123hardasABC Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Still getting killed in admissions... not really sure what to do hah Denied from UPenn I already *know* I'm deferring (have the opportunity to au pair for an ambassadors family in Europe) so I may reapply to one or two next year... but I'm not sure. So sorry to hear that You heard back from UPenn already? I barely just got an email saying they've received my app last week..... Now you're making me nervous.
123hardasABC Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Lol... rejected from GWU, which if you knew my situation you would hopefully find that as funny as I do How is that funny?
kbui Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Did anybody hear back from Harvard yet? I checked around the forum and didn't see anything besides for PhDs.
ASA15 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Nope, haven't heard anything from Harvard yet. Although I think they tell you to expect an answer around the end of February beginning of March... Also, got accepted to Emory via Opus about 1.5 weeks ago and just got the email today... haha! Though they're accepted students website is very nice and seems helpful!
M.waiting Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Hello all, I applied to: GWU UNC Yale UIC UM for a PhD in health policy and management Did anyone hear back from any of these schools? Thanks in advance!

Did you ask or was it from previous years? I'm so nervous for Harvard... definitely my dream school.
ASA15 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Kbui, I'm pretty sure it was in the email they sent me to say they'd received my application.
emeyeseekayeewhy Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Also got an email from Emory yesterday! The accepted student website is really nice Also got an email from FedEx today saying my admissions packet is on the way.
Jessica.allen Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 has anyone heard anything from the University of South Carolina?
Leccolago Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 To those who have heard back from Emory, how long did it take?
mojodreams Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 To those who have heard back from Emory, how long did it take? A long time. I applied at the end of November and just heard on Monday.
123hardasABC Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 To those who have heard back from Emory, how long did it take? I applied back in October, and was admitted two weeks ago....so a really long time. Although, according to the correspondent at admissions I've been email, they didn't start reviews until the end of December....so it was more like a month.
kbui Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 A long time. I applied at the end of November and just heard on Monday. I want to hear back from Harvard--I guess we're in the same boat according to your signature.
MPH(D?) Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Got into UNC's Health Behavior PhD program!! I applied back in November for those still waiting to hear. I'm pretty much over the moon... Also as an FYI, I didn't get into several lower ranked schools last cycle. I was disheartened (ok devastated) but so glad it worked out this way! Fit is everything! Good luck everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor!
livenlearn Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Congrats MPH(D) i am happy to see people getting positve results after suffering some setbacks. I got rejected from hopkins and UW and accepted at pittsburgh for epi PhD . It's not over until it's over. i am still waiting to hear from 6 schools. Good luck to everybody still waiting on an acceptance.
KennedyAM Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) So sorry to hear that You heard back from UPenn already? I barely just got an email saying they've received my app last week..... Now you're making me nervous. I'm sure you're fine. I applied a long time ago. How is that funny? Let's just say a very very high ranking individual IN GWU's SPHHS wrote my letter of recommendation and I just find it a little funny Edited February 7, 2014 by KennedyAM
mojodreams Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I want to hear back from Harvard--I guess we're in the same boat according to your signature. Yep! if you get into Harvard, will you go there? Or will go to Yale? I suppose you might have some time to figure it out with the potential to do a Fulbright. I am torn. I really like Yale and its small class size, no grades, and ability to take classes in other departments...and Yale is a MPH...so I might have more professional flexibility if I choose to leave academia. Harvard is a MS (currently wanting a PhD) and they have an amazing reputation, but the culture might be different than at Yale. I don't know, but I would LOVE to have the "problem" of needing to decide...and if I did, I would of course visit. Just wanted to know if you already have a preference and if so, why.

I was talking to Harvard at an Idealist fair and they said students in the public health school can also take classes in other departments. And even though Yale is an official MPH (I am applying for an MSc in Global Health at Harvard), I don't think an MS/MSc will be much different in terms of knowledge attainment. In addition, having an MS would give us more research experience anyways. I want to go to Harvard because of the world class program, the prestige, and the ability to live in Boston for graduate school. And I also heard that we can actually take classes at nearby universities like MIT. And it seems like you've been accepted to several schools--how are you going to decide? Especially with the $25K scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis. I'm really looking forward to the chance to get a Fulbright this year, and if I did I'll be able to use that year abroad and apply to scholarships and fellowships to fund my degree. One can only dream... I hope we both get acceptances at the end of the month.
KennedyAM Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 between my sister and I we added a Tulane & Miami (applied for the MPH/MAIA so waiting on MAIA) acceptance

I really like WashU, and they would be a prestigious place to get an MPH, but it is hard to turn down a place like Yale, as Yale is more established in the world of public health...and they have an excellent psychiatric program (I am interested in psychiatric health care)...but WashU also has those medical strengths. I am waiting to hear what Yale will offer in regards to scholarships and such. AND, I would also love the opportunity to go to Harvard because it is very true that they are on top of their game in the public health arena.
weiwentg Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Hello all, I applied to: GWU UNC Yale UIC UM for a PhD in health policy and management Did anyone hear back from any of these schools? Thanks in advance! Which UM? I applied to Minnesota, and haven't heard back yet. I've also applied to UNC and not heard back yet.
terrrruh Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Does the Columbia MPH in Health Policy do interviews? Has anyone heard from them? The website doesn't say that they do interviews, but I vaguely recall having seen others' posts on forums saying that they've been contacted for interviews. Kind of makes me anxious that I haven't heard anything from them...
faithfullywaiting Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 For those who have heard back via email---did you reply to the email to say thank you...or do you just not...?
epikid2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) For those who have heard back via email---did you reply to the email to say thank you...or do you just not...? Typically the emails come from webadmit.org - it's an organization that sends out acceptance/rejection/waitlist emails for schools and all the email addresses are "donotreply@webadmit.org". Afterwards I've been getting some personal emails from admissions officers/heads of departments/faculty/potential advisors/students and those necessitate some response (and a thank you!).
