neurogeno Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Congrats! Which dept did you apply to? Thanks! I applied to Global Health and the Interdisciplinary Infectious Disease Epidemiology program emeyeseekayeewhy 1
ASA15 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Congrats to everyone in at Harvard!!! I haven't heard back, so I'm guessing it's a no :/ . Ah well, makes my decision easier, and I'm not exactly bummed to be off to Emory in the fall!
colby11 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 This might sound like an odd request for some of you, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some quotes of their acceptance letters/email on this threat. I feel like it will be helpful for all those who are still anxiously waiting to hear back. It just give us something to look up to.
niihla08 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I applied to HPM at Harvard SM2 and didn't hear back today I'm guessing that's a no?
kbui Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I applied to HPM at Harvard SM2 and didn't hear back today I'm guessing that's a no? Don't say that! You're making me super nervous too... I called them today but they were out of the office. :\
GradSchooler Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 By some miracle I also got into Harvard. SM2 in HPM.
kbui Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 By some miracle I also got into Harvard. SM2 in HPM. Did I get rejected?! Or are they just waiting until tomorrow? I applied for the Global Health and Populations program.
kbui Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm basically freaking out to the max. I need candy in my life.
niihla08 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm basically freaking out to the max. I need candy in my life. If you call and ask, can you let us know what they say? Not sure what program you applied to, but the SM2 HPM class looks super tiny. Assuming their "current students" section includes all the students. Looks like 9 total..meaning only 4-5 per cohort. On top of that, further breakdown between policy vs management vs research. They must admit a very small amount of applicants.

RunnerGrad Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I had and interview with UofT for their MPH in community nutrition this past week. They said we will hear back on March 7th. It's going to be a very long week.
wiggy1325 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Has anyone heard anything from San Diego State or Iowa regarding MPH decisions? plaidjacket 1
katethekitcat Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Has anyone heard anything from San Diego State or Iowa regarding MPH decisions? I heard from Iowa back in October.
NeurosciMRI Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Just got into Johns Hopkins for Epidemiology (MHS). Excited but stressed out. I hate making decisions. Edited February 28, 2014 by NeurosciMRI
wiggy1325 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I heard from Iowa back in October. October? How early did you apply?
katethekitcat Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 October? How early did you apply? Oops, I lied - I heard back November 1. I applied mid-September and my application was actually mailed by SOPHAS early October, I believe.

They must admit a very small amount of applicants. I think the "current students" section is comprised of some of their featured students and not everyone. And if it is everyone, then that is an mind-blowing small amount. In either case, I still haven't received anything yet, so... I'm really sad.
mittensmitten895 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I think Harvard epidemiologic methods ScD results should be out fairly soon. A POI emailed me yesterday to let me know that since I got into the biostatistics PhD and seemed more likely to accept that offer than one from epi, I probably won't receive an offer from epidemiology but that I am welcome to work with any of the jointly appointed professors. Oh, well. They weren't wrong. Honestly, I feel like it was worth paying the two application fees to make sure I ended up in the right department. I wasn't sure how applying to two departments would pan out, but I have to say I'm impressed with the care and thought they seem to have put into evaluating fit. My only regret is that some of my application fee ended up going to support that godawful SOPHAS.

It may not be over yet...I emailed them and her response was: We anticipate this review period being complete within the next 6-10 days. Best of luck with the process!

niihla08 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nice! Ok spoke to soon. Just got a rejection letter in my email Oh well! I got into my top choice anyways
ASA15 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Rejected from Harvard, as well. At least now my decision is easier!
