Qantu Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, PhDGorl24 said: Hi all! I have applied to Harvard, BU, Brown, UIC, JHU, and UMich for a PhD in Epi. I have not heard anything from any of the schools about interviews. I am wondering at what point I start to take the silence and lack of interviews as a rejection. Is it still early or is that just wishful thinking. Hi! Don't be discouraged. I know Harvard and JHU have started to send invitations. I heard of people being accepted without an interview. So, I think there are no strict rules regarding interviews. Wish you all the best during this process. Let's stay positive until the end 😃 It looks like the programs will decide between February and March, and the very last decisions are made in April.

PinkPanther0808 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 According to another forum, it looks like Brown sent out interview day requests for Biostats. Still waiting to hear about SBS at Brown. Anairam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpkepi Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi! I applied to PhD in general epi at Johns Hopkins, but I haven't received an interview invite yet. Saw someone got an interview for the same track in the result section. Does anybody know if I still have the chance to get interviewed? By the way, anyone hear from Boston University yet?

MaxPlanck Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On 1/11/2024 at 12:04 PM, PublicHealthBarbie said: random update, but I just finished by NYU Grossman School of Medicine PhD interview for Population Health and it was BRUTAL. It is hard not to walk away feeling so scared and unsure. When speaking about my research experiences they were straightfaced and just incredibly hard to read. Some of my conversations, probably a majority were amazing... but the research talk is like haunting me. If anyone else interviewed for this program, would love to hear of your experience. If you didn't maybe give me some words of encouragement or reassurance that other interviews you have had have also gone like thia Congrats on getting the interview!! I interviewed with my current boss three years ago and I had the same feelings as you did. He looked super serious and asked hard questions that I didn't know the answers to. I left the interview feeling bad. However, I still got the job, and after working with him for 3 years, I gotta say he's the best boss ever! He never appeared to be that dead serious anymore so I guess he happened to have a rough day when he interviewed me or it was me who was so nervous that everything appeared serious from my perspective, which is not necessarily the reality. I also had a "bad" interview last year for a DrPH program during which the interviewers were playing hardball but I still got an offer! I hope my experiences make you feel better, and I can't wait to hear good news from you! PublicHealthShorty, Qantu and PhDGorl24 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbug Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I got an interview invite from Berkeley IDI PhD two weeks ago, I was wondering what's the post-interview acceptance rate gonna look like? It's an incredibly small program I'm not sure if a lot of people have heard about it. It's an in-person interview with costs reimbursed and seems like they have quite a lot of social events lined up for us to meet the faculty and current students.

When I interviewed with Temple, I prepped by going over the materials I submitted with my app. I also made sure I was up to date with the PI’s research and had some questions prepped.

manifesthb Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi all, am I the only one who finds these all day interview events a bit inconsiderate? With the line of work I am in, especially in Q1, there are tons of deadlines and meetings that have been booked months in advance. Schools have reached out and asked me to block out an entire day of work (barely a week in advance) for an all day interview. It seems so strange to do this at the interview stage too, like what do you need to know for 8 hours. Any thoughts on this? Sorry for the rant PublicHealthBarbie and PublicHealthShorty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one interview, and it was only an hour long, but I really had to fit my schedule around the interviewers' schedule on a super busy day for me--one I normally only work a half day for because I'm sort of "on stage" facilitating and teaching all morning. I did it, but the ball is really in their court. I'm not sure if they'd care for feedback . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
