Anyone out there for this year's application? EIS 2024 was not active, but maybe this year? I will be reapplying. Hope your applications are going well!

 

[lattemacchiato24]

I applied, first time. Good luck _tacocat_ and anyone else who submitted an application!

 

[Vee_Epi]

I have applied, this is also my first year. Good luck to everyone..

 

[Vee_Epi]

Has anyone heard when they will be announcing the interviews?

 

[epi-savi18]

Hi all! It’s my first time applying as well. I believe they sent out application eligibility verification emails earlier this month and stated we should hear back by late August about invites in September. Good luck to everyone this cycle!

 

[lattemacchiato24]

I heard mid to late August for interview notifications as well. And in a webinar earlier this year they shared a timeline that showed virtual interviews would occur September 6-13th.

 

[epi-savi18]

For anyone applying to the LLS program in addition to the EIS program, my friend who applied received an interview invite yesterday. She was notified by email. We both have not heard back from the EIS program. Hopefully mid August we will know soon enough!

What is the LLS program?

 

[epi-savi18]

The LLS program is a new program compared to the EIS program and is tailored more towards PhDs to continue epidemiology laboratory work with EIS officers. It is also a two year program with a month training session in Atlanta! CDC's Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS)

 

[Vee_Epi]

What are your backgrounds?

 

[lattemacchiato24]

What are your backgrounds?

RN w/MPH & public health work experience. What about you?
Has anyone's application portal changed?

 

[epi-savi18]

What are your backgrounds?

I am finishing up my PhD in immunology/infectious diseases. I saw a change in the portal from “New” to “initial review”. But that’s it. The anticipation is killing me. I hope we hear back tomorrow!

 

[Vee_Epi]

Hi, i am finishing my Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) in epidemiology; my background includes public health experience as well. Yes, my status changed to initial review also...hoping for an interview.

 

[epi-savi18]

Has anyone heard anything back today? No emails or changes to my portal yet!

 

[lattemacchiato24]

Nothing new here 😕

 

[Vee_Epi]

No change and no call.

 

[lattemacchiato24]

My processing status now says 'Secondary Review' -- not sure that is a good or bad thing.

 

[epi-savi18]

Mine is still at initial review, I’m suspecting this may mean I was not selected for interview. We will see soon!

 

[Vee_Epi]

Mine is still on initial review as well. But I’m not counting myself out just yet!!

 

[lattemacchiato24]

@epi-savi18 don't count yourself out yet, either!
I don't know what any of it means, and a former EISO I asked said she's never seen those status updates before. I've read past EIS threads here and thought for sure we'd find something out by now based on patterns from the past few years. Hope we all find out soon.

 

[epi-savi18]

Thanks for the support you guys! And yes I thought we would have known by now but hopefully will know soon!

 

[Vee_Epi]

Thanks for the support you guys! And yes I thought we would have known by now but hopefully will know soon!

We still have the rest of this week and next, based on posts from the past years it seems like the calls happen on Fridays and Mondays... Fingers crossed 🤞

 

[epi-savi18]

I just got an email and was not invited for an interview. All the best to those who are invited and proceed forward!

 

[lattemacchiato24]

Received an interview invite this morning.
@epi-savi18 , do you plan to re-apply? Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Congrats @lattemacchiato24 ! Yes I will really next year and hopefully make it to the second round! Thanks for your support 😊

 

[Vee_Epi]

I also didn’t receive an interview! But I will definitely be applying for the next cycle!

If you don’t mind, could we connect outside of the platform? I really want to pique your brain on your application process. I’m just wanting to see how I can improve for next cycle. If you do not feel comfortable doing so I completely understand.

Sure! I sent a pm.

 

[Vee_Epi]

Got it, than

Sure! I sent a pm.

Got it, thank you 🙂

 

[epi2025]

Hi everyone! New to the thread, for those who interviewed have you heard back yet?

 

[par3rish]

Hi everyone! New to the thread, for those who interviewed have you heard back yet?

Haven’t heard back! Though it might be today but I guess also Monday? Could you let us know when you do?

 

[gsa_nick]

Any update?

 

[epi2025]

No updates on my end! What about you all?

 

[epi2025]

It has to be soon though, since the welcome is 10/3.

 

[Onehealth2022]

I also interviewed and haven't heard back. Wondering if the storms/weather last week in Atlanta pushed back things. Waiting very impatiently lol. Last year I received an email rejection by 5pm on the last Friday of September

 

[epi2025]

Well we passed the last Friday of September so fingers crossed that is good news? Haha

 

[epi2025]

I feel like as long as we don’t receive an email that’s good news lol

 

[Onehealth2022]

Well we passed the last Friday of September so fingers crossed that is good news? Haha

I think they sent the emails out after all the phone calls were made for acceptances

 

[lattemacchiato24]

Nothing here yet :/

 

[epi2025]

Nothing here yet :/

Hopefully something soon[emoji17]

 

[gsa_nick]

Hopefully something soon[emoji17]

[par3rish]

Nothing on my end either

 

[epi2025]

Do you all think they’ve already contacted everyone? They said those accepted would get a link for [emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]]][emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]]]/[emoji[emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]]]][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]]]] I feel like that’s really close. Did they mention anything else in the leadership Q&A? I couldn’t make it

By October
EIS program notifies applicants of their status (accepted, wait-listed, or rejected).

 

[pinkylife]

I received a phone call this afternoon - so they have started to contact people!

Congrats!!
Did they happen to say whether all the calls for those accepted/waitlisted went out today?

 

[gsa_nick]

Congratulations!!!!

 

[pinkylife]

Unfortunately, I did not ask about the number of calls left. I received a call at 6:00 p.m. ET, so it would make sense for calls to continue tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for everyone!
