I think they meant from the time it was forwarded to the department, so whenever you application was 100% complete. GRE scores, transcripts, LOR, can hold up the application, but I wouldn't worry! I'm sure they pick up steam towards the spring and will get to yours faster than 10 weeks 🙂
Accepted, Fall 2011!!!

Just got a Fedex shipment notification that something is coming to be from Emory and RSPH, haha, I guess that means that 7 weeks after hearing my acceptance that they have mailed out the acceptance package!
Anyhoo, I know some people were still waiting on those from Emory, looks like they are coming out now.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I got my first rejection today. I thought I would be really upset, but I'm actually not because it was my last choice out of the schools I applied to. I am a little nervous that this trend might continue though.....

Hey guys, congrats to everyone on their acceptances! I submitted my whole applications to Yale on the 7th of November, 2010 and still haven't heard from them.
first choice was Epidemiology of microbial diseases and second choice was Epidemiology of chronic diseases. Does any one have any ideas?
I plan calling them tomorrow..
Secondly, I applied to JHU MPH program submitted my applications on 1st of Dec, its already past 40days (which is the average time for responses) still not heard anything yet.....😕
Please I need comments.

Epi2013: Sorry to hear that... but it sounds like you have some great options already! I'm just wondering, did you receive your rejection from Yale via snail mail or email?
Hi, thanks for your suggestion, I'll try.
Well, got acceptance to Tulane around 6-7w after sophas mailed my application. To UT, around 3w after complete my application (sophas mailed at the same time with Tulane, but school officer asked me to complete a school's form that I forgot)

Just to clarify, to which degrees did you apply at UMN? When were you complete and when were you notified of your acceptance at the U?

Just got an email from Yale- no go 🙁. Oh well.
So as of now:
Applied: UWash, Emory, JHU, BU, Harvard, Yale, UPitt, UCLA, Berkeley, UNC
Accepted: UPitt
Rejected: Yale
I'm not sure if being rejected in general is more upsetting or being rejected specifically from Yale. It wasn't in my top choices, so I'm going with rejection in general.
The Yale rejections are making me nervous. I feel like if I was going to be accepted I would have heard by now, and it is bugging me that I have not. This is one I am especially anxious about and that I haven't heard yet is making me nervous....

Thanks man! I can see streams of rejection from Yale on this thread! Anyway, we will wait and be optimistic. I got accepted to Emory, Global Health Department. I am sure by the end of next month I'll know definitively which school I am choosing. Emory is top on my list thought! lets keep our fingers crossed, all the best to you too!

You already got into Hopkins. Do not stress over YSPH. Is Harvard your first choice. You will be fine. Yale must be looking for certain types of students, not your typical successful public health candidate.

Hi Rampa,
Don't despair, you MUST have acceptancES. I also applied to Yale earlier than you did, but still haven't heard from them. I completed my application 7th Nov. Well, I don't know what to do, seems most people have heard from them. Please I am curious what department did you apply for? and did they give you reason for rejection?
Thanks

I applied to the MPH in Health Management program.
This is all that my decision letter stated, non-specific mostly.
"Your application for admission to the Master of Public Health program at Yale University has been reviewed. We regret to inform you that you were not accepted to our program.
Each applicants file is reviewed thoroughly and given careful and fair consideration before a decision is determined. We received a number of competitive applications for the class. However, the School of Public Health is very small and therefore admission to the program is extremely selective."
Good luck and I hope you hear back sooner rather than later.
Any news on UT-Houston yet...anybody????the wait is really killing me.........................😡
I was recently rejected by UT-H (on Sophas), as well as by Yale (e-mail).
Meh.

Is anyone else getting notifications from Columbia saying that your application is 'incomplete' even though EVERYTHING IS THERE?
I called the school and they said that there must be some weird glitch because they don't know why that's happening. I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this same glitch...
The same thing is happening with my application for UT Health. Oh mah gawwwddd.

I got the same email and replied to it with a screenshot especially because my application is COMPLETE. Good thing it's only a glitch. Columbia was the only school I had issues with on receiving my documents.

I just got off the phone with Columbia and I was told that they're just sending mass emails to everyone, just in case. It was a glitch before and now it's just them trying to remind anyone who might have slipped through the cracks, I suppose.
Still, it's very annoying -_-
Based on their teleconference, Yale began sending out decision in December. Soooo...presumably, there hasn't been too much on SDN, but this will pick up. The lady I spoke to over the phone said that the majority of apps get reviewed in January and that they try to have apps reviewed w/ in 4 weeks. But I know, for some folks here, they had their apps submitted since Nov or even earlier and still haven't heard. Adcoms move notoriously slow, ain't too much you can do about it.

Should I be concerned that I didn't get the aforementioned email from Columbia? I made them change my status to complete on the deadline so it has said that for awhile now, but if they sent it to everyone and I didn't get it, that might be a problem.

I didn't receive it either. The email probably was an automatically generated email to those whose status was "incomplete." I'm not worried too much about it.

I didn't receive the email either, but I did call Columbia today to ask about my missing transcripts; the woman checked the system and said they had received everything (3 weeks ago), but the system wasn't updated yet. I wouldn't worry about it...
