DrPHtobe Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Got my George Washington DrPH Global Health rejection . Had a couple of weeks to come to terms with it - as didn't have an interview, so figured I wasn't on the short list. Nice to know the outcome at least.... Only Hopkins to go! Another 3 weeks of waiting then....
Globalhealthgirl Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I also received a rejection from George Washington global health concentration. Wasn't too surprised since I was never contacted for an interview. Still waiting on Johns Hopkins, Boston University, and Harvard-thinking this is also a no as I have not been offered an interview.
boisdejasmin Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Still no word for me from GW's Health Behavior department, I need to hide my phone so I can stop checking my email every few minutes. emjayco 1
drphhopeful Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 for those that applied to USF...what does it say when you check your Graduate Application Status Check?
DrPH_WannaBe Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Just received my GW Health Behavior rejection...didn't get an interview, so I wasn't surprised by this.
emjayco Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I'm sorry to hear about the GWU rejections. Did anyone who interviewed hear anything back?

It looks like jr_tnd a few posts up had an interview and heard back about their rejection. Wondering if acceptances will take longer since they usually have the funding notifications with them. Also all the rejection notices so far were from global health.

I interviewed with the Health Policy program at the end of January. I hope what you say is the case and an offer and funding are forthcoming!
Globalhealthgirl Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Health policy may come later as it looks like Health Behavior people haven't heard anything yet either. Their admissions office told me at the beginning of this week that all doctoral applicants would be notified next week.

I get that there is a universal acceptance deadline of April 15, but why can't there be a universal notification deadline? And why can't that date be like 2 weeks ago... boisdejasmin 1

lincoln.hawks Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 New to this forum. Applied to Colorado School of Public Health's Community and Behavioral Health DrPH program. Had an interview 2 weeks ago. Waiting game right now. It's been the longest 2 weeks of my life. My understanding is that the decision letters will come out next week. Besides Emjayco, anyone else applying to this program? Fingers Crossed. Best of luck to all emjayco 1
Lrm72 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Hi all, I've been lurking in the background, enjoying hearing about everyone's acceptances and commiserating with the rejections. I love how supportive everyone has been of each other. Just wanted to provide an update that I received an acceptance to GW's DrPH in Health Behavior program. boisdejasmin, DrPHtobe, Eris2018 and 1 other 3 1
boisdejasmin Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Just got my notice of acceptance from GW's Health Behavior DrPH as well; I hope good news is coming to everyone else soon. drph_324 and emjayco 2
drph_324 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks to everyone on this forum! I was also just accepted to GW DrPH, for Global Health - boisdejasmin and lrm72, did you receive any info about scholarships? I'm assuming that no info means I didn't receive anything but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
Lrm72 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Congrats! I did not receive any information on funding - they just provided a link about who to talk to for financing. drph_324 1
emjayco Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @lincoln.hawks This waiting game is killing me. They said early March at the latest, but they were hoping this week. I'm hoping this means all my waiting will be done this week. Seems like it is such a small program not too many applied? Or they just don't obsess over access this website? @Lrm72@boisdejasmin@drph_324 My DrPH Health Behavior acceptance email said the same thing about who to contact about financing but the attached 'official letter' said: "Additionally, I am pleased to inform you that you have been recommended as a candidate for a Graduate Assistantship. Details about the assistantship opportunity will follow in an official letter." Sure would be nice to know what that means...or when the official letter mentioned in my official letter will come Congrats all! drph_324 1
DraPHt2016 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @Lrm72 @drph_324 @emjayco @boisdejasmin congrats on your acceptances! I was admitted to GW's Health Policy program today but no word on funding. ? If you dont mind my asking, how does everyone (except @emjayco) plan on financing their degree if they accept the offer? I thought some type of assistance would be offered (at least thats what I got from my interview). I cant fathom taking out any more student loans on top of what I have. Ughh!!

My letter says "we are in the process of identifying funding opportunities for which you might be a good fit. The Program Director will be reaching out to you soon to discuss some possible outcomes". I am a little surprised at this since my interview focused a fair amount on my experience teaching, so I was expecting to get plugged into a TA position first. Guess I'm just going to have to wait and see what they have waiting for me Edited February 28, 2018 by boisdejasmin
Lrm72 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I'm planning to attend only part-time and they warned that it was unlikely I'd receive funding in that case. I'm working with my employer to see if they can pony up some money to help pay for it. Whether I attend is totally dependent on that!

I was accepted to the GW DrPH Global Health as well...didnt see any info about scholarships besides the link most people got about who to reach out to about Financial Aid. They asked me about my TAing experience during undergrad and grad school, so I assumed that may have meant I'd be considered for Teaching Assistantships but there was no word on that in the official letter. drph_324 1

I know they are not located on the Medford campus, but if you have any questions I could potentially help with, let me know.

I actually did my MPH there so I’m thrilled to be going back and being a double-jumbo!
