Got an acceptance from UW!
I applied for an MPH in Epi! Good luck to you!What’s your dept?
Can I complain for a second... I just spent so long filling out that CSS financial aid profile that GW requires to give you aid and entered my parents info (when I'm financially independent adult). Just to find at the end the application that it costs $25. I'm sorry what? FAFSA is FREE why couldn't they just use that??
Congrats! Do you know if Icahn sends out info about merit scholarships with the acceptance or later?Two acceptance letters in 1 hour, Icahn MPH and UCLA MS in Epi, ”debates are coming”

So far I have just heard back from Emory and UNC (both acceptances!).
Congratulations!! When did you hear back from UNC/when were you verified/what department?
I got my acceptance to UNC this morning!
Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting on the rest of these verryyy sloowww program decisions!
I applied to EQUITY (housed under the Epi department) on 12/05.
I applied to EQUITY (housed under the Epi department) on 12/05.
I submitted my app on 11/30, verified 12/4!Congratulations!! When did you apply?
Thanks I talked to Katrien Mattis yesterday, and she told me that scholarships(5k-15k) will be released in March.
Anyone else still waiting on UNC or just me?
I think I'm going to attend (if they offer travel stipends. SF to ATL is not cheap lol) It's going to be March 28-29th I believe.Is anyone thinking about attending Emory's admitted students day? I know that they should be releasing info about the event in the coming weeks, but I was just wondering if anyone had any details about it in general, such as info from past years?
I was given a 19k scholarship... The program is definitely the most expensive on my list though, so even that doesn't bring the price down much. I emailed them and they extended my deadline to 3/1! So that's a relief.Whoa what a read. I had never heard of the program but that was a scaaathing review. Having lots of friends and family who went/go to NYU, I’ve heard frequently that the administration is terribly run and the price gouging is endless. To be fair to NYU, it is a fairly new program and they did respond to the post, they might be working to improve it.
A Feb 1 deadline seems really soon. Have they given you information about financial aid? I got an earlier deadline from CUNY and when I explained that I’m waiting to hear back from more schools, they extended it for me. It might be worth asking if you still want to consider the program

This is all really helpful! Thank you!also, travel funds are reimbursed a few weeks after the event! They’ll send you an email requesting copies of receipts and can either mail you a check or do direct deposit!

I'm coming from SoCal too!! I'm down for a meetupI am also planning on attending Visit Emory, I will be coming from southern California
I would be open to coordinating plans with everyone on here planning on attending to grab drinks/dinner for a more informal meet and greet!
I went last year and can confirm that they absolutely provide grants for travel, however, the max you can apply for is $250, but its better than nothing! Last years was amazing and I went both days.I’m definitely planning on going! I have a friend whose actually completing her first year and she sent me the itinerary from last years event. If it’s anything like last years it’ll be amazing. I tried to include a web link, but will also attach screenshots from my phone.

Also, from speaking with Kara Robinson at Emory, there should definitely be funds available although they’re based on a mini-app analyzing financial need and aren’t guaranteed. For Destination Public Health, my award covered about half my flight from LAX to ATL.
It also seems like they have student hosts for Thursday and Friday nights!
Has anyone committed to Emory? If so, thoughts on housing, living in ATL, etc.?

I committed to Emory last year and will be attending this fall and received a lot of insight into the cost of living in Atlanta.

I'm also down for hanging out if I decide to go to Visit Emory again (most likely will )!Would definitely be down to try and work something out! I really really enjoyed Rollins for Destination Public Health and could totally see myself there.
Thanks a bunch for posting this! Im still waiting to hear from a few schools but atm of the schools I have heard back from and most excited about Emory. Being a fellow Bruin I’m definitely attracted to the lower rents and costs of living I’ve heard from plenty of people that ATL offers! Westwood is killer ♀️
Just checked my Wolverine Access, was accepted to UMich's MPH-HMP!! No email yet...
