Hi everyone!

I applied to 4 programs (Hopkins, Emory, GWU, and Claremont). I had my GWU interview in early November and was told I would hear back in February. Has anyone else heard that? Haven't heard anything from the other programs. Good luck all!

Hi! I had my GWU interview in October and was told I'd hear back in early December (depending on how soon the faculty reviewed applications). Did you apply for the online version or the in person one? I believe the admission decision timelines are different but I'm not positive. Good luck!!

GWU is doing admissions decisions in two waves. The first wave of applicants are those who interviewed before November 1st, and those will hear back any day now. The second wave of applicants are those who interviewed November 1st and onward, and those applicants will hear back in the spring semester. That's what I was told, at least.

HI everyone! I got a weird email from GWU this morning. It was an e-sign document, and said :

Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. Please sign your Intent to Enroll documents by clicking the link below.

I'm wondering if anyone else got anything like this today? It just seems really weird!

Good morning! Did anyone receive an email this morning with an e-sign asking for you to sign an "intent to enroll?" I got one from GWU this morning and am concerned it's a scam. Wondering if t his has happened to anyone else?

I did, too! If it's NOT a scam, it's one weird way to receive an acceptance. Congratulations?  I hope? 

 

Hmaxey, if you did get in, what's your likelihood of accepting?

Ok! So if you open the link, it's the acceptance letter with the full congratulations, etc. Just a weird way to send it. But I'll take it!!!!!!!

Oh wow, I was scared to click on it so I just sent the admissions folks an email asking if it was legitimate 😂 That is a really weird way to send it, but I'm happy!! Congratulations to you!!!

I'm likely going to accept (if I did in fact get admitted, haha) but I still have quite a few other applications I'm waiting to hear back from. GWU is my #2 choice though so I may just go ahead and accept since the other schools' admission decisions are in February or March.

How about you?

Got an autogenerated email today from JHU DrPH with instructions to create an account for the applicant portal. Crossing my fingers and my heart drops every time I get an email. Good luck everyone!

How about you?

I applied and was not accepted to 4 programs last year: Harvard (interviewed), Hopkins, Tulane, and Boston University.

So I might just call it a day and accept. Which is hardly a bad thing. I feel confident and comfortable that GW is a good program for me. Good fit. Diverse fellow students. Policy focus, etc. In terms of accepting, I'm going to meditate a bunch. Journal. Come down from my high of being accepted and make a sober decision.

 

Let me know if we will be together.

I did hear from Tulane as well (didn't get it) but it does look like they might be doing some decisions early (or just denials, not sure).

When did you apply? I got the email confirmation my submission was complete and ready for review 11/21, and the email noted “The DrPH admissions committee will meet in February, and we expect to begin making offers of admission in March, but in some cases, decisions may take longer. We’ll be in touch if we need any further information.”

 I haven’t heard anything since that confirmation email.

My application was received by Tulane on 9/12/2024. I got that same email you did, so I wasn't expecting anything this early.

Thank you for sharing the info, and I’m sorry for the disappointing news but hope your other options work out to be the better fit.
