I'm going to attend Columbia's on 03/06! 🙂
I also applied to the UW MPH Public Health Genetics and have had similar issues trying to do research. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting though!
Hi, thanks a lot! I have tried really hard and can't find much.
I am! 🙂
How did you find out about the SPH lunch?
I asked her if there was any date I can visit for admitted students and she mentioned they were finalizing that. She said she would send an RSVP soon.
Yes! On the 26th and 27th
congrats!!! see ya in the fall!!Thank you everybody on this forum for your contributions, it's lovely to see the overall support that everyone has for each other! I've been incredibly blessed to have had a highly challenging decision between my 2 top choices of Johns Hopkins and Yale.
Although I’m logically tossed between them, my gut tells me Yale, especially as my reaction to my admission involved a lot of tears, so I am excited to have recently committed to Yale for SBS!I'm looking forward to meeting all of you who are attending! If anyone would like to get in touch, please don’t hesitate to PM me!
Good luck to you all for your admissions decisions or whatever other path you may pursue outside of graduate studies! You will all touch the Earth with your desire to make it a better place.
I actually didn't fill out Columbia's supplemental questions until a few days ago. Did you send them an email to let them know you forgot? I'm thinking about doing that, but don't want to sound irresponsible.
I didn't fill out the supplemental questions at all but got accepted, so I guess the questions didn't matter that much.
I remember the supplemental questions exactly matching the criteria for some of the merit scholarships. So I would fill them out whenever you can because I think the responses are important for making funding decisions!
I'll be attending Michigan's!
Have you considered doing the Epi degree and not doing research? I am doing an MHS next year and I dont plan on my career being research focused at all. If possible, I would like to conduct research on the side, but it is not my end goal at all. The hard skills acquired doing the program will give you much more leeway if you want to work in policy or anything else in the future. You can also work in industry (pharma) or ngos if doing research/academia is not your thing. And, if you do end up deciding you want to go the management route on your program, I would email both schools. I`ve read the entire handbook of the Epidemiology department of Johns Hopkins and it doesnt mention anything on changing from one department to another so better ask.
Yes. I’m waiting on the MPH in Epi and biostat. Mine went into review on January 5th! I think they were out of office for the holidays from the 23rd until the 5th, so I’m sure there was a bit of a back up around the holidays. Hoping to hear in the next week or so—they told me 4-6 weeks on the 5th. Good luck !!!
Hi! I got accepted to Columbia Epi program last week!! Very excited!! Do you know what's the standard for merit scholarship. I have a high GPA, but my GRE is relatively low. Also, could you share some life and study experience there?
still waiting for epi&biostats as well!
If you don't mind sharing, on what day did you submit your application? I am in the same boat (for HPM as well) and submitted on 1/17.
I was routed for review on 11/15 and I had my interview on 12/29. The student actually told me I would hear around late February/early March based on my interview time but all of the other acceptances have given me anxiety!
Were you able to network with professors before attending Columbia or was it something you were able to do after enrolling in the program? Was the program overall worth the $?
Hey! I got accepted to LSHTM, and I am an international student from Mexico. In the end, I decided not to attend based on my particular future goals. I plan on working in the US for some time after graduation, so an American school would be much better for that. As for quality, the consensus is that LSHTM is similar to top American programs (Harvard/Hopkins) so, if you do end up going there, you won't miss out on anything quality-wise.
Which program are you going to?
Congrats. Will you be there at admitted student day on 3/13 ? I am going.
Congrats! When were you accepted and for which program?
Just one more perspective so that you have more data, also Columbia hpm, submitted mid Jan and interviewed late Jan. Haven't heard decisions yet 🙂
I was under review on 1/15/20 and accepted 2/6/20. This was for MHS Epi!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to... I’m moving around that time so wasn’t feasible. I’m hoping to schedule something personally with them. And darn, I have yet to get an e-mail about that!
MHS General Epi! With certificate in MCH
I recently applied and was just wondering how look it took back to hear from them?
A little over 3 weeks and I applied to the MSc in Epidemiology.
Don’t you have to pay a deposit in 3 weeks or something like that if you decide to go?
Yep. You have 28 days after admission to accept the offer and pay a deposit. Unless you apply to a scholarship, in which case, they will extend that window until scholarship decisions are reached. (usually the end of May)
Where did you see that UCLA's program is more admin focused? I've been trying to figure that out...
