Frazier - how did you get notice of your scholarship? Have you already submitted FAFSA? If so, how long did it take for Michigan to notify you?
 
Frazier, do you mind sharing your stats?

And yeah, $18k per semester is brutal. If I don't get a scholarship from UMich, I'm not going.
 
Frazier said:
They called and emailed me.
No FAFSA yet.
I have been accepted for a couple weeks - they seem to keep sending me acceptance emails/letters anyways [and the most recent mentioned the scholarship].

Academic stats:
3.9 GPA +/- (.1)
1275 GRE +/- (25)
Graduated top 1% in the business college and first in respective major.

[...and a bunch of other stuff (EC,leadership,etc) I won't bore you with.]

How many acceptance emails/letters have you received? I've only gotten the acceptance email.
 
Texas wants a confirmation by Feb 10. I dunno what to do...can't decide that quickly. Haven't heard from any other uni so far (applied just within deadlines).
 
Concern, that is pretty ridiculous considering many applicants have not even gotten a bulk of their responses yet. I suggest contacting the school and asking for an extension.
 
Thanks JMM. I think I'll have to do that. Plus it'll be in bad taste to confirm and then not turn up...

My Houston deadline is also Feb 1 to respond. I tried calling for an extension, but they said they couldn't grant me one because of the scholarship. The thing is, you can still get in if you respond after Feb 1, but you will forfeit the scholarship.
 
Yeah, seems like that scholarship is offered as bait to commit. Tempting, but I'm looking for bigger fish
 
All scholarships are bait to get people to commit to their schools. That's the point...

It may not seem like much, but one point of the scholarship is to allow out-of-state residents to pay in-state tuition. This may be important to some people. Besides, the tuition is only ~$5k to begin with.

I got rejected this morning. You really don't know what admissions look for.

On the other hand, I was accepted to Michigan as well about 2 weeks ago. I applied to epi.

680 Q 340V
Double major in Immunology and Psychology
 
FINALLY (hehe...I'm just impatient) got my acceptance to the U of MN - Epi PhD program today on the application status website, wooo! It's the only place I applied. It was also the only place I applied for my MPH (I graduated in '09). 🙂

Good luck to you all!

Kibster - Can I ask when you submitted your application to UNC?

They invited me to interview on 3/15. I'm excited about seeing the campus, etc. but it seems sort of late and I'm afraid it means I'm not being considered for any of the merit scholarships. If that's the case, it may not make sense to for me (financially) to fly out there etc.

Congrats, chica. I'm impressed you only applied to one school! 😱 In comparison, I applied to 17 :laugh:
 
Thanks!

Stories - I had things set up pretty well before applying. I also have a son who is in 1st grade right now and would rather not move him (at least until the post-doc, haha). 🙂

You'll receive an email that states your application is under review and to give a minimum of 2 weeks.

When I checked my status today, it had changed from "Referred" to "Admitted"
 
my second acceptance: Emory.
No info on scholarship.
Still undecided. Waiting to hear from more unis.
 
Has anyone (besides Unique) heard from Tulane Community Health?
 
hey JMM051 I just got my accepted packet from Tulane in the mail today just to keep you updated.
 
my Hopkins app has been forwarded to the committee for review (who knows how long it'll take to hear back)... anyone want to offer up their opinion on Baltimore? I don't know much of anything about the city, aside from the somewhat scary crime statistics!
 
got accepted to Yale today..

acceptances till now
UT houston, emory, yale, U of MInnesota

waiting on
Hopkins, harvard, bekeley , michigan but most importantly funding..

If i don't get any funding I won't be able attend any university..don't have money..I am from a developing country and after my medical degree I could just make 3500$ in two years!!
Out of the above only UT houston seems close to my budget + loans
lets see what happens in this crucial 1-2 months phase..
 
hey congrats mph2010. Any idea when the Yale session begins?
 
Emory and Pittsburgh rejection! We're on a roll with rejection letters these last few days lol

If you applied to epi or biostats, you won't hear until after Feb. 15.

Ahhhh, I keep checking my email and cell phone for a UMich contact. I want a scholarship! :xf:

I applied to Health Policy and they told me 3 or 4 weeks and it will be 3 weeks officially on Wednesday but I'm just impatient lol

Congrats on Mich
 
Sorry to hear about that, djtiesto. You're bound to get a fat letter soon, though. Chin up!😀

🙂 It's great you're where you want to be! Only disadvantage of not applying to other schools is you can't use other schools' stipend offers to bargain how large your stipend is 😛 I would have considered Minny if they had more faculty I was interested in working with.

Traditional fall semester (day after labor day).
 
GW started to review my application on 1/12 and responded on 2/1. Pretty nice turnaround.
 
I got invited for an interview with the Health Management and Policy Program and at UMich on March 11th.
Does anyone know how long after the interview a decision on admission arrives?
I'm excited that they asked me to come visit but the potential timeframe they could be giving me to make a decision could be very short and/or in conflict with other schools...
 
just got admitted to JHSPH MPH..my number one choice..damn excited about it..!!!
@concern sorry i couldn't reply earlier about yale question but guess stories has already answered it.

Thanks!

I just got my rejection email from Yale for CDE. It ruined my 4/4 acceptance streak, but it's okay. I wouldn't have been able to afford Yale anyways.
 
for those who have heard from yale, is there anyone who has heard from the hpm concentration?
 
Waitlisted: BU-Maternal and Child Health

App sent by SOPHAS 12/17
E-mail from BU that it was being forwarded for review: 1/14
Decision: via postal dated 1/28

Two week turnaround.

Denied from BU via postal and received my UMinn reject via postal mail today. I'm planning to make a more comprehensive post later. Perhaps when there's a "Final Decision 2010 thread" floating around 🙂

Oh don't say that!! Are you still waiting to hear back?

You really never know, that's why I plan on making the comprehensive post. I knew coming into this that I need to apply far and wide and I've had positive results. I've gotten 3 out 5 so far and waiting to hear back from more. I just want to show everyone not to give up hope!!

yea, your idea is totally great. We learned so much from here over the past months, and it's time that we give back.

I've got some results, good and bad :laugh: Still waiting on Columbia and UCs.:xf:
