I was accepted to UT at the San Antonio campus on Monday but I am an MD/MPH dual degree candidate.
Hey guys! Just got my acceptance email from GW (Community Oriented Primary Care). I submitted my application 12/14, received a completed email on 12/22 and just heard from them today. This is the first school I'm hearing back from so I'm excited I finally heard back and it was positive!

Which department did you apply to? From what I know, only HPM conducts interviews.
HPM!
Don't lose hope!
I'm still waiting on BU as well and received the "we'll make every effort to let you know by the end of December" email. Should I follow up if I don't hear by the end of January? I really don't want to bother them. Is anyone else who got that letter still waiting?
Great news! Thanks for keeping us in the loop
Anyone know what's going on with South Florida? It said the decision would take 2-3 weeks and they said my app was received on Dec. 4 for Epi/Communicable Disease.
I submitted in November and didn't hear anything back until last week or so, so it seems as though the 2-3 week decision time may be a bit inaccurate, hah.
Congrats! I applied too, on 1/2. When did you apply and did you get an email with the acceptance? Thanks!
I applied January 5th and heard back January 19th

I applied 11/30 and no, you have to check your status on the UGA ID they give you!
Accepted to UMD for epidemiology! 
Okay, good to know. Hopefully I hear something soon. Thank-you and congratulations!
Thank-you! Still waiting 🙂
Hey..
Firstly, congratulations. Could you provide me some info on Hopkins. I am an international student as well, though my profile is not as great as yours. GRE-V-157,Q-164, A/W-4.0, IELTS-8.0. Submitted my application 1 mon back. What did they ask you during interview?

Thanks akki99 - Your GRE score is still pretty good, so don't lose hope. I didn't have an interview for JHSPH. I just received an email with the outcome of my application stated. However, I submitted my application on 7th November and it was verified a couple of days later.

Don't lose hope. I saw a lot of acceptances into BUSPH way before I got mine, and mine was verified in the 2nd week of November.
Jumping in here but I applied 1/6 and UGA admissions told me I should hear back by next week. Hope that helps!

Hi there!
I added my study abroad school to SOPHAS (because it asked for ALL institutions we attended), but didn't apply for a WES eval because all my study abroad credits/titles/grades are listed on my home transcript. SOPHAS didn't reject my application, but I have been running into some trouble with the schools I've applied to. I received emails from 2 schools (so far) telling me that my application was incomplete because I was missing a WES eval. I just emailed them back and told them my situation and they took care of it, but it's still a little unnerving.
Hope that helps!
Actually, that was a very old post that I had responded to several months back. I think what happened was a new user wanted to reply to that post, but made a mistake and only quoted the post instead without leaving any text of his own. PHPenguin has already submitted and received some acceptances, including Hopkins.
I don't think the forum allows you to delete posts. Just click "Edit" and replace your post with a space or a period.
I'm extremely late to this, but I've been following this thread since the beginning. I've been too afraid to post my own information because well...rejection sucks and stuff. But, I've been waiting and waiting for an admissions decision from a school that is supposed to get back to priority applicants "around January 20th" telling myself I would post my information when I received, at least, one acceptance somewhere so I wouldn't risk total humiliation. I'm now starting to believe I haven't received a decision letter yet because I haven't posted to this forum and the universe is playing some sort of mean trick on me. So...here it goes:

Recommended for admission to University of Maryland for Health Policy MPH! I also like the previous poster have average GPA and GRE
IDK what you are so nervous about, it looks like you have very solid stats and experience. Keep your head up!
Congratulations! Please give some of that luck to me?! 😛 I was just told by the program coordinator at one of the schools I applied to that they didn't plan on sending decisions out until the week of Feb. 22 🙁 This waiting game is the worst.
University of Michigan: "You have been recommended for admission to the University of Michigan School of Public Health by the Health Behavior and Health Education department. Your admittance will become official upon certification by the School of Public Health's Office of Academic Affairs. Once your recommendation has been verified and confirmed, your status will be updated. Please note that you are not officially admitted until that verification has taken place."
Ahhh! But I am not sure that I want to be where it's cold! :/

What school was this??
Tufts. They were the only school that didn't say when they would make decisions by in their confirmation email after I submitted my app. Sigh.
Thanks that does help! Good luck to ya 🙂
Duh, I totally forgot about that haha thanks!!
It's in the "formal acceptance letter". Its another email they said a few days after the acceptance email with a bunch of pdf attachments. Its also in the mailed acceptance package.
Ah yay! Now let's see who attends... Hmm. I'm glad your wait is over for Boston though
received decision via email today for EMA, however nothing on Wolverine Access...... so..... all the paranoid feels. lol

@hnnrgh
Looks like you and I are going to be choosing from a similar roster of schools. Are you leaning towards any school in particular?
PS. Great job on the update from Emory! You were like the Paul Revere of OPUS, thanks to your heads up, a lot of people got their notifications that day.

What time did you receive your email? I was supposed to hear back today, but nothing yet...
just about an hour ago
Thank you! I think the whole applying to grad school process is really just a process of self-deprecation and doubt about whether you're actually good enough. Plus the waiting game is just killer, I'm keeping my head up for sure and congrats on your acceptance to UM!
Just got accepted to Dartmouth via phone call and email!! 🙂
