Hahaha I tried to keep myself busy but also found myself doing the same thing!

My app was under review 12/09, since my last letter of rec was submitted quite late, but not sure if there's any correlation!

Congrats to everyone who has applied AND been accepted!! Anyone have any idea about timeline for MHS in Epi at Hopkins? My app was sent for review yesterday and it's my top choice by far. I'm just worried about my stats (47th percentile Q, 78 percentile Verbal, 95% writing) and my GPA was a 3.2 with a BS in Neuroscience. However I have 5+ years of research experience, ton of posters, a few publications, lots of volunteering in a NICU and for Planned Parenthood, etc.

The only thing that might hurt you is your quant score, but I feel that your experience might likely make up for it and won't be an issue. Have you done well in quant classes during undergrad?

Hi everyone! I am looking at applying to MPH programs next cycle (starting fall 2021) and am specifically looking at a MPH/MPA dual degree. Do any of you have experience applying to these programs or have any thoughts and insights about the dual degree at different schools? So far I know Brown, Columbia, NYU, Colorado SPH, and the University of Utah (my in-state option) have MPH/MPA programs. Any others I should look into? Sorry, I know this isn't application related but it seemed like a good forum to get information from. Thanks in advance!
 
wow! I just got a call from UCSF saying I am admitted to the Global Health MS!!!!! I must have used up all my bad luck last week!!!!

Has anyone heard from Maryland yet? I know not many are applying there, but I'm in-state, so really hoping to get in!

I was also accepted to USF recently which is super affordable, but doesn't really compare with JHU or GW since I could attend at least some courses there in-person (I'm definitely more of an in-person learner). UMD seems to hit that middle ground nicely. Hoping I won't just have to pick the least expensive option, but obviously can't just go to the more expensive schools without reason!

I applied to their online behavioral/community health program on 11/20 and haven't heard back yet! I am not in-state (I'm in VA).

Congrats to all who have received offers! Long-time lurker, first-time poster!

I'm getting nervous as I haven't heard from any programs yet, and lots of people have been getting offers from Departments I applied to. I know I applied relatively late in the cycle (right on the Priority Deadlines) so I wanted to get an idea of whether it is concerning I haven't heard back, whether the programs I've applied for are realistic, and about anyone else's experience applying for the Advanced/Accelerated programs. I specifically chose programs which are one year, due to the arrangement with my scholarship and my workplace here in Australia (who have given me a year off and a guaranteed job when I get back after a year).

Undergraduate School: International medical school (Aus)
Undergrad GPA/Major GPA: 4.0 (WES verified)
Major/Minor: Medicine, graduated with Distinction
Grad studies (if applicable): My bachelors (Bachelor of Medicine) in Aus is equivalent to a US MD
GRE (including date taken): 11/12 164V (94%) | 168Q (93%) | 5.0W (92%)

Experience/research:
- Already have $45KUSD/$70KAUD scholarship to undertake Masters program at any overseas university by General Sir John Monash Foundation
- 2 years as a doctor, working full time rotating through various areas
- 2 years on National Youth Advisory Council for Youth Mental Health, advising on policy, youth participation, program design, advocacy and organisational strategy to do with youth mental health, spoke at Youth Mental Health Conference, co-convened Youth Participation conference (this was concurrent with working full-time/studying full-time)
- Board of Directors for a local youth suicide prevention charity
- Board of Directors for the national medical student association, have had various advocacy and leadership roles in same org (total involvement over 7yrs)
- Australian Delegate to Girls20 Summit (2016)
- Attended World Health Assembly and UN, as medical student delegate
- I'm really aware that I have done more advocacy, volunteering and have a clear dearth of research

Letters of rec: Academic Dean from Medical School, Director of Residency Training at my Hospital, Executive Director of National Youth Mental Health Organisation where I did my advisory work, CEO of Foundation that is funding me
Interested in: Youth and adolescent health, obesity prevention, youth health promotion, community-based health interventions

Applied: Johns Hopkins Schoolwide (12/1), Harvard 45-Unit MPH Health and Social Behaviour (12/1), Yale Advanced Professional MPH Sociobehavioural Sciences (12/15), Columbia Accelerated MPH Sociobehavioural Sciences (12/2), Emory Accelerated HCM (01/6)
Accepted: TBA
Rejected:
Attending:

I'd really appreciate any advice/insight or feedback!

This honestly might be the most impressive background+stats I’ve ever seen on SDN for an MPH candidate. I wouldn’t worry if I were you

P.S.: The Harvard MPH45 program has a 56% acceptance rate (twice their MPH65 acceptance rate), so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you get in there. Hopkins and Harvard love doctors

Re: scholarships - these can come from the department, the school, or the university, and the timeline (and notification process) for each will be different. I was accepted into the program 1/29/18 and received a (university-based) scholarship on 3/8/18.

Note that UNC is not like most of the private PH schools up North where a fair chunk of admitted students will get a small scholarship. There will be a very small handful of merit scholarships (in the spring) and assistantships (spring through fall) handed out. The silver lining is that UNC is significantly more affordable than NYU, Brown, etc., even after awards. Also, unless you're a dependent, you're almost guaranteed to get in-state tuition at UNC in year 2.
