I emailed them about this & they said UCLA doesn't send those out until you commit to attend. Scholarships have all been distributed by now, though.
Wait, really? Someone asked about this at the Admitted Students Day and the answer was that students can anticipate seeing their estimated financial package before April 15. It would be important to most of us to be able to see any need-based aid, loans, scholarships, etc., before committing.

Congrats on making the decision. Did you receive any financial information from them? I'm still waiting to make a decision myself. I emailed them earlier this week inquiring about financial aid package and I haven't received any information yet.
Omggggggggggggggg
Your ass is so rich. I pray everyday that I will be able to pull $100 million from my ass, but it keeps dissapointing me. Oh well
So did anyone get into Harvard but rejected to Columbia?
I wonder who has the richest ass on the thread. Maybe when I graduate from Columbia, my ass will give birth to a gold / diamond mine.
Toodles every
Application submitted: 1/23
Received on 1/28.
Good luck to those who are still waiting! Hang in there!

Anyone else very impressed with yale's HCM program? I thought admitted students day was very insightful.
Unfortunately no I haven't heard anything about financial aid packages, did you specifically apply for anything? I did my FAFSA about a month back

Yes waiting on them too. The person I e-mailed said they're trying to get most, if not all, the decisions made by this Friday. Their admitted student's day is this Thursday.

Yup, still waiting on them too. The person I e-mailed said they're trying to get most, if not all, the decisions made by this Friday. Their admitted student's day is this Thursday.
Admitted Students day is this Thursday for UIC?
Do they have any other days?? I'm not sure when they'll make a decision for me; admissions director said there's an interview component for HPA. My application was verified so late with SOPHAS :/ and UIC waited until it was verified to review my app
I'm not sure how much a ticket will cost to NYC even with 10+ days to go... It's going to be too $$ at this point.

Yes, the admitted students day is this Thursday. As far as I know, there are no other dates scheduled so far. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it up there for it, so hopefully somebody on here will attend and provide us with an update. I hope you hear something from them soon!
Hi everyone, has anyone been flagged by the financial aid officer for unusual enrollment resolution?
I was just wondering how long this process takes? Mine has been taking 3 weeks now and I am waiting to get my package.
I took prerequisites for my B.A. at 3 different colleges. Does this have anything to do with me having a graduate degree already and being in debt already? Or is it just the fact that I received pell grants at different schools to fulfill my B.A. ?
Thanks

:-///// I can (could) definitely make it! But lol I haven't been accepted yet it's been 2/3 weeks since they've said my application is complete and ready for review.
Could always go alone on a later day but that's no fun

I had the same thing on my financial aid at Temple University. I was told by their FA department that it was normal, at least at Temple. I did an AA at one college and took classes toward my BS at two others universities.
Hi, so they told me I have to show proof I recieved credit at schools while getting Fin aid & that I never withdrew, which I havent
It's freaky though
Just received an email from the student services manager at UNC for the MPH-RD (nutrition) program at Gillings....WAITLISTED. They adhere to a policy of not disclosing waitlist rank.
They are requesting that admitted students make their decisions sooner rather than later but they may not be able to offer a final decision until April 15th.
patience is a virtue...
I just found this thread for better or for worse...but your situation sounds similar to mine. This is my second year applying to the UNC MPH/RD program and the second year in a row that I got waitlisted. Very frustrating! Any news?

Going on week 10 since my application to Texas A&M was considered complete. IDK what the hell is going on. Seriously getting worried.
I posted this on the money board but I thought I might post it here because I'd really like to hear what everyone has to say about this decision.
I am comparing 2 schools, and this is what I've put together. I'm posting all of this to maybe help with someone else who is trying to parse this out, but of course input is welcome.
1. Cost of Living in ATL is 17% greater than STL. Also, in their calculation of need Emory actually calculated LESS for living and transportation expenses. So, basically with the loans I'll be taking out, I'll have a $10k greater "after tax" "salary" going to WashU than Emory (the money I'll be living on; obviously it's loans so it's the real #). That is a considerably different quality of life, but it is only for 2 years.
2. Surface level cost of Emory is about $40k more than WashU. IF, however, I end up in public service (which, with an MPH, that is almost always the case), I would qualify for ICR payments with the 10 year loan forgiveness. Based on these calculations and a projected salary of $50k, I'd actually only end up paying $10k more for Emory.
3. Another consideration is that while Emory has given me $2k in pretty much guaranteed income per semester through the REAL program (though not everyone in the REAL program even gets a job!), I've applied to 2 fellowships at WashU that would actually be $2800/semester AND another fellowship that could increase my funding by $20k if I am selected as 1 of the 4 recipients (not banking on the second one). The difference is that in the REAL program, I'll probably be working where I would want to work doing what I would want to do. The fellowships I applied to are close but not exact at WashU.
4. Total loans at WashU to cover tuition, fees, and CoL would be a little less than $60k. At Emory, right at $100k.
5. Employment data at both schools is pretty comparable at least at the surface level, with WashU beign a very slightly lower placement % but a slightly higher average salary. The difference is the extensive network of Emory, but I'm wondering if maybe WashU is being sold short. WashU has top programs in pretty much everything else, and their med school trumps Emory by far. While the public health network at Emory is undoubtedly much more extensive and impressive, the overall network at WashU could be even more so (though I haven't confirmed this, still waiting to visit). Basically, though, I doubt there would be much difference in salary, but maybe in opportunities.
My main question is this: How likely is it that public service loan forgiveness will still be around for 10 years?

It's really hard to say right now. I can't imagine the Dept of Ed just pulling the rug out from students, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the qualifications tighten up. i.e. 15 years of service, cap on forgiveness amount, etc. The amount forgiven right now isn't even taxable income.
I think the program is only ~4 years old, so the first qualifiers won't start popping up until the early 2020s. If there's a flood of people getting lots of $$$ forgiven, I'm sure something will change.
TL;DR - It will probably still be around, but maybe a slimmed down version.

Is anyone else terrified to make this decision? I'm so stressed out because I would love to choose Columbia, but can't decide if it's worth it to potentially have to be 100K in debt for an MPH in health policy + management.
Congrats!
Do you mind sharing when you applied? I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
