I definitely did cry when I got into UNC I was so excited haha. Congrats!In at UNC for nutrition!! I nearly cried I am so so excited
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).

I'd really appreciate any advice/insight or feedback!
i got an email!Did Emory send emails out last night, or did everyone find out through an OPUS update? Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!!
Saaaaaaame. I applied global epi and haven’t heard. Hopefully they just haven’t gotten to those yet and it’s not that we didn’t get it!
Congrats to you too! Was it your first choice?I definitely did cry when I got into UNC I was so excited haha. Congrats!
Isn’t BU supposed to start giving their replies today?
Just out of curiosity, what was the acceptance rate at Yale for MPH? Roughly.
That's what the director of admissions said when I met with her on Tuesday. She said they review them in batches each week and will release decisions each Friday (or following Monday). On one hand I believe her because she literally runs the admission team but on the other hand I feel like I've been tricked before with these decision dates lol. But fingers crossed for today!I'd be really excited if that's the case but according to some people in the forum a few days ago, they started reviewing Fall 20' applicants just this past Wednesday -- anyone correct me if I'm wrong though!
Just got accepted to University of Minnesota MPH in Epidemiology
Congrats!!!! Email or portal?And in at Johns Hopkins MHS in Epidemiology!!!
I’m doing the in person on2/16. Michigan is one of my top programs and I wanted to take the time to see the campus.Yeah, no problem! Hopefully you get in as well! I actually haven't done the visit day yet. I signed up for the virtual visit day since I'm all the way in California and currently busy with my AmeriCorps service. I kinda wish I was able to visit though because the in-person visit day allows you to meet with faculty one-on-one and mingle with current students in the program. I also wanted to see what the campus looked like and take a tour. Are you doing the virtual visit day as well?
I received an email saying that a decision had been made and to check my portal.Congrats!!!! Email or portal?
I just checked your stats (which are amazing btw) and it looks like we have some similar interests! Have you heard anything from GW for GHEDC? Their email said I was supposed to hear back in 3-6 weeks but today is the end of the 7th so I’m not sure whether I should reach out to them.
That's so exciting!! Congrats. Hoping I hear today as well.I received an email saying that a decision had been made and to check my portal.
Got into Global epi at Emory and GHEDC at GW!!!
Just got into GW for GHEDC!!
As long as you have all your material in before the 1st it should be fine. I submitted mine in early November for the 12/1 deadline, but a transcript that took way too long didn't get in until 12/07. My applications were all verified 12/12 and I had no issuesDoes anyone know how the SOPHAS deadline work? For example if the deadline says that it is due Feb. 1st but you esubmitted it before the deadline, but it will not be verified by then, would the application be late?

Send them an email or check your spam. They told me the same thing and I did get an offer.Did anyone else else not hear from UMN yet? They said they’d send decisions by the end of the week (I’m guessing weekends don’t count) and I haven’t heard anything!
