FreeRadical Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 has anyone heard anything from UC Berkeley Epi PhD or Johns Hopkins International Health PhD? not sure if they do interviews... I'm waiting on both of those programs too, but for DrPH instead of PhD.
gnarls_barkley Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Has anyone heard from Minnesota Epi PhD?
gradepi Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Has anyone heard from Minnesota Epi PhD? nope, so much for "by the end of the Jan at the latest"
gnarls_barkley Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 nope, so much for "by the end of the Jan at the latest" Ha, I was hoping to hear something Friday, but don't want to be that overeager person emailing admissions right away.
Latin021288 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, Has anyone heard something from Harvard DrPH? Interviews were suppose to happen from late January to early February.
seaturtles Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Got accepted to UW epi yesterday! Now to begin the process of begging profs for money. Still haven't heard anything from UNC. Have many people heard? Edited February 5, 2015 by seaturtles
Machaon01 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Hey All - Got my rejection from Pitt (not a competitive applicant) which seems kind strange since I got interviews at Brown and Columbia. I think for the record, I like the letters that say "many qualified applicants, really couldn't choose" rather than Pitt's which basically comes down to - "you kinda suck" Any other thoughts?

masgniw Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Any body hear from UCLA yet? It's the only place I applied to. It looks like Masters applicants are starting to hear decisions, as per the "results" page.
KB8 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I just got my rejection from UCLA today. Here's where I applied: Hopkins Brown - Rejected Columbia UCLA - Rejected Berkeley Irvine UCSD Tulane All for PhD in Epidemiology (infectious disease concentration). I'm finishing up my MPH at Berkeley now, so I'm waiting to hear from them. Irvine is my second choice. I haven't received any interview invitations yet, it seems like not all programs do them. The only school that mentioned anything about interviews on their website was Tulane, so it's been a little surprising seeing people post interviews!

Sorry about UCLA, KB8 - did they contact you via email? It's the only school I applied to, so I'm paying close attention to what's going on with decisions on these boards. They seem to be one of the last schools releasing decisions. At the PhD level, I've only seen 2 or 3 posts and all have been rejections so far...

Not a good research fit for me, I just wanted to cast a wide net. Good luck!
KB8 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 @masgniw looks like UCLA is releasing acceptances too
masgniw Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 @masgniw looks like UCLA is releasing acceptances too I am seeing that on the results page now too...any day now!
Machaon01 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Anyone hear anything from Yale Epi yet? Columbia was interviewing 41 applicants via Skype over the last few days and plans on making decisions tomorrow. They got 150+ applicants, they narrowed it down to 41 and I don't know how many they admit, but previously I had been told that they normally get 200 applicants, they admit 35 and about 8 actually enroll.
universerunr55 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (e-mail) rejected from michigan (epi phd). blerg. knew this was coming since i didn't get an invite to their doctoral day. but still sucks. or rather sucks for them guess i'll just keep fighting ebola here in conakry...
seaturtles Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Anyone hear back from Michigan post-interview?? Professors I talked to said about two weeks, but it looks like people didn't hear last year until February 28th. I don't think I can wait that long!
pharmacomom Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi all! Stumbled across this so thought I'd add... Applied to Boston University epidemiology PhD and Harvard epidemiology ScD, no results yet but interviewed at BU Friday 2/13 (prospectives day). Results page here has a note that Harvard ScD isn't doing interviews so I'm hoping that's accurate. Good luck, everybody!

Professors I talked to said about two weeks, but it looks like people didn't hear last year until February 28th. I don't think I can wait that long! My POI at Michigan said on February 3rd that it would take "a few weeks" for the epidemiology department to work through the details. Also, I was accepted at University of Washington for PhD in Global Health (Feb 6th) and just got an interview for DrPH in International Health at Hopkins (Feb 15th). It's a big relief to get the first acceptance! Edited February 16, 2015 by FreeRadical

Can i ask did you apply for the metrics track or the implementation track at UW? also, from the schools you did interview with, do you know approximately what is the admission rate for those invited to interview?

Can i ask did you apply for the metrics track or the implementation track at UW? also, from the schools you did interview with, do you know approximately what is the admission rate for those invited to interview? I applied to the metrics track at UW. There were seven people invited for interviews, and I think three received offers. At Michigan, I counted about 30 people at Doctoral Program Day for epidemiology. One professor said they usually take 10-12 each year depending on funding. I don't know much about the applicant pool for DrPH in International Health at Johns Hopkins. It's a phone interview, so I won't get to meet the other applicants. I also applied to Berkeley and UNC, and I think they don't do interviews.

kang6789 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I've noticed rejections from UNC and Hopkins posted recently. Were the Hopkins rejections posted only by people who were interviewed? Or have non-interviewed people received official rejections as well? I haven't heard anything from either school, and I'm worried my application wasn't reviewed. Both applications use applyyourself, and I'm worried I messed something up. As an aside, I was accepted at Emory last week, as well as UW, and interviewed at Columbia last week. Applied to Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale as well.

So you're not the only one :-). ETA: Also, congratulations on your acceptances! I was also accepted at UW. Getting really nervous about funding though... Edited February 18, 2015 by seaturtles
