MPH 2020: Applied, Accepted, Rejected, Waitlisted

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was accepted for epi! The decision was in the portal, I haven’t gotten an email. And for two year MPH, not accelerated.
Where in your portal does the update appear? Not sure if I don't have one yet or I'm dumb.

Not yet 🙂
Still waiting for a decision from 3 more schools
congrats on your acceptance to JHU. You will go there?
@GlobalOrthoLoverthank you. i am waiting for HSPH and Mailman. Not sure what to do yet. I guess financial aid might play a part. Please keep me posted about your plans. Also are you receiving any scholarship or aid from Jhu??

For those of you who got accepted to Columbia today, do we have a facebook group for admitted students? I signed up for 3/27 open house and was wondering if anyone is going on that day too...
 
OMG still haven't heard back from Columbia HPM but a hearty congratulations to all who got accepted 🙂)) !!!! For reference, can anyone who got into the MPH program in HPM let me know when he/she applied? I applied on November 27th but still haven't received an update. Thanks!

I got in, applied to HPM on 11/21 for the accelerated program. Good luck! Ps. your GRE is amazing!
 
Has anyone gotten a response that they have been "recommended for admission" and that "admittance will become official upon certification by the School of Public Health's Office for Student Engagement and Practice"? Does this mean I am in or could I still gt rejected??​
I got that from FIU and Maryland, but I was finally accepted into both. I think most, if not all, of the programs go through this process. The department accepts you, then, your application is forwarded to the Graduate Office for the final approval. It's just that some of the departments actually do inform you beforehand. In a nutshell, you are more likely to get accepted. They rarely reject students at this stage.
 
CONGRATS to everyone that's been getting acceptances!!! So exciting!! For Columbia, did everyone who was admitted have a phone interview?

Still waiting to hear back from Harvard and UC Berkeley. Both are mid-Feb to mid-March. So unfortunately will not be able to make a decision soon...
For financial aid, haven’t heard anything from Columbia or JHU, expect it will take some weeks there as well before we hear anything about aid. Waiting for some private/governmental grants to get back at me as well. So still many loose ends to fix, before I can formally say I will be doing an MPH next year

Let alone, that I’ll also have to convince my residency chairman to allow me the time off...

I wish! I would love to be a part of one. Same for Emory, if they have one I haven’t heard of it.

I believe only the HPM department at Columbia does interviews. I applied to a different dept and didn’t have an interview.
 
I woke up today to some great news. I got into the Global Health program at UW. That makes my last acceptance. I am very humbled!
Congratulations!! 😊

when did they send out your admission decision and when did you submit your application? Thank you!!
 
What was the priority deadline for Columbia Accelerated MPH program? And applying by priority deadline means to send SOPHAS application by that date or to be under review by date or to set up a portal and fill supplemental questions(as they were not automatically filled from SOPHAS application) by that deadline? Sorry if this question has been asked before in the forum. Just anxious as I did not receive anything from Columbia either in email or portal

Same, I applied Nov. 25 and still haven't heard anything... hopefully we'll hear soon!

Yea oh well. In due time they'll get back to us! The forum is absolutely golden for support in the admissions process but sometimes I find myself obsessing more about when results will come out than I should be. All the best to ya 🙂

The priority deadline for Columbia was 12/2. This means to have applied through SOPHAS. You did not have to been verified by this date.

I applied 11/30, went under review 12/3 and got accepted into accelerated MPH in HPM on 1/29.
