Hey I also applied to these schools- have heard from UNC but not LSHTM or UMass (was kind of surprised that it's taking them so long). What program did you apply to?
HI!
UNC - MPH in epid
Umass- MS in epid
LSHTM - MS IN EPID

When did you hear from UNC? What programs did u apply to? I keep looking at my calendar and checking my emails. I just have to be patient.

I heard from UNC a few weeks ago but it was for the PhD in epi. I applied to the same programs as you for UMass and LSHTM. I was thinking of getting in touch with UMass today to see whats up...

Ok, nevermind about UMass- I logged on to their webpage and a decision had already been made (yesterday)
 
I've been accepted to both UW and JHSPH for MPH Epi. UW gives me a full scholarship + health insurance + travel (int'l student). JHSPH has only sent me an acceptance letter, nothing about scholarships.

Assuming that JHSPH gives me a scholarship, should I take it or just go to UW? I have excellent links with UW faculty. No links at all with JHSPH faculty. But JHSPH, as we all know, is the No. 1 school.... Ideas anyone?

Is UW Epi is giving you an actual scholarship or a research assistantship? I wasn't aware that they offer scholarships.

Go with UW in that case... no contest there. UW is a great school as is, and with a scholarship - its prestigious.
Where are you from?
I'm an international myself... I have no funding anywhere....

I wouldn't assume until you hear from them. You must have great credentials to have received such a generous offer from UW though, so I'm sure you are in the running! UW is a fantastic school so if you took the full ride from them, I'm sure you'd be happy too.
