They're the only school I'm waiting to hear from. When I called and asked, they said I should hear "within two weeks, but sooner rather than later" and that was about two weeks ago. Letters went out yesterday. Have you heard back??

They may release results in mid-April due to funding issues with AHRQ. Just wondering if they emailed everyone, or only those potentially admitted/waitlisted. I received the email. Although federal funding doesn't apply to supporting international students like me, everyone is definitely affected by current climate. Minnesota is my first choice because it funds international students. Hope everything gets better soon. Best of luck to everyone!!

I didn't get the email, though I have already been admitted. From talking with them, they aren't sure what's going on with AHRQ funding but it sounds like they have a backup plan for those admitted so far. So maybe they're hoping to admit a few more if AHRQ comes through. Edited February 21, 2017 by thetemp
JHUHealthPublicPolicy Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I'm new to posting here, but I've been lurking. I was admitted last year to Johns Hopkins Health Policy and Management department in the health and public policy concentration and deferred my admission until this fall. I'm not sure if anyone else here applied specifically to that department, but I can tell you that this year you are being notified a lot later than last year. Last year, I got an email from the concentration director on Feb 1st and got my formal letter about 2 days later. This year, I'm still waiting to hear about funding for this fall, so I can tell you that the official letters haven't gone out yet as far as I know. But I'm not sure about the other concentrations.

Are you sure they've all been sent out? I don't see any acceptances on the results page, and was told last week from somebody at JHU that decisions are coming soon.

They're taking in a lot fewer folks this year than before, probably put a big chunk on waitlist until funding is more determined. There are 4 concentrations in the department. I saw some from health services and maybe bioethics? but not from health and public policy. As far as I know those haven't gone out yet, because they haven't decided the funding offers. I had to ask the office how it works since I won't be getting a normal admission letter since I deferred, and they said it would be similar but it wouldn't be until closer to the end of the month. Last year there were 12 people admitted across the department: 2 in bioethics, 2 in economics, 4 in health services, and 4 in health and public policy + 1 who deferred from the previous year, so 13 total. I don't know how many it will be total if they are admitting fewer and which concentrations will have fewer students or if it will be all.

Yeah, there are waitlists and rejections but no actual acceptances in HPM on the results page.
SocialPubHealth Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I was REALLY hoping to hear something today. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Waiting on 6 of 8 schools still... My two rejections both came on Wednesdays so I'm expecting something tomorrow... here we go again! good luck to everyone Ravenclaw and T7879 2

But I agree -- considering how few students they admit, I really have no idea what to expect. I'm trying to not have my hopes too high, since it is definitely my top choice. I also interviewed for mgmt. Maybe we'll be in the same cohort!
