MPH Fall 2014: Applied, Accepted, Waitlisted, Rejected!

[slp2014]

Any news yet? I'm tempted to email again and ask the deadline for the first round of decisions. Any idea when that is?

EDIT: Just emailed Joanne, we should hear next week!

Thanks for the update, I've been getting antsy too! Unfortunately I also applied for internships through DICAS so it may be too late for me, though I'm not holding out much hope. Good luck!!

Hey all!
Columbia vs Michigan? Unfortunately, I couldn't attend Michigan's admit day two weeks ago and I never had the chance to visit, so it's a huge unknown for me right now. For those who went, and especially those who attend both Columbia as well, what were the vibes you got from the two? How should I approach finding housing for Michigan? Any insider's info?

I know there have been many posts regarding these two schools, but lately I haven't heard much about Michigan. For me, they are roughly the same costs. I am from New York, so going to Columbia would be easier for me, transportation-wise. However, I really want to consider Michigan. I did attend Columbia's visit day so if anyone wants to ask me anything about that, I would be more than happy to help as well!

I also got into Emory, but they aren't offering me that much money, so that makes things difficult. However, if someone is just deadset on Emory and know something that might sway me that direction, do not hesitate to let me know! Thanks again everyone!

Hi, all!

For those accepted to Tulane, Johns Hopkins and University of Southern California, do you mind sharing how long did it take to hear back from them after the application submission?

Thanks!

I can't speak for Michigan's or Columbia's program, though I can offer my opinion on Emory. What departments did you apply for at these school?

I did not get accepted and applied at the deadline for Hopkins, though it took a little over two months for me to get a decision. USC is not releasing decisions until May, though I believe if you call them and let them you need to know in advance because decision deadlines are coming up, that they'll expedite the process.

I applied to USC around late Feb/early Mar and was accepted yesterday to the biostats/epi track. I emailed them last Friday to see if it's possible to get a decision sooner and the lady was super helpful. Good luck!

Has anyone heard from LSHTM MPH program yet? My application was submitted and complete Feb 3rd.

 

[Banke]

HiHiii! I just got into USC's biostats/epi program!! OMG!! It's so surreal!! Did you accept their offer yet?

YAY!!! Congrats! Yes I did Did you? I'm soo excited to attend. Seems like their MPH program is great!

 

[Banke]

oh! That's smart.. I'm in the same boat too =/ I wonder if they'll do the same for me. Who did you email specifically..Valerie?

Yes Valarie I think KCC1223 may have done the same thing because they just got accepted too Let me know what Valarie says.

This is definitely true about USC. They're not letting people know until June but yes, if you call them and explain to them you need to know so you know whether or not you should accept another school's offer they'll let you know.

I'm considering applying to USC, though I have a question regarding opportunities available in Southern California for people interested in global health. I understand that the bulk of opportunities for global health are located in San Francisco and Seattle, because of Berkeley/Stanford and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and PATH.

If anyone could share some insight on research and work opportunities in Southern California, I would deeply appreciate it.

I'm doing BSHE at Emory, SMS at Columbia, and HPM at Michigan

USC also has a global health leadership track. Some students went to WHO for their practicum as well. Hope this limited response help a bit

For Johns Hopkins my application was sent for review on October 10, 2013. I heard back February 27, 2014. This is for the MHS degree program in epidemiology. MPH works differently and I believe is on a rolling basis.

Another poster, EpiGuy, applied as soon as applications opened in Nov/Dec for the MSc CID and didn't hear back until late March so I think we have a while yet and I don't think they're sticking to the 6-8 week window. I applied Feb 11 and haven't heard yet. Good luck!

 

[meeko218]

I was accepted a little over a week ago

Thanks! When did u submit your app?
Deadlines for US schools are April 15th.. So just trying to figure out an estimated time line

[slp2014]

CONGRATS!! Did you get an email from the grad school to check the website or directly from the department?

Thank you! I got an email to check my status on the applyourself website. The acceptance just says MPH nutrition but since my SOPHAS application was for the MPH-RD program I find that weird, but I guess it's just assumed.

oops it was just from the graduate school, does that make a difference?

Hello,
I actually heard from UCI in early March (March 4th) via email. They sent me an official letter a few days later. I would definitely check your email (like spam folders) or call just in case. Best wishes to you, though! I hope you get in!

Hey everyone!! Congrats on your acceptances and good luck on deciding! I was wondering if anyone knows is it possible to place a deposit at more than one school? I'm still deciding and don't know which program to choose.

 

[BPW1088]

Yes, you can. Hope this helps!
