Sorry I'm just trying to get familiar with the landscape. Is it (1) Harvard, (2) Hopkins, (3) WUSTL I will say: JHU, WUSTL, Harvard. (Not a HPM app though) I may just take it as a reference and pay extra consideration on mentor/research interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard from Harvard PHS SBS to set up an interview, and so my default is to think I am being rejected. Some do, but I don't think Harvard is one of them. I'm assuming the same.

We haven't sent out any decisions but expect to by the end of the month. Your application is currently under review. If you have any questions, please let me know." Received this morning. At least we know it won't be past this month... Edited February 6, 2018 by ceterisparibus9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat with Harvard (Epi track). I did get interviews at the other schools I applied to - so that's a relief - but the silent treatment doesn't help the anxiety. I guess a chance for the waitlist is better than nothing, but I wish programs would be a bit more transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't so I'm assuming they're just waiting until the end of the month to send my rejection notification.. bahhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told there were 70 applicants this year, with only 3 positions available due to the limited number of training grants in the department. Is this saying the Hopkins HSR track alone had 70 applicants, and they only offered 3 HSR spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 60-70 applicants to HSR, with 3 availabilities due to limited funding. Was told by adcom recently that there are 13 people waitlisted, with no formal "ranking" of those waitlisted.

I have my interview this afternoon and was wondering if you interviewed earlier this week or got accepted sans interview? I was wondering the exact same thing! I was originally scheduled to interview last Monday and it was canceled and rescheduled for this Friday so I was freaking out when I saw that. I applied to programs that all fell into the Health Behavior/Behavioral and Community Health-esque arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that it's not a bad sign for us. This was something isolate, and surprisingly early. When I applied for masters at JHU, they sent me a (positive) answer no sooner than April. I know departments are independent and can follow very different schedules, but I keep my faith! =) lws007168 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

light10491 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Compared to last week looks like we're hearing a lot fewer decisions this week, but it's a Thursday so maybe today or tomorrow.
