Hello to all,
I'm a current first year MPH student in the EHS department at Columbia. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I can't speak much to the HPM 16-month program, but if you have questions about NYC life, the core curriculum, EHS department, etc. feel free to PM me. I'll get back to you as I find time, but if you reply to me on this thread, I will most likely not see it.
Best of luck with decisions and everything.

Can anyone tell me a little about the admitted students day? I was unable to attend.
Also, is it possible to have a part-time job while at Columbia? I don't know how I'd swing it without a job.

I spoke to two students who had part-time jobs. They both said its impossible to have one for the first semester, but many students have them after that.

Thanks!
I am anxiously waiting to hear about a scholarship from Columbia. Didn't even have them on my radar, but a scholarship sure changes things... I hope they let me know soon... deposit deadlines are coming up fast! NO idea where I will be attending

Hey there,
I am an International Medical Graduate from Singapore. I was accepted in the Columbia Accelerated MPH, HPM Department. I am choosing between this and another program at my university. I already have an MD, the MPH will hopefully be a good plus. I have a couple of questions, I hope someone can help.
1. Anyone knows what is the official start date of the accelerated program? I emailed and called Columbia but have not had a clear answer. They said it's usually after the labor day.
2. Is anyone planning to apply to the Match while doing the Accelerated MPH? Q to any current students: do you know anyone how did it? There will be interviews to attend across the US (hopefully around 10!) between September and January. The residency programs start in mid-June 2014, students in my situation should be done with all requirements of their program by then.
See ya in Fall!

I received a phone call about a scholarship I was awarded yesterday although - it was a very specific scholarship based on my choice of certificate program.

the 2013-2014 academic calendar is here:
http://webdev.mailman.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/Academic Calendar F13Sp14Su14March27.pdf
i think this might be a tentative version at the moment, but based on trends from previous years, i think their official first day of class is always the day after labor day.

Ok So i am a little confused about the accelerated MPH...it says that you should have 5 yrs working experience or a degree in some parts of the website, but in other parts it says:
General Public Health is intended for candidates with health-related professional training or work experience. Either a higher-level degree, such as an MD, or at least two years of full-time, health-related work experience are required for admission.
I will have 2 years work experience-- is it worth applying? Also, can you apply to many different programs at the same school, can i apply to the regular MPH and the accelerated MPH if I am confused about eligability?
