Thank you! I interviewed with them on Feb 10th.
Haha - I am also undergrad there and missed the application deadline for MPH by A FEW DAYS. Wrote them an email - they were not having it. Whatevers. Bye felicia!
ACCEPTED COLUMBIA HPM!
Only 4 months after submitting my application...
I interviewed 2/3
Did you call and ask for an estimate on their notification date?Still waiting to hear from Texas A&M. They said it could take up to 6 weeks, but it's past that point already.
Silently going crazy.
I did, and they repeated the whole "up to 6 weeks, check the admissions portal" speech. Not so helpful 🙁
Who did he ask?
I was able to decline my admission, but I still get e-mails from them about things such as immunizations 😕. My admission's experience with them was kind of weird though. For some reason, I received emails saying that I was both accepted and rejected to the school. Additionally, my online portal had two notifications - an acceptance and a decline. No idea how that happened.
Plenty of schools give out decisions during the week, Harvard just tends to do it on Fridays.
Friday morning, then 1 hour after my Columbia acceptance came via email. It was a interesting Friday.
If it helps I called Harvard and they would finish sending out decisions by the end of next week (3/20). (But to be honest, I'm not sure if it does because I called last Monday (3/2) and they said we would find out within two weeks which would be this Friday). So...hoping for a decision Friday I think?I got my Yale rejection
Berkeley sent me an email at 8pm on a Thursday night telling me they don't want me, sooooo weird
I don't want to call Harvard anymore, because then they will be annoyed by me. I can't imagine going through that crazy snow storm. What did Bostonians do when they were trapped in their homes due to 10 ft of snow and they desperately needed food, or an over the counter medication at 2am from a 24 hour pharmacy?
Yikes....hope that snow storm never happens again...scary...
Believe me, you will get used to the snow. 🙂 I grew up in one of the snowiest cities in the USA, and trust me, you will learn to drive in it, walk in it and put up with it.I got my Yale rejection

I'm also planning to move to wherever I'm headed early in the summer (although earlier than you are saying). My current lease ends in June and it just isn't feasible to move twice. Hopefully there will be some job opportunities or paid internships available that will help me make ends meet for a bit.
As grueling as the wait is, it still isn't very bad at all compared to a lot of other programs. Med students start applying as early as a year beforehand and all find out on March 15. A lot of PhD programs don't start releasing decisions until well into March, either. I'm an obsessive planner so it's a grueling situation for me, but at the same time I do understand it's Harvard and they're probably overwhelmed by applications and the snow and March 13 really is not that bad in the scheme of things. I think it's nice that most programs seem to have been releasing decisions piecemeal as they make them. So, yes that means that the app process is a little unpredictable, but the alternative is we all wait until a day in mid-March to find out.I got my Yale rejection

I'm working until late July then moving. I recommend getting paid for as long as possible until you start school, but Harvard's summer program looks nice too.
They emailed me directly. I also got it from my advisor at the Friedman School (I'm dual-degree MS Nutrition / MPH), so most likely the scholarship came from them and not Public Health, but it can be applied to either portion of my tuition.
Used to be a management consultant - Ace the Case is okay, but everyone swears by Case in Point (by Michael Cosentino). He really teaches the structures well. Good luck!

I'm working as a full-time temp employee in my state's Department of Health Services doing some data management and analysis. So excited, especially since it's exactly where I want to work post-graduation (health statistics), haha 🙂
Has anyone received a rejection or acceptance from Harvard MPH from the Health and Social Behavior program?
Who wants to come with me to Target, so we can buy a bunch of blow dryers, go to Boston, melt the snow so Harvard's admission department can put us out of our misery?
Anyone? Anyone at all?
