I have followed the Fall 2013 & Fall 2014 threads for MPH and they were not only helpful but super supportive! When I started to apply last year (I ended up withdrawing my applications because I realized I wanted to take a gap year after 17 years of going to school!) the community helped solidify each others strengths, answer FAQ and just support/encourage each other during the waiting game!
Now that I have decided to apply to graduate schools and another group of undergrads are starting their senior year, I felt it was imperative that we start this forum again. This time a little sooner (SOPHAS opens in 5 days!!!) to be there for each other as we take our GRE, fill out our SOPHAS, and get our applications together. This thread will help us create connections through the schools we apply to, celebrate each others acceptances, be there when one needs to vent about their rejections and support each other through the agony of being wait-listed.
Welcome to the Fall 2015 MPH application process & Let the games begin!
GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK!!
Note: I copy/pasted what is below from the @its_tay 's welcome letter from last year's thread who got it from @porkbunsrule. Thanks for being awesome y'all!!
This thread is to keep lively and healthy our obsessions, curiosities, and heightened but needless anxieties about our own wishes to save the world and our perceived expectations that others may be "better" at it. So, as is tradition:
Undergrad School:
Undergrad GPA:
Major/Minor:
GradGPA (if applicable):
Grad Studies (if applicable):
GRE (including date taken) or Other Test (if applicable):
Experience/Research (please, be brief):
***Please include the following whenever possible: specific concentration/track, dates, type of correspondence (phone, email, letter, etc.), scholarships/grants. Judging by last year's thread, yes we are this obsessive and neurotic.***
Applied:
Accepted:
Rejected:
Waitlisted:
***Finally, if you have accepted an offer and plan to matriculate to a particular school/program, I encourage you to start a thread (e.g., Johns Hopkins Fall 2014). Please avoid writing "Class of 2016" or the like. Some programs within a school are less (or more) than the traditional 2 years. So, to keep it open to everyone attending the same school, it may be best to label the thread based on when you are entering rather than the year you are graduating.***
**Since we are starting this thread a little sooner than usual you can fill out as much as you can and once you apply you can update your information. Feel free to post any questions you might have about the application process as they come because I'm sure a few people can answer those questions.**
