Sorry, the public health forum has been pretty slow since all the upheaval started.

Have you been able to connect with any other applicants?

Have you been able to connect with any current or previous EIS Fellows?

Hello! Haven't connected [emoji53] with any applications till today I believe
 
Good morning🙂 so there has been an update and I was emailed and this is what was said.

Dear Ryan Persaud,

Thank you for submitting an Epidemic Intelligence Service application. Your application is complete and eligible, and it will be reviewed. You will receive notification about virtual interviews (invited/not invited) by late October. Virtual interviews will take place in late October/early November.
 
We are writing to inform you that we will not be able to accept any applicants for the EIS class of 2026 who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. We hope to resume accepting international applicants for the EIS class of 2027.
 
Hmm haven't heard anything as of yet.. has anyone else heard anything? I think starting next week and moving forward maybe we will start hearing updates/ or getting invites.
 
There is also talk of a government shutdown but I dont know if that affects application reviews/invites? Idk ._.
 
Well I have been updated, and unfortunately I was not invited for an interview. But hopefully you all will receive great news!

Hey there - yes I received an invitation to interview on Wednesday (didn't last year for what it's worth). It can't be scheduled yet though due to the appropriations lapse. I can't find much about the interview structure anywhere but hopefully the Q&A (whenever they can actually have it) will help?
 
I have received an email, waitlisted. Does anyone know the likelihood of being accepted into the program after being waitlisted?
 
Congrats to all and see you at Q and A Monday!!

I think if you sign up for prematch from the wait-list and match with one it's an automatic acceptance. I'm sure they'll say more on this Monday. Otherwise chances this year *might* be better than previous years just because it seems like there's people who might not be as willing to take the risk of federal government at the moment, but this is totally conjecture.
