kbui Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Do people get letters of rejection from MPH schools before the end of March/April? Or does everyone wait until schools stop accepting and then get an email? I know people have been getting acceptances, so I wanted to know if the same is true for rejection.
123hardasABC Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I haven't received a rejection yet but from what I've heard schools are releasing acceptances, rejections, and even some waitlists at around the same time.
faithfullywaiting Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yes, they do :/ I've gotten one rejection already from Tulane, and they do rolling admission. Also, you can also look at the results page and see both rejections and acceptances start coming in around the same time...

faithfullywaiting Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm sorry to hear that. :\ But thank you for the answers! It's okay-I wasn't too upset about it. Also, not to sound weird but I remember you from the Fulbright forum last year--I applied too and didn't make it after being a finalist. Good job applying again this year, very admirable & wishing you the best! I hope you get it!!!!

I feel like I'm maturing every year, and I hope that the Fulbright commission (and Jesus) sees that and let me have the grant this year.

Besides obviously applying to MPH schools.
faithfullywaiting Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 But what have you been up to after hearing news from Fulbright until now? Besides obviously applying to MPH schools. After getting over the fact that I didn't get the grant (it took a while lol) I just continued working and getting more research experience locally to build up my resume for graduate school with a few existential crisis' thrown here and there ha. I can't believe it's been a year since that whole process- too crazy. How about you?

A friend said this to me once: "As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good; I was actually being re-directed to something better." I bet this year is your year!

I can't believe it's been a year since that whole process- too crazy. How about you? Well the first year I applied for a Fulbright, I also applied for a Boren scholarship. When Fulbright ultimately rejected me, Boren accepted me within the same month. From there, I continued to study Chinese in Taiwan where I increased my language skills from intermediate to advanced. I entered a couple national Chinese competitions and placed in all of them After returning to the arctic tundra that is Minnesota, I found a position as a health educator with a non-profit and also became a public health consultant. And just recently, I got recruited to be a health educator with a non-profit in Los Angeles, so I'm moving over there next week!

You have so much experience I'm sure you will be fine! So if you get the fulbright and into the schools you want--I'm guessing you will choose the fulbright?

MadtownJacket Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 What?? No! Why would you leave behind the best-ever state?? Psh, everyone knows Wisconsin's the best
kbui Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Wow that's so great! Boren is just as amazing-congrats! You have so much experience I'm sure you will be fine! So if you get the fulbright and into the schools you want--I'm guessing you will choose the fulbright? If I got accepted into an MPH program and a Fulbright, I would choose Fulbright and go to Thailand for a year while deferring my acceptance into the MPH program. During that year abroad, I would look and apply for fellowships and funding to fund my two years in school. This is my ideal dream for the moment. Edited January 27, 2014 by kbui
