I got the GW under review email last week. I haven't heard anything yet! 😕
A couple of hours. I would utilize their chat box option located on the Milken webpage, they generally respond within 10-15 minutes, if not quicker.

Did your decision show in the "Checklist for Application" section of the portal?

That's where I thought it would show up but it should actually change the entire portal after and there will be a tab titled "admission decision"

I heard back but from epi. I believe it varies by department.

an MSH. I applied in late September so I'd just wait a bit because I believe they review in the order applications are received.

I did too! It seems like they reviewed quickly after opening OPUS access when looking at last years forum, so here’s hoping for decisions before the new year.

When did you submit your application?
Fingers crossed for this week or next week for decisions!

I did not apply to Yale, but I am still waiting on Dartmouth.
I got an email last week from Yale that said my application was complete and is being reviewed. I got another email yesterday that said decisions will be sent out on a rolling basis until March
I got to 1499 - which was after a lot of editing

My app has been under review at Yale since 11/20 and my email said "Admissions decisions will be sent out on a rolling basis beginning after Thanksgiving." So, I'm hoping a decision will come by the end of next week.

Heard back from GWU. $16k scholarship over two years. Excited, but really I just want to hear from other schools. For those asking about Yale, I reached out to their assistant admissions director and she said they should be sending out decisions on a rolling basis after thanksgiving. That makes me think they'll be coming any day! Congrats to all who are getting acceptances 🙂 And good luck!
update, got the email - only got $8000 total. Probably not going to cut it 🙁
Does anyone have any insights about appealing for more financial aid? Should i reach out now? or wait a bit?

Is GW full-time MPH two years? Their tuition cost page only posts costs for 9 months...
October 30th!
yes, it's 2 years (summer classes optional?) if you are full time. I think the 9 months is assuming classes September-May (no summer).
If I go to GW, however, I'll be doing it part time over 3 years since I'll be working full time (I currently work in DC) so I'd be taking a few classes each semester and over the summer.

I'm in the same situation and I think I'm just going to wait for a bit. Based on last year's forum, it's also possible that schools will reallocate funding once people start denying their admission offers. I'll probably register for the financial aid webinar and see if I can get any info from that.

Emory finally received my application!
Congrats!! When did you apply to Hopkins?
I submitted on 11/18.
Hey to edit my previous response...it looks like Harvard will use the portal to give decisions and JHU has been also. Just check both email and the portals regularly and you should be good!
not yet, which concentration did you apply to? 🙂

Emory sent me an email saying they received my application finally! However, they also say they don't have a SSN on file for me even though I included my SSN on my SOPHAS application. I know you have to include your SSN on your SOPHAS application in order for the school to also receive your FAFSA. Did this happen to anyone else. I already filled out my FAFSA. Should I reach out to Emory and the other schools I applied to to confirm they have my SSN on my SOPHAS application?
When I applied in 2017 they had issues processing my SSN and I know this happened with a few other people. Reach out and they’ll tell you how to remedy the situation

Thanks! I just checked my SOPHAS application and I filled out my SSN. However, I spoke with someone at SOPHAS and they said that my SSN is not on my applications so I guess I will have to contact all the schools and fix this.
So weird! My issue was because I was adopted and somehow that caused a complication??? I don’t know how that works but it got resolved!

SOPHAS just got back to me and actually said that my SSN is included in my applications (it's just not included on the PDF for security reasons) but the schools should have access to it so I am not sure why Emory is saying they don't have it. I think to be safe I will confirm with all the schools I applied to to make sure my FAFSA is received.

Just got scholarship info from GW, they must be bored or cranking out emails today because I was only accepted on Friday... $5k first gen scholarship over two years. Not much, but we'll see!
Also, I was just accepted to Temple but they only gave me three weeks to accept or deny... this isn't right, is it? I was under the impression all graduate schools gave until April 15th? I thought I read somewhere in here that another person had this issue with only three weeks but I can't find the post.

I received my scholarship for GWU for $32k this morning!
I also got an email from Emory today about creating a portal on OPUS, but after filling out the information on that website, they said that my information isn't on file. Should I give it a couple days and try again, or contact Emory?

Thanks for the link! I appreciate it. I sent them an email asking about it, kind of hard to be excited about the acceptance when it may disappear in a couple of weeks ya know.
eager to hear what you find out! I'm going to apply to Temple's online MPH (so I can keep working) but if I get in and then need to decide within three weeks...

Hi, I have a question about the SOPHAS. Since I'm still an undergraduate student, my counselor said that I will not have an official transcript, so can I just send my unofficial transcript to SOPHAS? or I must apply for the official one? Thank you! And congrats to everyone who receives the offer!
My school was able to send an official transcript of what I’ve taken so far. If your school uses a clearing house or transcript service this will be a similar case. It’ll just show your currently enrolled courses as “in progress” or “enrolled”.
