Not initially but phone conversations were with faculty. Sorry for the delay!

It does seem as if it is relatively standard now - and that it's a relatively long "short list." Do you happen to know ~ people are admitted? I'm guessing since I didn't receive an interview invite that I did not move forward.

Maybe it's also possible that interviews are only to seek clarifications on parts of your application, and thus not everybody would have to do one? So you may still be under consideration. I wouldn't rule anything out until you officially hear back. Maybe email them and ask? Hopeful17 and NutriG 2
NutriG Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 @epiforme do you know someone who got already interviewed for nutrition PHS ?

Does no interview mean that we didn't move to the next phase of the admission process? Hoping someone has the answer!

How about you? It looks like at least one person heard back from UNC (posted in results today). I applied to only 2 other schools! It seems like UNC may stagger their acceptances somewhat based on previous years.

light10491 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Hopefully the decisions come out soon! It's been a while since December 1.

tyler2 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Hey guys, just a follow up from my question yesterday regarding interviews for Harvard's PHS program (epi stream) - I got a skype interview request today from the program. The email suggests that there is a short (not sure how short) list and that they are in fact interviewing those candidates. It seems like emails have been going out over the past few days and may continue to go out so I wouldn't be pessimistic just yet if you haven't heard anything. KAR30 1

T7879 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Just got an email from UW saying that there were unexpected delays in the decision-making process and that they intend to send the notification emails this week for epidemiology.
HB6 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Hi all! Has anyone heard from Boston University re their prospective PhD students day? I had a phone interview for the Health Services Research program on January 13 and haven't heard anything yet...
