epi_08 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Have not heard from UNC for the PhD in epi, and have not heard from UW for the PhD in epi either.

So, I was curious to know if anyone had been contacted. I see - do you know if "no interview" essentially means you haven't moved forward, or if the interview is more for clarification or whittling down the list? I really couldn't find a lot about HSPH and I know things may be different since the format has recently changed.
joshre01 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Have not heard from UNC (waiting is SO painful!). I applied by the 12/15 deadline, when did you guys apply to the Epi program?
Equipoise17 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Based on last year posts, Harvard does conduct interviews. I haven't heard anything back. Has anyone received interview requests from Yale?
neuroticnancy Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I was asked for Skype interviews for Harvard's PhD Population Health Sciences (Social and Behavioral Sciences track). I also was asked to interview at Brown Epidemiology PhD (requested Wednesday) and Hopkins health Policy and Management PhD ( requested last week). Waiting to hear back from a couple more - good luck everyone! Andrew_Y 1
T7879 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I haven't heard anything from UW or UNC epi either - which is making me anxious considering we were supposed to hear about UW this week! Has anyone heard from Harvard Population Health Sciences (Global Health and Population) or Harvard Health Policy and Management (Decision Science)?
epiforme Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Jumping in to ask - has anybody heard anything about HSPH nutrition (PHS PhD) doing interviews?

pharmer Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I heard back from UCSF for the Epi and Translational Science program about interview. Still waiting for UW!

So maybe it's on a case by case basis.

policy2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 ... does anyone else find it difficult to remember what exactly the track you applied to was called for each different school? I should have chosen something like Epi, but instead my programs could be HPM OR Health Sciences OR Behavioral Health OR ... you get the picture.
stereopticons Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Got an email from VCU Public Health admissions and got really excited...nope, just confirming they received my application. Which I submitted two months ago. Argh.

I am curious as to when you applied, since they told me (applied 12/15) that apps won't even be looked at until this week! And what are your interests? I applied around 12/10 and was invited to their Doctoral student day in early Feb. I'm interested in infectious disease epi.

I thought there weren't any, so this is surprising. Super nervous. Best wishes!

I was told that they hope to make all decisions by early March, but I assume that's what they tell everybody regardless of when they actually make individual decisions. I hope anyway! What's your focus within Epi?

Chronic disease/social epi -- so far, I applied to 7 schools (UNC,Yale,Drexel,OSU,Maryland,USouthCarolina,Pittsburgh). 1 more to go (Colorado)! How about you?
Ravenclaw Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Anyone hear from Hopkins- Health, Behavior and Society?
tyler2 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Some people in SBS and nutrition streams have received interview invites. Has anyone applying to the Harvard PHS Epidemiology stream heard anything? Should we be expecting to hear about interviews (the website says that they do not conduct interviews)?
Pancakeeater Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Has anyone heard from NYU Public Health PhD or Columbia Mailman Epi? Urghhhhhh I'm so anxious.
Just_Bullshit Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I was asked for Skype interview for Harvard's epi track by a professor. So I guess the admission committee might not conduct interviews, but some professors would.
epiforme Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Re: Harvard PHS PhD, I heard from a current student I was connected with that this is the first year they are doing interviews?
