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.

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
