I got an email, it hasn't been updated yet on my UM Friend Account.

 

[fall2012]

I got an email, it hasn't been updated yet on my UM Friend Account.

Thank epiwin for the info.. SOPHAS mailed it on 11/14 and still no response. when was your application sent from SOPHAS?

 

[DrRayden]

Yep! I'm in at Emory's Global health department. Just Checked OPUS.

Let's ride kaa.👍 I applied for Reproductive health and Population studies concentration. How about you?

Go Emory!

 

[HSUReddie]

Stats (although they're on this forum somewhere...)

GRE: 150 V and a 153 Q. (Too much time studying for the MCAT?? I'm full of excuses...) 😛
Major: Biology / Minor: Chemistry
GPA: 3.83


I was honestly kind of sweating because I know my GRE isn't great.

I checked Emory (MPH Global Health) today - rejected. But less than an hour later, I checked my email - Tulane MSPH in Parasitology and Tropical Medicine - accepted!! 😀 I never expected them to come the same day, but I'm sure glad they did. I interviewed for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences too and should hear back by February. I feel really good about it. Tulane and UAMS were really my preferences so it looks like I'll have a decision to make.

Applied: UAMS, Tulane, Emory
Accepted: Tulane
Rejected: Emory

hello Epiwin and porcupine... congrats on ur UMich admits.. How did you get to know about admit? was it a mail or updated online?

The Department of Epidemiology sent me an email telling me that I was recommended for the admission and I would receive an official email from the School of Public Health soon. That official email came one day later, with details of the deadline to send financial form, etc.

UMich works very fast...I submitted my application to UMich through SOPHAS just before Christmas.

Good luck to everyone =)

[spring6723]

Y'all - I feel like you are the best to share this with: I had a dream last night about grad school applications that was so crazy. The best part was when I got a rejection from UNC, which included a hand-written note from a professor stating my essay "seemed like it was written by a 5 year old".

Oh lord. The best part about this was that I wasn't even stressing about this yesterday! Here's hoping for a quick January with lots of decisions... hahaha.

 

[spring6723]

well it looks like my crazy dreams meant something - I just got accepted to Hopkins!!!!!

They only updated my online app, no email/mail yet, but HOLY CRAP!

For info: I submitted my app online on 11/30/11 and heard this morning.

YAYYYY I have life options now! One down, one to go!

No worries. I submitted to several schools in November but haven't heard from them so far while some students have received admission from these schools. Don't be worried, just let the adcom do their job and we are better off focusing on other things (for me, my coming D.I.Y wedding ^^)

For Health Behavior/Health Sciences -

I wrote Berkeley a while back and they said,".As for admissions decisions, we hope to begin sending notification early March."

For UW - COPHP program ".Although I can't give you a firm deadline, I think you can anticipate news in mid-February"

I haven't heard back from Yale yet... When did you get the admission decision?
I was accepted to Emory!! I saw the decision on OPUS, but I did not get an email from them. Did you get the acceptance email from Emory?

 

[str8fromcollege]

I found out from Yale this past Thursday via E-mail. I have not received anything from Emory- just the update from Opus. Congrats! 🙂

 

[Bos1950]

Str8fromcollege- Congrats!!! How long after you received an email from Yale that your application was "Complete" did you get your decision?

Congratulation on your admission to UMinn. When did you apply and get the result? I also applied to UMinn but haven't heard from them yet. I am wondering if they would also notify students of the rejections or they would just ignore...

I also apply to UW. Let cross our fingers for good news =)

Congrats! I just logged onto my OPUS and they don't have a decision letter for me. However, there are two new "To-Do" things on my screen, one of them being "Enrollment Deposit" the other "Enrollment Decision Form." To the people admitted to Emory, did you have similar To-Do tasks?

 

[j12345]

YUP! If you have the 2 enrollment "to-do" in your list then you're in!! Congrats!!!
