I've seen results saying people had received interview invites. I applied to both. I interviewed at Harvard last year and was rejected, so I guess their decision stands firm 🤷♀️

It's unclear whether or not getting an interview is a soft rejection ;(

I’ve only heard one current student mention the interview when I reached out to a few last fall, others never mentioned it.

Mamitis Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Hey, y’alls! If you feel so inclined, there’s a page on grad cafe for updates on interviews/acceptances/rejections. https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/post.php More streamlined.

manifesthb Posted January 13 Posted January 13 hi all- seeking some interview advice here. I have a few interviews with professors coming up and panel interviews (I’ve never done panels). Some of the professors I’m interviewing with don’t have alignment with my interests (they seem to be directors of the program- on my app, I listed other professors in that department). How do you suggest going about this? Yes, I know to talk genuinely about my interests, goals, etc. but, in terms of relating to the interviewers, what should be the game plan?
Qantu Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Got an interview at UNC! 😃 manifesthb, Mamitis, PublicHealthShorty and 2 others 2 3
EnvHEpi Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Has anyone heard from Columbia EHS or Berkeley or San Diego Epi or Northeastern PHS?

Qantu Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I should have had a second interview with X university today, but the interviewer never showed up. I sent a follow up email and I am still waiting to know from the interviewer. Anyone heard/had of a similar situation? What could it mean? My first interview for the same program also ended earlier (half of the time) than expected and the interviewer didnt talk much and was very difficult to read. In my short experience, interviews are being brutal 😭

I just did some interview prep with folks from my institution. It was wonderfully helpful. Review all your application materials. See if you can get someone to ask you clarifying questions about what you wrote. And then make sure you explain or assess the familiarity with your interests to the interviewers. You may need to educate them on aspects of your ideas. Panels can be uncomfortable. Especially if everyone feels impersonal or stone faced. But stick with it! It’s so hard to read people in that setting, so it’s better to lean into what got you the interview in the first place. Public health grl and manifesthb 2
