Accepted to Tulane -MPH Epidemiology
Whoa, are you me? Hahaha, seriously, though - I'm also struggling with that decision of whether I want to keep working my job and going part-time.
Good to know. Thanks...The school will tell you when they require a decision by (usually non-negotiable). As stated above, I believe the earliest that can be is April 15. However, some schools do have later deadlines.
Just GWU...at least for right now. Working full time in DC and am planning on going to school part time/in the evenings. Can't exactly pick up and leave right now 🙁 That may change depending on their decision though. We'll see!
So I was accepted into CUNY SPH and they want me to respond to their email/make a deposit to reserve my spot and it must be no later than 3 weeks from my acceptance date. What's up with that? They signed they ASPPH Resolution on Acceptance of an Offer of Financial Support. Seems like they are in fact pressuring acceptances into making a decision. Did anyone else get that notice?
In hindsight, I kind of regret that I went back to school full-time. Adjusting back to the academic environment after being out of undergrad for three years and in a secure full-time job for more than two-years was more difficult than I anticipated. Graduate school is nothing like undergrad, so I'm a bit disappointed that I moved out of DC to return to school. Starting over has been difficult, though unfortunately GW's program did not compete with Tulane. I'm not sure if it's just my experience here at Tulane and if it would've been different at Emory or another program, though I'm going to advocate for working part-time and taking courses simultaneously as a full-time student.
I hope this helps!
I was unaware that the 'ASPPH Resolution on Acceptance of an Offer of Financial Support' even existed! I also received this notice. I wonder if this acceptance letter was just copy and pasted from last year. I believe this is CUNY's first year using SOPHAS.
The acceptance e-mail also states that admitted students day is March 30th whereas the RSVP form says it's April 1st!

How difficult do you think it would be to juggle working part-time and being a full-time student. By the time I matriculate, I will have been out of school and working a full time job for more than a year and a half. Doing well in a program will be my top priority, but if it's doable I definitely want to be able to work at least part-time.
I think it depends entirely on the individual; it's all subjective. If you're someone who knows how to manage your time and can handle a good amount of "good stress", then I'd say it's totally doable. Also I should mention that it depends on the intensity of your program. Since epidemiology is heavier in terms of quantitative analysis and science-based coursework, it might be a bit more challenging than for someone who is in say MCH or Global Health, and more focused on qualitative research and analysis.
To answer the person who asked about finances, I've saved up quite a bit of money from working, and have financial assistance from my parents.
Huh, don't a lot of people do part-time jobs while studying full-time, though? I might be misunderstanding what you're saying. Do you wish you had continued to work full-time and take classes part-time? My big worry is that because I'm not working in the field of public health, even remotely, that while I'd certainly save money, I'll have no experience when I graduate if I can't do internships or much research...even the RN mentioned previously is working in the health field, at least. 🙁
EDIT: Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you guys mean by part-time positions?
I applied as well, but I am also unable to check my application status.Has anybody who applied to Georgia State been able to check their application status online? It still tells me that I can't even though my application was submitted back at the beginning of November.

As above. Anyone know whats available, have a friend who might? Not getting particularly far via official routes...Accepted into JHSPH Health Leadership/Management today.
Any current MPH students there on this site? Looking into research assistantships...
I didn't submit my residency either. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what's going on.Have you submitted your residency paperwork? I haven't submitted yet and I'm hoping that's not what's causing the problem.

I have a question for those of you who have already been accepted to programs but are still awaiting the decisions of other programs...
What is the standard protocol for negotiating something like that? When you received your offer(s), were you given a date by which you would have to accept or decline the offer? Or was an immediate decision expected?
And if the policy or procedure wasn't made clear, how did you go about asking for that time? Or is that not a good idea?
Your inputs and advice are greatly appreciated...
Don't worry, I think it is required that they give you until April 15 and provide you with a decision before then so that you do not have that dilemma.
The school will tell you when they require a decision by (usually non-negotiable). As stated above, I believe the earliest that can be is April 15. However, some schools do have later deadlines.
Yea, along those lines.... Tulane keeps emailing me about whether or not I want to accept their admission offer. Seeing how I'm still waiting for 4 more schools, I don't think I'll be making that decision any time soon so I've just taken to ignoring their emails until I hear back from more ^__^ Glad to hear that the deadline is usually in April --- though I'm sure if they're on the verge of taking away the offer, they'll let me know.
Tulane has no deadline, it's like wicked late like August. Just put their emails to Spam, lol.
I will be 29 too! Glad to hear there is another oldie on here🙂.I only checked OPUS twice today. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, I hear. I still haven't applied to JHU, because I'm the laziest applier in the history of the world. With my scores, though, I know it's ... not likely, so why do it?
Random question - how old will you be when you matriculate? I'll be almost dead at 29.

Now I feel like a baby lol I just turned 21!22 and 1 month so I'll probably be the baby of the class
Being a full-time student in graduate programs requires less credits than undergrad, 9-11 credits (pretty much 3 courses) at Tulane is considered full time. Graduation requirements is 45 credits, which is made up of many cores, electives, and a set amount of required topical courses. In your case, maybe stay in DC, get a paid internship in GH, and take 3-4 courses a semester. Lots of organizations in DC, including the USAID, have a plethora of paid internships. If you have any questions, let me know.

I didn't realize I was one of the only young ones! Lol but hey I'm atleast pretty mature for my ageI would be 26. I assumed mid-twenties was common, now I'm wondering if I'm gonna be a grumpy graduate student complaining about youths 😱 Ah, just kidding.

Mine has said the exact same thing. I applied around the same time and it has gone between showing my high school information to saying that there's no application on file.

I emailed admissions last week and this is all they told me:
"At this point in time, students can monitor their applications via SOPHAS. Your application is complete/ready for review."
I also did not submit my residency yet... I think I accidentally permanently deleted that email confirmation (stupid tablet)... A little embarrassed to ask them to send it again
Man..I didn't even get an email confirming my application has been received.I emailed admissions last week and this is all they told me:

Should I email them to make sure? I applied in November.

Has anyone been invited to or know anything about University of Michigan's HMP Visit Day? I just received an email that I've been invited to visit and will have an interview with a faculty member. I have always thought that Emory was my first choice, but now I don't even know. I know UM's HMP program (I applied to the Global Health concentration as my second choice program) is the top in the nation, and I have been accepted to their Global Epi program already. I want to stay in Atlanta, and I'm not ready to move to the cold...
Gahhhh should I just interview? Do they pay for travel? I doubt it...
