Default JHU decision today & GW scholarship info


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Just got an acceptance from Johns Hopkins for ScM Biostats program! I submitted in October so it was a looong wait.

Heard back from GW about scholarships yesterday - I did not get one, so if you haven't heard back that is probably a good sign.

Good luck everybody!

Applied: JHU, GW, U Maryland, Georgetown
Accepted: JHU, GW, U Maryland, Georgetown

That's funny, I'm waiting for those two schools, too, but different concentrations. Maybe today's the day.

WHOA. WHOA. WHOAAAAAAA. I got accepted to UCLA on Wednesday and just got an email today saying I was selected for the DEAN'S LEADERSHIP GRANT AWARD for $10,000 x 2 years $20,000 total! WOOOOT MORE! I totally didn't expect that because when I called UCLA about a potential scholarship, they said I wouldn't get one because I didn't sign up for a fellowship.

So for, because of my GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon program.... I can attend UPitt, Drexel, and UMich for FREE! On top of getting a housing allowance that pays more than the cost of rent I'm just waiting for Yale/Columbia now. But out of Pitt/Drexel/Mich, UMich is my top choice

It looks like it costs roughly $64,400 for the program tuition and fees. You are too late to apply to most other schools.

That was almost incentive enough for me to apply to those schools! Unfortunately, benefits won't fully cover any of the schools I applied to, but Emory will be pretty close to covered!

I applied to NYU too for the same program, how/when did you hear back? I haven't heard anything back. From what I know, NYU's MPH program is relatively new but it is accredited. However, I do worry that since it is sort of new compared to the other established schools of public health, the alumni networks may not be as strong. Also, NYU is notorious for their pricey tuition. (I applied b/c I reside in the NYC area). But as for the strength of the program, I am clueless like you are so I can't comment. So maybe someone here can enlighten

Accepted : BU, Drexel, Michigan, GW, Yale, Emory, Pittsburg

Waiting : Columbia, USC, UTH and SLU

Now, the question is which program should i choose between Yale, Emory, Michigan and BU. Please add columbia also... I hope to receive an acceptance from them also...

I also want to know which of these have tie ups with medical schools? How are the research opportunities?
Hi, Congratulations to you! I am sorry I have a question to ask you. Emory school of public health admission office just forwarded my application to Epidemiology department. Do you know how long it takes for Emory Epidemiology department to review your applications? Thank you very much!

I received the same acceptance and award. I went to visit the school/sat in on a class and realized it wasn't for me. NYU is a good school, so I'd said it's definitely good offer. If possible, try to sit in on a class to see what you think.

For me, I realized I liked NYC to visit, but definitely not to live. To big, loud, dirty, and crowded for my tastes. The academic buildings just seemed old and run down on the inside to me. The professor also wasn't very engaging and was having trouble with simple technology, such as a power point.

Congrats, EpiWin! I checked my Hopkins Epi MHS status online and still nothing...

Not sure if that's good or bad. I applied in October and got the "application forwarded" postcard in early December. I did have an extra recommendation sent in later, so maybe that pushed me back to the bottom of the pile?

Either way, I think it's time to contact them again. My wife and I are getting restless and want to know if/where we'll be moving! I've had no success contacting the Epi admissions coordinator or whatever. Those of you who were successful in getting a status update from the Epi department - how did you do it??

So sorry to hear you are still waiting on BU! I heard from them (SBS) on Wednesday night via email, so you might be hearing from them soon? How long has it been? If it's been around 5 weeks, definitely shoot them an email stating you are anxiously awaiting their reply, that it's your top school, and if they need additional information you'd be happy to provide it, etc. That might help you out a bit....Good luck!!!

Thanks Kalla. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow so I'll wait until Monday/Tuesday before I send an email or make a call. How much was your merit award for? Hopefully we'll be in the same class! Congratulations.

BU didn't say how much the merit award was in the email they sent me - they only said "in the coming weeks" they will send me a full acceptance package with information on my merit award and other scholarship/financial opportunities. I've seen a range of 10-20k though for their merit awards, so any little bit helps! I've been under a bit of stress regarding my saved up grad school funds - hopefully I can stay above water while finishing my degree!

Applied: GW, UIC, BU, Columbia, Yale, UCLA, UCB, Irvine
Accepted: GW (3/2), UIC (3/2, informally), Columbia (3/3), Yale (2/18)
Waiting: UCLA, UCB, Irvine, BU

I received an email from BU yesterday saying that they want me to answer one more question before they make their decision.

Refer to this thread at http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=797974 - BU seems to be paranoid (or worried?) that some students are using them as a safety school, so receiving this email is fairly common.

Same here but my concentration will be in global health. I heard back from them yesterday evening. I'm so excited!

The Epidemiology Dept took one week to send me an official letter...

I submitted my SOPHAS app on 1/3, apps sent to schools on 1/25. Never received a confirmation from Columbia so I emailed them 2 weeks ago to confirm. They emailed me back within 2 days and confirmed they received my app and I finally got admitted yesterday. Best of luck!

I got my official acceptance letter from BU today ((first, can I just say WOW? what a nice, professional packet they have!)) I received a $15,000 merit award and a hand-written note from the Admissions department! Totally on Cloud Nine right now! Can't wait for Accepted Students' Day on April 6th!
