I got an interview request from Columbia today. I applied to their Epidemiology program. Thanks to everyone providing updates, I've been following this thread religiously  

Congratulations! What other programs did you apply to? What are your interests?

For NYU is it the one-on-one interviews or the whole 9 yards? (e.g. the group interviews and so forth)

They haven't sent out a schedule for the day but it's 8-4 so probably a bit of everything 

[policy2017]

Can you guys who have interviews post them in the results page so it's searchable for others please? Or at least say what concentration? I'm super happy for you but I wanna know if I should be worried too, lol

Do you guys think that more people applied this year that in past years? I'm seeing applications per program in the 100+ range.

Has anyone applied to Oregon State University, Rutgers, UConn, or Colorado this cycle?

I applied to Oregon State for PhD in global health. Apparently it's new, so any insight/info would help from others.

Is anyone else going a little bit crazy? I haven't heard back from any of the schools I applied to and I'm steadily losing my mind. Please tell me I'm not alone.

[light10491]

Do all decisions come via email? Or do you have to check portals too?

They can't possibly expect you to check the portal for your decision right? ... Maybe an email to check your portal.
