I also received a SBS acceptance today! Congrats to all the acceptances and those waitlisted! 

I'm still waiting on word about funding from most places. Is this true for others? I personally won't have additional support and, other than additional jobs, won't be able to supplement money to fill in any gaps. It's going to boil down to if I can afford to living in the respective city with the money offered, and what continued funding is dependent upon.

I'm wondering the same!  If we didn't get in I wish they would just let us know, I keep holding out hope.

@ganhuahua welcome!  Can I ask which Harvard health policy track you applied to and when you heard back? 

I applied to management. I called them on Feb 6th and just asked if they made a decision. They said I probably wasn't accepted because they usually don't take people straight from undergrad. Oh well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one haha. Seeing that some people already heard back according to the results of this website freaked me out, but I guess they haven't notified everyone.

Also have heard nothing! Does anyone know if they interviewed in past years?

I live-chatted to an administrator a few months back about Columbia's SMS program and asked about the timeline for interviews.  They said that they don't interview, and that applicants are only contacted if the committee needs clarification about the application.  Then they proceeded to tell me that it was an extremely competitive program, and that it is possible to not hear from them at all and get an acceptance in March.  

This seems quite unbelievable to me (that they would give full funding to someone they haven't even spoken to), but i'm not a committee member.... either way, I'm not exactly holding my breath.  Hope this helps!

I agree with that...this waiting is painful! I don't even care about the outcome anymore, just want to know the decisions.

Would any accepted PhDs at Harvard SBS in PHS care to share their stats? Undergrad n Grad school name, GPAs, GRE, etc?

Top Undergrad, 3.9 GPA, no grad school, 1 published paper, good recommendations (not great); 164 (Q), 168 (V) 5 (W)
