Checked my Emory portal today. Application was denied. Oh well. Just waiting for 4 more schools. 

Were you also in the PH Preparedness track? Good luck with the other 4 schools!

Also heard from Tulane, received email to check the portal.

Had you already registered in their portal? I don’t think any of my communications so far have mentioned one.

No, it was the first time I had seen it - they sent a temp password to register.

Thank you - makes me feel better I didn’t miss something earlier.

Well, I was waitlisted for Tulane. Better than the first two rejections at least, now to continue waiting to see if space opens up. I wonder how many they put on a waitlist.

I think I'll likely accept a different offer based on program fit - I hope you get my spot! Will probably decline next week, still waiting to see if we hear back from any of the other programs.

That’s awesome - this is a top choice for what I want to do with it so it would be a good fit for me in that regard. I appreciate the little bit of hope offered 😆

It seems like an excellent program, I've only heard good things about it! It's been a long admissions cycle, gotta take any hope we can get.

I interviewed at Harvard last year, so it's not the same. But my main takeaways: Be sure to know your personal statement backwards and forwards. Be sure to know UNC's program and what it will do for your career--be more specific than the credential. What makes UNC's program special to you? Be prepared to know where you are headed in your career and why it matters to you and your chosen community. Harvard also cared a lot about my core values and how I differentiated leadership from management/why they were both important.  I hope that helps! Very best of luck to you, ChiGirl25!

I got an interview invite from UGA , University of Georgia DrPH program. Did one else got an interview invite aswell?

 

And does anyone knows how their interview looks like?

 

@PH-Medicals I didn't apply to UGA but I asked for interview advice and @Mamitis gave the advice above. It was really helpful. Good luck on your interview!

Also...I got into UNC

Hi @ChiGirl25 thanks for the reply . Does the UNC DrPH program comes with funding?

Has anyone applied to Rutgers and not heard anything? I received their confirmation email that they received my SOPHAS application, but then got another email saying I needed to complete my application. I emailed them back in November to clarify, and followed up this week, but haven't heard anything back. Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Long timer lurker here. Has anyone heard from Rutgers yet?
 

I saw a few posts on Reddit with folks who reached out and admissions projected offers going out first week of March. 
 

good luck everyone!

I haven't heard from them. I never even got a message saying they received my application, so I followed up and got an email back saying they did get it. I haven't heard anything since.

this is both reassuring and frustrating LOL

also have only gotten radio silence since they confirmed receipt of my application. 
 

looking back at some older forums, decisions went out as late as 03/19 last year… yikes. continuing to hold my breath. 
 

thanks!!

Just got accepted into Emory's DrPH program under the Implementation and Evaluation Science track this afternoon!

I got accepted into Emory's DrPH program under the Public Health Preparedness and Response track!

Someone on Reddit posted this: 

 

JHU Implementation Science folks: expect decisions

THIS WEEK!! They uploaded decisions to SOPHAS last week and will notify students of their decision no later than Friday. Good luck!!
 

So, take that for whatever it’s worth. Might only be that track, but still can give a little hope.

Yes I was, I logged in and saw my application was denied. Were you waiting for a result? or was your application denied first and then changed? I click on my decision letter and it says none available lol.

Emailed Rutgers to do a pulse check. 
 

as of 03/12, admissions folks said “the committee will release decisions over the course of next week.”

😵‍💫

Does Emory do rolling admission? The final application deadline for Fall is July but looks like acceptances happen through the year? 

[lukemartinmsgh]

JHU decisions are dropping! I got in!
