PhD in Health Policy/Health Services 2014

[stickynote]

Hey all, 

I'm anxiously awaiting decisions. I applied to a number of PhD programs in Health Policy and Health Services Research. Just looking to see where everyone else is at? Where did you apply? Any Interviews? Any Acceptances or rejections? The results page seems sparse with anything from 2014 in the Health Policy field, so I thought I would start the discussion.

I applied to Browns' Health Services Research program. Haven't heard a word. I email the coordinator with no response.

[mwbnova]

I've heard from Johns Hopkins, Brown, and Harvard about interviews. Still waiting on a few others

[bioethicsstudent]

I applied to Columbia (sociomedical sciences) and Hopkins but haven't heard from either. Mwbnova, do you mind telling us which concentration you applied to at hopkins?

[mwbnova]

I applied to the Health Services Research & Policy program at Hopkins.

[bioethicsstudent]

thanks! still holding out hope that they haven't already interviewed candidates for health policy & bioethics...

[healthpolicynerd]

Hi all!

 

I applied to these HP/HSR programs...

 

Harvard - no word yet?

U of Chicago - scheduled an on-site interview

Northwestern - scheduled an on-site interview

Berkeley - scheduled a phone interview

 

Good luck everyone.

I'm curious - which Harvard program/track did you apply to?

Hi everyone!

 

I've applied to HP/HSR programs as well, and the wait is killing me. I've applied to: 

 

Harvard (ESS track) - waiting (I'm going to assume that since others have already received interviews, it's a no)

Hopkins - waiting

Michigan - waiting

Northwestern - in-person interview

Minnesota - waiting

BU - waiting

[entdeckung]

Finally a thread has popped up regarding these sorts of programs!

 

I've applied to/heard from:

 

Harvard Health Policy - interview invitation, based on the timing in relation to someone's posting on the results board, it seems that invites were definitely not necessarily sent out all at once 

Columbia sociomedical sciences- waiting/no word

[katethekitcat]

U of Chicago - scheduled an on-site interview

 

 

When and how did you hear back?

[healthpolicynerd]

When and how did you hear back?

 

I received an email from the program coordinator early last week, with an invitation for on-site interview. My interview is mid-February. Hope that helps!

I was rejected. Got an email to check the online form.

Has anyone applied/heard from Minnesota's HP/HSR program?  

[HarryNE]

Vbar - yes, but I haven't heard anything yet. I know they review applications every two weeks and accept people on a rolling basis.

[M.waiting]

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!

[ellenie]

I applied to UNC, UM, and Brown. Haven't heard a word from any of them.

[weiwentg]

I applied for a bunch of health policy PhD programs.

 

Penn State: accepted 

University of Washington (Seattle): accepted

Brown University: on the way to interview right now

 

I haven't yet heard from:

University of Minnesota

UNC

Harvard

Brandeis

 

Rejected by BU. It wasn't the best fit, so I'm not worried.

 

Has anyone applied/heard from Minnesota's HP/HSR program?  

 

As I said, I applied and I haven't heard.

As I said, not from UNC. And as I asked on the other thread, does UM mean Minnesota, Michigan, or some other state?

 

The two folks who applied to Harvard for the ESS track - I applied to that one as well. Harvard is a stretch (not very good MPH grades), but best wishes to you.

[mwbnova]

I'm on my way to Brown to interview as well...

Re: University of Minnesota, I contacted PhD coordinator, and she said that adcom committee meets again in 2 weeks, so presumably news will follow (if people hear earlier, please post).  She also said that no decision/notification at this point is not necessairly bad news, but I have my doubts (am assuming offers have already been made, based on past history of results).
