I know there was debate earlier in the thread regarding whether or not doctoral students needed to apply. Did anyone figure that out? Some scholarships require it. And not to mention... If you've completed FAFSA in the recent years, in reality, it's not going to take that long to complete. So I would just do it. It's not going to do any harm imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbcup Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 18 hours ago, mph2015 said: What kind of updates? I haven't sent any myself but I've noticed for some of the schools that don't use SOPHAS, you can update some documents on the application status page. 3 hours ago, oncearunner said: I recently had an additional paper placed under review for peer-reviewed publication. I simply emailed the graduate admissions coordinator for the department with an email explaining the update. I attached a more formal letter to the committee stating the update (in my case, paper title, journal, etc) and also attached an updated version of my CV. All of the individuals who I emailed were prompt in response and were able to add the updated information to my application package. It was very simple and none of the admissions coordinators seemed to mind. I hope this helps. Thanks guys! This is actually an update for an oral presentation, and given that I don't have an extensive publication history I thought it would be a little helpful. I haven't seen a lot of the portal being able to add additional documents, but I will definitely send an email. This is super helpful, thanks.

However, they can be helpful to the admissions committee if you're in the area" (http://sph.unc.edu/application-steps/?program=epid-phd-r). I think the faculty that read your application can also reach out to you, but I'm pretty sure they only have an admitted student day and not an interview day (unless you set up a visit with them).

I feel like they should tell us sooner. For a lot of us, it's a big deal and relocating isnt exactly easy. Specially when it's for the next 3-5 years.

Hi, I also applied to Michigan HSOP program. On the website(https://sph.umich.edu/hmp/programs/phd.html), they said, "Admitted applicants are typically notified about their admission in February." And that is the case according to last few year's results. So maybe we could just keep waiting. Finger crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
