PhD in Health Policy Fall 2024 - The Grad Cafe Forums

[plzaccept]

Hey there!

I'm excited to create this forum for all the applicants of PhD Fall 2024 health policy programs. Let's get started by asking any questions we may have. We can also share our interview status and support each other throughout the application process!

Best of luck to us all!

I applied to Harvard health policy program but haven’t heard anything yet. Has anyone been invited to interview?

A friend in the program told me interview invites happen at the end of January/beginning of February for the health policy program at Harvard. I also haven’t had an interview.

My friend also said he received his acceptance from Brown on Feb 8, so if interviews haven’t already been done, it’s likely a rejection sadly (but fingers crossed I’m wrong!).

Also waiting to hear back from Harvard regarding an interview/rejection notification. I have already received rejections from Berkeley and JHU. I am still waiting to hear back from Harvard and Yale. How about you both?

I interviewed with Hopkins, Minnesota, and Toronto. But haven’t heard from them since. They all said I’d hear back mid-February if not later. 

Haven’t heard anything from Brown, Harvard, Michigan, or Drexel, but doing what I can to remain optimistic. 

The other forum made it seem like Yale was crazy competitive with very few spaces and funding opportunities? Not sure what program they were referring to, though. Wish you the best of luck!!!!!!

I heard back from Hopkins this morning - didn't get in. But wish you all the best of luck!!!!
