Congratulations! I was accepted to Community Health Sciences, however asked about a week ago to have my app routed to Epi, as well.
@doctorjonesofhampton and @solyluna415 I agree, it is probably the most affordable option for me as well! And yes, it was the Axelrod scholarship, and no, I did not apply to any other fellowships/scholarships! I'm definitely going to attend the Accepted Student's Day April 5th.
This is actually very helpful!!! I am definitely going to go visit! Thank you!
It was from the student coordinator for the division of epidemiology and bio-stats. They recommended admission, but my app is now being sent to the UIC office of admissions for final review of my credentials. So I'm not 100% in until I hear from them.
Woke up to some awesome scholarship packages from Johns Hopkins (!!!!!!!!) and George Washington University!
Best news so far!!

No, I was not notified earlier.
I applied 1/12, verified 1/17 and was accepted via email 1/22. I applied for Global Health- Epi! I hope you hear back soon!!
I haven't heard anything yet, has anyone else? I know that they do a few different rounds, but people on the forum last year didn't hear until the end of March in some cases. Fingers crossed it's sooner for everyone this year!
I applied January 1st and was accepted February 4th.

Congratsss! I think your GRE scores are outstanding—particularly for a community health program.
I'm also waiting for Berkeley's HSB and noticed that they started sending out decisions on the 13th.....so I've also been obsessively refreshing my portal and my email.
same! berkeley's hsb program is a lot smaller (i believe 20-30 people) so i'm preparing myself to wait a while to hear back, maybe when people start rejecting offers? lol who knows...
UMN is my first choice, because of affordability, alignment of research interests(Cardiovascular), blue political climate, and their Epi Dept excellent reputation.Nothing!
I think it might be a program that offers scholarships to those who are more likely to actually matriculate there. I have no ties to Minnesota, and perhaps they are reserving them for people who showed more interest in the program and area directly. I visited Pitt in the fall while in the area for work, and they basically told me that they try to only give their 50% scholarship to those who have shown great interest in the program.
I know they are also very community-oriented (the epi dept is in the same dept as community health), and while I wrote about my interest in health disparities in my personal statement, it was heavily oriented towards research/learning hard epi/biostats skills.
Fingers crossed for offers at other places.
Not on the topic of scholarships--are you intending to pursue steps/residency here in the US? I am friends with a lot of IMGs and it can be a tough path!
Nothing!

Dear Gopher
also refreshing my email every 10 seconds as the stress exacerbates :') #go #bears lmao
Yup still waiting on Columbia.Anyone else still waiting on UNC and Columbia?
Well, this is devastating news.
The CSS Profile is a hot mess and an atrocious way to determine student need. I have ZERO family contribution and had to hit up my father to fill out a separate app and pay an additional $25. After all of that, absolutely no confirmation by the school that it had been received. I have no confidence in this system to provide me with the aid I need to attend school.
I couldn't agree more! I was admitted back in November, and heard nothing regarding scholarships and need-based aid. After contacting the financial aid office, they informed me that I did not qualify for need-based aid since my "family contribution" was outside their range, despite clearly specifying that my family will NOT be contributing any finances toward my education....Throughout the long-winded Email chain, they did not answer my question as to define what they consider "need-based aid", and they brushed off the fact that I will have zero income as a full-time student, and not even close to the sustainable finances in my bank account to 1) Pay for over-priced Americanized private education and 2) Live in Washington D.C... I'm VERY frustrated at GW right now if you can't tell...
Totally with you here. Fin aid office hasn't responded to my emails on CSS in SIX WEEKS. So I have no way to know what the issue even is, or if they've even received my app! I can't believe you've paid $25 to be mislabeled as someone who can afford their ridiculous tuition. I wouldn't be surprised if i'm in the same boat.
