Still, you got an interview at UCSF, which is an excellent school. On 1/22/2016 at 1:38 AM, etherealhav0c said: Oh.

Congratulations on the interview, and best of luck! Expand Thank you both! Fingers crossed that all turns out well for everyone. Also, i had two friends who were accepted and are currently attending the UCSF PhD program in Epidemiology & Translational Science in Fall 2015 and they are loving it. Really exciting new program that is quickly launching and will no doubt produce some great work and doctorates. Edited January 22, 2016 by etherealhav0c

Expand Hi EpiGirl2016, can you please let me know - when did you interview with them? I haven't heard anything from this program yet! I didnt know they already accepted people

I submitted my application pretty early (mid November) so that might have something to do with why I heard back so early. I didn't hear anything from them between when I applied when when they accepted me.

I hope to hear your results! @calilife - What program at OSU did you apply to? I was THIS CLOSE to applying, but the awesome professor (Joseph Catania) and his wife (Peggy Dolcini) are doing more of their research in translation science, which is fascinating, but not quite the direction I'd like to take my studies! Have you visited? What do you think? My application is in the arms of Indiana University. From what I can gather on history, it looks like they announce sometime in Feb (late Feb I think) and announce funding in March. Expand I applied to health promotion and health behavior. I have not visited but I plan to if accepted. Should find out admission decision in late January-mid February.
storm_jonas Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Hi all I just had an interview with University of Washington recently and I'll be going to the University of Michigan Doctoral Day next week. My interviewer at Washington didn't match well with my interests so I'm not sure why we were paired for the interview. I haven't heard anything about next steps yet but I guess i can hope.Applied: Hopkins Epi PhD, Hopkins IH GDEC PhD, Harvard Pop. Health Science PhD (Epi), Yale Microbial Epidemiology PhD, U of Michigan Epi PhD, U of Washington Global Health Metrics PhD
Chalice_As Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Congratulations on the interviews and acceptances people! I have applied to PhD programs in Environmental Health Sciences departments (toxicology) at: 1) NYU 2) Boston University 3) Emory: invited to interview 4) U of Washington: Invited to interview 5) UC Berkeley 6) UCLA 7) Harvard (Biological Sciences in Public health) I am waiting to hear back from most. Admission coordinators at UC Berkeley and BU said interviews are not a necessary part of the process and they will release decisions by feb - mid march. I have lost hope for Harvard, I think most interview invitations have been sent out (based on history)- oh well, it was a long shot. Edited January 22, 2016 by v_kalia
TonyaB Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Someone put up they had got an invite for an interview at NYU for their public health PhD. That makes me nervous. I applied there too for a PhD. I wonder what department they selected. This is so nerve wrecking.

Chalice_As Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Hey! I applied to the Environmental and Occupational Health Department, PhD in toxicology specifically. They sent me an email last evening about the interview. I guess the Global health department might still be deliberating.

I emailed NYU about the interview being a requirement and GES said they didn't know. I applied to the Environmental Health Department which is in their School of Medicine, so the process might be different from the Public Health school.

I'm not sure, but I spoke with my friend who applied for the Fall 2015 cycle and was accepted into Harvard's SD in Epidemiology and he said that he got an interview. I honestly have no idea though, it could be candidate specific. Expand No, the FAQ was specifically about the PhD program - so no interview

chef-web Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi, I was the one who posted about the NYU interview. I applied to the College of Global Public Health. FYI interviews for the PhD in Public Health across different tracks at Yale have gone out as well.

AlphacentauriC Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I see some activity here. Happy for you guys that got interview invites, admits! That is how you start a sweet year!
chef-web Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 The PhD programs in Biostats, Epi, and Health Behavior at USC (Southern California) just concluded their first day of interviewing applicants. Second day will be February 9. I believe each program invited 2-5 candidates out for each day.
