I did not see a 2022 PHAP thread, so I thought I would start one. Good luck to everyone that submitted an application!

Hello @ae127, I submitted my application for the 2022 cohort. Good luck to you as well!

The wait process is stressful.

Hi everyone, just found this thread and wanted to join in to see where you guys are at in the process. I was emailed and directed to choose an interview time

You were emailed already for interview time? It seems like of early for that. Did they send back information on the essay process yet?

It is!!

Ya, I wasn’t expecting anything this early. I was emailed the 2nd and was given a list of dates/times to choose an interview slot and needed to respond by morning of the 3rd. All times given were for next week.
They didn’t send anything specifically about the personal essay, but I submitted that on the 18th I think it was.

That’s interesting. On the timeline it’s states we won’t get emails for the personal statements to be filled out until about end of march/April

I’m applying for my first time. Graduated with my BS in 2020 and have had the opportunity to gain some work experience. My grades were not the best so I’m hoping my work experience helps me out!

They might be doing it in waves or something? I received an email to fill out personal statement Feb 14th, submitted on 18th.

Wow.congratulations. I contacted them in Friday and they told me that they are still reviewing applications and I should receive a respond between March and April.

 

[Katherine G]

For those that have been contacted did you recieve an email from USAGOV or the CDC?

Mine was from CDC

Good luck 2022 applicants! I'm part of the 2021 cohort. Currently, the program does not plan to interview a majority of applicants until April. For those who got early interviews, I believe this is a consequence that some 2020 cohort have decided to resign early and your application must have been really impressive!

 

[Stephania Casimir]

@keyofspace, thank you for sharing this crucial information with us. I thought they were not going to call me. Your message gives me hope.

Did you receive email to submit essay questions?

 

[Stephania Casimir]

No, I didn't receive one yet. But, I am optimistic that I will receive one soon.

 

[leahsimone]

No, I didn't receive one yet. But, I am optimistic that I will receive one soon.

I am too! For both of us.

 

[Stephania Casimir]

Good luck

Hello folks,
Have you people heard anything yet. I am so anxious. What about you?

Hello, I'm on the same boat as you. I haven't heard anything yet :/

 

[mmmvvv]

Hello, I'm on the same boat as you. I haven't heard anything yet :/

Same boat, it's been silent since I submitted my application. In the past two years, personal statement invitations were sent out on what would have been this past Friday. Let's hope we hear something soon..

Same for me as well, nothing. And yeah I would have thought we would have heard something on Friday. So let’s hope this week.

 

[Stephania Casimir]

We will hear from them this week for sure. Let's keep the positive mindset going.

 

[ae127]

Sending out those positive vibes. Good luck to each of us!

 

[CAphanatic]

I’m not sure exactly why I’m on an accelerated timeline, I’m a vet which may have something to do with it, but I already had my interview. Pretty sure I bombed it, rambled on about nonsense, etc. Hopefully my resume and personal statements were strong enough to overcome my poor interview. Good luck to everyone else, I’m sure the majority will start hearing soon.

 

[leahsimone]

Has anyone else heard anything back yet?

 

[ae127]

Has anyone else heard anything back yet?

Not yet, but I haven’t lost hope! According the the PHAP website the next phase happens in April. So maybe (fingers crossed) we’ll hear by the end of this week.

 

[InBrightestJay]

I just received an email about a personal statement! (Not getting my hopes up because that's how far I got last time BUT still). Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

 

[Stephania Casimir]

Congratulations

 

[CAphanatic]

I was matched but unfortunately the location doesn’t work for me and my family and I had to decline. Hoping to get a new assignment. I really want to be in the program.
Good luck to everyone writing personal statements and preparing for interviews.

 

[Stephania Casimir]

Who else has received an email to send a personal statement? I still haven't heard anything. I'm keeping my hope high.

 

[Adora_o]

I got an email to send a personal statement on Wednesday. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Stephania Casimir]

I didn't get anything yet

 

[Amelia R]

Got the email about the personal statement on Wednesday as well! good luck to all

 

[leahsimone]

I didn't get anything yet

I haven’t gotten anything either. I know others who got it Wednesday. So I’m not sure. I’m still keeping hope, because my status still says the same on usajobs

[Stephania Casimir]

I am still waiting

 

[fkayoyo]

I still haven’t heard anything also !!

 

[Stephania Casimir]

Maybe next week we will hear something.

 

[ae127]

Has anyone reached out to the PHAP program to see where they are at in their process?

 

[Stephania Casimir]

I did and they told me to wait until next week to receive an email whether I was referred or not.
