Started by el.mo19
Awesome, thanks! I just didn't wanna rub anyone in my department the wrong way before classes even started (if I choose UNC)!

Just decided to check Harvard's portal... and rejected... a bit relieved that it's one less decision I need to make!
Good luck to everyone out there! 🙂

Also rejected from Harvard! Technically still waiting on UNC (seems late?) but Johns Hopkins was my first choice from the get-go.
Anyone else going to be in Baltimore next week?? Would love to meet up with people!

Also in the rejected from Harvard club, lol. Considering no one posted being accepted to the MS-80 in epi (unless I missed it), I am interested to know like who actually did get in???

I joked with a friend that they're aiming for a 0% acceptance rate this year to move up in the rankings

hi! what program did you apply for?
they have student ambassadors who have volunteered to talk to prospective students, you can email [email protected] to speak with a current student in your program! i'm scheduled to talk with a current HSB student today, mostly interested in asking them how they pay for school/Bay area living lol. i visited last year and they have a really nice new public health building, but hoping to get more insight into the program after some more research. will update what i learn!
I am! And likewise!

I applied for the global health program. I'd love to know about peoples experience here.
I cannot stop grinning/laughing seeing these bananas lol. Honestly, all the posts were reassuring that we are all in this together. 🙂Harvard Rejection Club!

Loving all the positive energy coming from this forum, even with the Harvard rejections!
I just heard back from the University of Arizona for their health behaviors MPH and it's a acceptance! For anyone still waiting on this program it looks like decisions are starting to roll out.

Y'all I still haven't heard back from Columbia (or Brown but I applied super late) and I'm still holding out hope a little about the merit scholarship? Does anyone have more information/could ask for more information about whether it's "guaranteed" for everyone who meets the cut off or if it's first come first serve, or if there are other factors involved than the hard numbers? Thanks in advance!
This is definitely an acceptance, congrats! Maybe that means at some point before April 15th they'll send out my decision, I was beginning to lose hope lol.

Also joining the Harvard reject club. Fingers crossed for Yale
Hiii I was also accepted into the EHS stream at UC Berkeley! Although not Global Health. Are you considering it? It seems like a great program from what I've researched but I haven't really heard much from student perspectives or seen anyone else admitted on here until now.
There is definitely a lot of flexibility, especially in your second year, to take global health electives. I’m interested in health policy as well as my main concentration in health behavior and expressed that to a current student. She said lots of students take all of their electives in another department. Congrats!
Yeah! I am considering it, although would love to hear some student perspectives of course.

It looks like Columbia uses the 3.75 GPA and 80th percentile (for each GRE section) as a guideline for their merit scholarship. My GPA didn't meet their "cutoff" but my GRE scores did. So I feel that they look to other parts of your application as well. Frankly, I was not expecting a scholarship from them.
Anyone still waiting on merit scholarships coming from Emory?

Did people who heard back from Berkeley reach out to any admissions people? Still waiting and getting antsy, not sure if I should just call and ask the status, but nervous that will result in a rejection. Advice? Keep waiting?

That's awful! Where are you flying from? I'm flying to NY tonight
Yale's campus is really cool, and it's only a few minutes from some of the worst beaches in America!
Don't worry friend, think of all the money you're saving! Use this community to gain the knowledge and connects you'll miss.
FWIW, I've tried calling a few times and they seem to not be answering their phones. I was sent straight to voicemail each time, no matter when I tried calling.
maaaaaaaaaan what is this nonsense, where!?

As a New Haven resident for almost 2 years, I must say I think there are better options. Downtown, BAR has excellent mashed potato and bacon pizza (don't knock it until you try it) along with excellent beers. DaLegna has good classic pizza options, and One 6 Three has amazing funky options, my personal favorite being "The Goat" which has goat cheese, cranberry jam, asparagus, basil aioli... mmmm...
Flying from Charlotte! I’m standby on a flight currently so fingers crossed I can still make it tomorrow!

Unfortunately, all the merit scholarships have been awarded. After some mixed messaging I was able to get a confirmation from the director of admissions and recruitment that merit scholarships were all sent out last week and the week prior.
Lol so true but my hotel reservation for the two nights is non refundable. NEAT!
Definitely relying on you guys for all the insider info. Don’t know what I’d do without you 😍
I got an email from Emory about an hour ago saying that I would hear back about merit scholarships and financial aid by the second week of March.
