Michigan MPH interviews?

[avocado9]

For those who applied to the MPH program at the University of Michigan, have you received an invitation to interview? Or, have you already received an acceptance to the program? Any info would be much appreciated!

I was invited to interview in late December, the interview was on January 23rd, and I received an offer of admission a little less than two weeks later. I'm not sure how long they interview for, though. I'm guessing you applied for the HMP track (the only one that does interviews); I've found Pat O'Kray (the department's Student Services Coordinator) to be very helpful/responsive. Good luck!

Thank you for the info TypeA, and congratulations on your acceptance! I am applying for the joint MPP/MPH at Michigan as well My application was mailed out only this week (even though I e-submitted on 12/5/11 - am harboring so much animosity towards SOPHAS these days!!) - UM said they would still consider my application, but I was curious about where other people were in the admissions process. Thanks again!

Just received an invite to interview with HMP today, whew! TypeA - do you know if the interview is mandatory for admission? Also, did Michigan provide any financial assistance for travel, by any chance? They asked me to come next Monday or the following week, which would be about $500 for flying on such short notice...
