If you don't mind, could you state which programs you applied to, when your apps where turned in, and when and how you heard from the schools?

Sorry if that's a lot, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's curious to to know. ^^;;

Re: Michigan: Where on Wolverine access did you see that the response deadline was 3/1? Doesn't that seem super early?

On their financial aid website it said financial aid packages would be available after April 1.

 

[Music333]

Yes, I talked to Emory's financial aid department and they said April 1st is the earliest they'll announce funding. Scholarships will be announced in March.

Michigan--On the decision page, there's a "respond now" option. When you click on that, the deadline date is listed. I asked them about the 3/1 deadline. They said that the 3/1 deadline there was to encourage people to marticulate earlier; the actual deadline is April 15.

Thanks Music, for being so helpful!!! 🙂

 

[mph2010]

thanx forum members(emily, music) for being so helpful..
I am a international student so I am mainly concerned about merit scholarships..so when you say April 1st ..are you referring to FAFSA(Since I am a international student , FAFSA is not for me) or to FAFSA and merit scholarships both.
Till now , I had the notion that merit scholarships are handed out at the time of admission decisions. Am I correct ?

 

[premedw]

both scholarship deadlines are i think on the same day, to find out, go to www.fafsa.org or google fafsa deadlines..u shud be able to find everythign there!

gl!

for those of you who have been admitted to tulane:

how long did it take for a response? i applied over a month ago, and i haven't even received an 'application complete' e-mail. also, do they have phone interviews with all applicants before they admit them?

Tulane does not send an application complete email. You can call to check the status...the #is in the FAQ section of the admissions page. My app has been complete with them since 12/8 and I still haven't heard back. Don't know what dept you applied to but they didn't even start looking at most apps for community health until after the new year.

for those of you who have heard from yale, how long did it take for the decision to come from the time you received notice that they were reviewing the app? thanks!

 

[SW7]

Hello and congratulations to everyone who's received an offer!

I was beginning to get worried, not having heard from any of my choices. Now I'm very relieved and happy because I received a "congratulations" email from Yale!! I sent my application back in November.

Good luck to those of you who're still waiting!!!

Congrats. I am still waiting to hear back on Health Management, I guess it will be a while since everyone that is finding out, has had their app in over a month longer than I have.

Thanks Dak. BU: Complete 11/17, Accepted 12/26 via Mail.

 

[Laborer]

Surprised by a Yale acceptance today! Didn't get into my first choice of Global Health, instead got put into Social and Behavioral. Contacted through a deceivingly thin snail mail letter that made me think it was a rejection before opening it.

4/4 so far: Tulane, UIC, Texas, Yale
Waiting on: Emory, BU, U Mich, Berkeley

 

[kubajf]

Accepted @ Yale. I got an email confirming my materials were in 12/16 and accepted today 1/25

[policynut]

Accepted at Emory today! I got into the MSPH Health Policy Research program! I heard from my first choice school and first choice program first, kinda anticlimatic but I'm OK with it!

Accepted: Emory

Still Waiting: UMich, Pitt, GW, Boston, Tulane

I submitted on 12/8 to SOPHAS who mailed my app on 1/12 and Emory says they received my app on 1/20 and I was told today 1/25. Not a bad timeframe, and I may withdraw from GW's application now...

 

[Kibster]

Got my first MHA rejection today. Yale said "no thanks."

Oh well, still waiting to hear back from an interview at North Carolina. Also, interview at Michigan in a couple of weeks and already been accepted into Cornell.

Still waiting: Harvard, Michigan, Berkeley

Also got accepted to SUNY Albany. No email or anything but I checked SOPHAS which said I was accepted 1/25/10.

 

[UniqueStylez]

Unique, what concentration did you apply to at Tulane?

I applied to the Community Health Sciences Department. I never received a email or anything about my application. I called to inquire about it and they told me over the phone I was accepted. Still waiting on my acceptance package though....

 

[CaitieDid]

Applied to:
Emory
Tulane
UNC
University of Michigan
Yale

I submitted to SOPHAS on Dec 15. Application was verified on Jan 22. Mailed on Jan 25. Haven't heard from anything yet. No idea when I will.

3.58 GPA
570 V
670 Q
4.5 W

One year in Americorps at a free health clinic.
One summer in Ethiopia doing a photographic documentary project on the health care system and two trips to Cuba with a medical group.


Starting to feel like my applications are in a little late in the game and that my stats aren't quite as high as they should be but I guess we'll see in the coming month or so if I get in anywhere. If it comes down to Emory or Tulane I have no idea where I'll go. Not really banking on getting into UNC but it would be nice.

 

[utph]

Did anyone accepted into Yale receive an email from a student in your chosen dept. offering to answer any questions? Just curious...

 

[djtiesto14]

Yup.

 

[knitPHgurl]

Yup.

what dept/degree did you apply for?

 

[citrusguy2010]

should i be worried that i haven't heard anything from yale or GWU yet? or does mail take longer to get to the west coast from the east coast...

Citrusguy, When did GWU receive your complete application?

 

[citrusguy2010]

GWU - 12/4 Emily (the adcom) told me she would forward my application for review the following Monday (so like 12/6?)

Yale - 12/8 a revised SOPHAS was sent to yale and I'm assuming my GRE scores were available then as well.

On another note, anyone hear from SDSU? Thanks!

 

[JMM051]

Citrus, if you are epi, Music333 posted somewhere on here that she heard GWUs decisions would be out Feb 15

I got one last night for the EHS department. I responded and received a reply with a couple very helpful answers. So friendly! Really speaks to the personal nature of their program. 🙂

There's only around 11 of us, so yeah, it's definitely pretty personal 🙂 (that doesn't include the 3 current PhD students).

 

[MorehouseMan327]

Has anyone been rejected from Emory??

 

[JMM051]

I'm sure there have been a few, just not wanting to post it.
