What track of PHS did you apply to? Social & Behavioral Sciences, you?

I know you weren't asking me, but I also applied to SBS at Harvard and haven't heard anything. I know some folks got interviews, but I'm not sure what that means for those of us who didn't.

Had two interviews last week, but haven't heard anything since. They did confirm for me that they created a shortlist for interviews, but Nutrition might operate entirely differently from SBS and GH so don't let that crush your hopes.

I applied for the PhD in Epi at Columbia and I haven't received any email. I did express interest in financial aid as a part of the SOPHAS application and wrote the 250 word scholarship addendum.

Hmmm, I can't remember if I completed that addendum....but the financial aid e-mail basically asked me to complete this survey with a series of questions that said it would help them with financial aid 'upon your admittance...' but other than that Columbia has been radio silent..

SocialPubHealth Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 From Harvard GSAS: Applications are presently under review. You will be notified by email when a decision has been made on your application. Decisions will be available to view by logging into your application using your login and password. All decisions will be made by early March. Not all departments in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offer interviews. If your department offers guidance about interviews it will be included on the Programs of Study page for that program: https://gsas.harvard.edu/programs-study/degree-programs T7879 1

Thanks. No. I read their handbook for prospective students, which says interviews will be held from January to March. I told this to the program advisor, but he just confirmed that THERE IS NO INTERVIEW THIS YEAR - without any further explanation. Did you apply to any other health policy programs?
bellson Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 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
