I'm interested to know if anyone applied to NYU Steinhardt MPH?
I did. No response yet - sent 1/20 (late, i know, but before the deadline!)

It seems like no one applied to the NYU program...I'm surprised because I would have thought it would be a desireable program.
ps. I also applied at the last second to NYU but still before deadline and have not heard yet
Got a no this week from Columbia and Yale.
Anyone apply to Arizona?

Man, I have to admit that I'm a little peeved that I haven't heard from UNC yet.
I got my app in on December 13th. Two and a half months later and no decision yet?
Same boat here, wondering what's taking so long. This is my top choice program, too
Quick question - according to the HBHE home page, there's an "Applicant Info Day" on March 22nd. Do you suppose it is geared more for those of us in the current application cycle, or for those who may be interested in applying for admission next year?
Hey,
I got in to UNC for HBHE and going to the Applicant Info Day on March 22nd. I think it is open to prospective applicants, admitted applicants and people interested in applying next year. I know that admitted applicants are able to talk with two professors by appointment (this is what I was told when I signed up) and believe that prospective applicants are able to signed up to speak with one professor.
Hope this helps

Anyone apply to Arizona?
Just got an email acceptance from Berkeley into the Environmental Health Sciences MPH program!
Stats: 3.75 GPA from ivy, 680V700Q GRE

First off, congrats to all of you who've been accepted into your choice schools! From the looks of it, this is indeed a smart/experienced bunch!
I've asked some questions on this forum before, but I'm getting to be really antsy and well like most of you refreshing my email every 2 minutes, so i figure it's time to post...
stats:
recent grad, 3.1 gpa, 760math and 680verbal. public health undergrad, with some related internships.
accepted- UCLA (health services)
waitlisted - Columbia (health policy and management)
waiting - UNC, Yale, Berkeley, UMich (also hpm)
Any tips for getting accepted into Columbia off the waitlist?! I'd love to hear some suggestions.
Also...anyone interview for UNC's MPH program? I'd appreciate an idea of questions and how to prep for it.
Thanks!
Anyone apply to Arizona?
Ya know, after talking to you before, UniqueStylez, and seeing some other chatter here on these boards I'm wondering if UNC considers the people who have work experience and those who don't in like 2 different applicant pools. Someone posted that that seemed to be the case for the MHA program as well.
PHin2010, are you right from undergrad or coming from work experience?
Stylez, thanks for the info, that's really helpful!
Deem, I'm coming from work experience. Ooo, interesting idea about there possibly being two pools...
Gubbin, I applied to UofA for the DrPH. It's my top choice - I'm really interested in migration and CBPR, so Arizona is a perfect fit for me. I'm waiting patiently (well, not really) - I think we're expected to hear by next week?
I think you should have cast your nest wide. your gpa may be low, but then you were majoring in stats & econ. these are not your typical liberal arts majors, ya know. plus, your GRE scores are pretty solid (to me at least). and you have experience! anyway i don't know much about UW-madison, but i really hope it's a 'fit' for you.Accepted UW-Madison MS in Population Health with Epi Concentration.
Applied here because I did not think I had the stats to get into a big name program.
3.02 GPA (Statistics and Econ), 790q/620v/4.5, 1 year of epi related research.

Phone call (voicemail, actually) yesterday from UW (MS in Environmental Health). They're flying me out for an interview in March!! 😍
Do you think this is just a "is this guy too weird?" kind of interview and a courting/give the kid a chance to experience the department kind of thing? Or do you think this interview is a serious weed-out tool?
Uh, no! They really want you!![]()
They have no incentive to spend any money on someone they're unsure about when they can spend it on someone else that they're interested in- particularly since many of these departments are facing budget cuts. If they wanted to find out if you were weird, they could call you up on the phone or make you pay your way out to them.
Congrats! You're accepted already.
I applied for the same program, Varekai1018. You heard that they are sending decisions next week?? Did you apply to other DrPH programs?
I don't believe they hold interviews. I was under the impression that the info day in November was for prospective students and the one in March was for admitted students.

Hi All:
I have been trolling this site for weeks - maybe months - and finally started calling my schools to find any news. Heard from University of Washington I was accepted to the MPH Social and Behavioral Health department.
Stats: 3.78 top tier public university BA in Psych
-Experience teaching public heath there and two years experience at local NGO doing health ed (although mostly support and a little research)
- Research experience on thesis
- 600V/780Q/5 W
Accepted: UW
Waiting to hear: Harvard, Michigan, BU - all departments are social/behavioral
Anyone (who submitted an app before Jan 5) still not heard from Columbia?
More specifically, any news from Columbia's Urbanism and Built Environment Track? Sitting here, waiting, wishing...
I just got into Arizona for Epi. They want me to send them transcripts again in order to be officially accepted. Since Arizona isn't a top choice for me, I wonder if I should do it? But if I don't officially send in transcripts, I wouldn't know what financial aid I could have got....oh the decisions.
The University of Arizona employs a two step admissions process. We are notifying you that you have made it through the first step, which was to be selected for admission. The second step is for the College of Public Health to officially recommend you to the University of Arizona Graduate College for admission and for the Graduate College to approve our recommendation...

Just called Columbia in a panic since I hadn't head from them either. They said they haven't sent out all decisions yet, and will be finished sending everything out by mid-March.
So we still have time!
oh thanks for calling because I was about to give in and call them. It just sucks to see other tracks getting decisions and other tracks have their applicants pulling their hair out!
