Just got an email saying I'm in at Yale!
Congratulations!
p.s. I'm Canadian so please pardon my ignorance - by Cal, do you mean UC Berkeley or another UC campus or a whole other school entirely?
Congratulations! Still waiting over here too, when did you submit everything?
Got news this week from Drexel and SLU - admitted to both! Epi programs in both of 'em. Heard from both via e-mail first, then got my admittance package in the mail from Drexel almost the next day.
Got a merit scholarship from Drexel too - haven't gotten my official admittance package from SLU yet though.
Stats:
GRE Take 1: 630V, 530Q, 4
GRE Take 2: 167V, 152Q, 4.5
GPA: 2.9
Undergrad major at UMinn in Individualized Studies (Public health, child psychology, and Asian languages and literature)
Experience: Almost a year studying to be a doula (labor assistant), a year as an EMT, and about a year's worth of experience as a research assistant, mostly psychology-related.
Still waiting on UMinn and UIC, but UIC's already out, I've decided. So 1 more school decision and I can make an actual choice!
Haven't visited the actual campus before, no, but I've been in the area quite a few times because that's where my boyfriend's from. Thinking about taking advantage of one of the visit days, if I can scrape together the money to do it. But then I want to visit Drexel too, and I've -never- been to Philadelphia...
Congratulations, snw730!
In at UNC!!!! MPH- Health Behavior Health Education!! Woke up to an email telling me to check my application status.
I am so unbelievably happy- it was my first choice!
I got an informal rejection from UNC (MPH in Maternal and Child Health) when I emailed to ask about scheduling an interview. Sad for the first response to be bad news . . .
Applied: BU, Tulane, UIC, UNC, USF, UW
Accepted: ?
Rejected: UNC
(3.25 GPA undergrad from top university, 3.8 GPA in M.S. in non-health field, 161/162/5.0 VQA; 7 years in nonprofit management; 1.5 in public health)
I don't have a lot of MCH experience, so I knew UNC was a stretch. I have higher hopes for other programs.Sorry to hear that. I'm shocked to be honest. I've read so many others with lower stats getting in.
Here's to hoping to better!
Hi, so nice to hear from someone who is in the same boat with me. I applied to the General Epi anyway. The coordinator informed me that all international students will be considered for the Dean's Award, which is full or partial tuition fee. There is only 1 award though. Other than that, external funding (where are you from? any funding from your country?) or GA/TA... =). I don't have a high hope for funding anyway haha
What did you ask the admissions office when you called Berkeley and found out about your acceptance?Ok, weeeeew,
I could feel the heat and sweat emanating from my body while the interview was on.
I just finished my interview with a faculty member from UNC MCH department.
He didn't sound so impressed (just assuming).
I seemed to have focused on just 2 of the numerous activities I have been engaged in.
Suddenly he also threw me off balance by asking me a question which was in my c.v but did a long while
Also, I just called UC Berkeley and I was told I was offered admission and would be hearing form the school of public health next week
EpiWin, Congrats!! Which program at Berkeley did you get in for? I'm still waiting to hear back...
Also, I called Michigan a few days ago, and the woman I spoke with said the HBHE dept. is behind schedule this year. She also mentioned that admissions decisions are released on Fridays, so for anyone else who is waiting to hear from UM, we can hold off until Fridays to freak out
Any news from HSPH?
