to a professor ahead of time and still hasn't heard back, or is just waiting after hearing nothing since submitting the application.

PhDPursuit Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 15 hours ago, HECON said: I received an email regarding Admit Date(but it's not the invitation). I haven't heard back from UCI after the interview (hope I am still under consideration). I just got a response from their admission staff, "Applications are still being processed, so make sure to keep an eye out for any updates on your applicant portal and any emails about admissions results (which are currently being sent out up until early March). We understand your concerns and we appreciate your patience during the application process. " HECON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjsakj Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 has anyone heard anything from Yale microbial epidemiology and Columbia’s epidemiology? When will they announce the decision?

I emailed the PI after the committee screening interview, and I received my offer this Monday. Once you pass the screening process, it will ultimately depend on the PI's decision to work with you (cuz they gonna pay for ur stipend). If you have any questions, you may reach out to your PI directly I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard yet either - but I applied last year and got my rejection on the 2nd. I know someone who was accepted last year and they heard early in the morning (central time) on the 1st. I'm wondering if this year because the 2nd is a Saturday they'll wait til next week to send out?

Does anybody know if they have a quota for students based on the different tracks? I think the Health Policy and Management concentrations get the maximum number of students. Last year they had around 600 applicants for all concentrations, and they chose around 120 total. so that's like a 20% acceptance rate? Good luck to everyone. I hope everyone on this thread gets in and we all get to be classmates. Ologyswan and PublicHealthSLP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
