Thank you!!! I agree! I am still visiting UCLA and University of Michigan just because I have already planned for it and still want to see if they offer anything but I am 99% sure I'll be attending. This was for public health nutrition btw

Did Berkeley also offer some travel reimbursement for their visit day? I got notice of that yesterday, and I'm wondering if that has any relationship to more $$$ coming my way. Fingers crossed! 😉

That's awesome! How did they notify you of your package? I just received info for my Calnet account but most of the modules and pages are still still inactive for me.

Just got accepted to Yale on 02/18! I submitted my application in mid-December. Still haven't heard from Columbia though yet....which makes me nervous. My phone interview was one week ago (02/13) and it went pretty well I thought. I know that it might take longer than a week to get back to me but I'm going a bit crazy since they're my first choice.

What concentration?

Had you already filed the FAFSA before you heard about travel reimbursement? I was told that there "might" be travel reimbursement available when I had a more general conversation with the MCH program, but it didn't sound definite and I haven't heard anything since.

Thanks! I received an email. The subject line said "fellowship offer" it has a form I would have to sign and submit online in order to accept. I am guessing I won't get a paper copy of the offer.

I did receive that email with some travel reimbursement info a few hours apart from the offer, perhaps there is a relationship! Also, they are urging us to make a decision soon so that they can offer it to others for those not planning to accept it. Fingers crossed!!!🙂
 
Hang on guys, freaking out now:
"Congratulations again on your admission to the University of Michigan, School of Public Health. On behalf of the School and the Hlth Behavior & Hlth Educ MPH program, I am pleased to inform you that we are awarding you a Dean’s Scholarship valued at 50% Tuition Only, to be applied each term for the 2016-2017 academic year (an academic year includes Fall and Winter terms only). A similar scholarship will be awarded during your second year of study, provided that the required conditions are met."
THEY ARE PAYING FOR HALF OF MY TUITION?????
*screaming*
 
This is pretty late but I noticed that there is a new Healthcare Management concentration at Harvard for the 65-credit MPH. I know that on SOPHAS it says that the application was due on December 15th 2017 however some places say later since it's starting in Jan 2017. Can anyone confirm the deadline?

I visited Emory on Friday and absolutely loved it. I am so excited to say that I will be attending Emory this Fall!!

That's awesome! I am really looking forwarding to visiting next month. What did you love about it?
 
Nyu has extended its application date. Do you think this means they want more candidates. Low interest in NYU? I'm thinking of resubmitting with a different concentration. How do,you think that would be regarded at this time.

I'm an International applicant as well! Where are you from? I'm from Venezuela.
I'm thinking on calling to Columbia on Monday...but I'm hesitating, I don't want to be annoying (Although the last time I called was on December, to confirm that my application were completed).
Unfortunately, NYU rejected me yesterday :s...told that they don't have enough space for all applicants, but they just extended the application deadline until March...so I'm guessing they didn't like my profile :s...but I wish you good luck with both Columbia and NYU!!!

Hi, I am from India. May be we can wait a little bit more as many of the students did not get the results yet from Columbia. To which schools you are applying apart from these two? I emailed NYU this morning and they said your application is incomplete. I again went through a series of emails but then finally got a mail that your application is complete and we will be in touch with you as soon as the result come out. I wondered why I took so long to email and ask the status of my application. Something is wrong with their system I suppose 🙁
One rejection cannot be the luck decider. So have high hopes and good luck with Columbia and other applications 😀 I am still waiting to hear from every school I applied :/ thanks for the wishes though🙂

Yea I saw the extended deadline as well. Not really sure what to make of that extension? But I think you would be fine to resubmit for a different concentration. I don't see a problem with that. The deadline is March 16th, so you have time and all your supporting documents are all in. I never thought of submitting with a different concentration. Good luck!

Also, there was someone who posted they received a rejection letter last week, so decisions are being given. I asked the person who posted when they applied and when their application was verified he/she said around 2/2-4. So the waiting game continues ...

To those who have been accepted into UCLA Community Health Sciences -- have you received an official admission letter from the UCLA Admissions Office and/or word on scholarships/fellowships/grants? I haven't gotten much information aside from the Admitted Student Day.

I was offered an award as part of UCLA's acceptance letter, if that helps.

For starters, the campus is absolutely beautiful and the new Rollins building is less than five years old. I know facilities don't make or break the decision but I think it is very important to be in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Furthermore, I was admitted to Global Health and I really like the curriculum. There are so many course offerings and it really allows students to tailor their education to their career interest. The cost per semester is also flat rate so you can take as many courses as you want. They require you to earn 42 credits to graduate but the academic advisors said most students graduate with around 55.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: The faculty at Rollins is amazing! Most of them work in conjunction at the CDC or have in the past. After talking to current students, it is apparent that faculty are very accessible and are adamant on getting students involved in research and placed in great practicum settings. There is also the "REAL" program which is a work-study program that places students in research positions with companies and organizations around the Atlanta area (CDC, American Cancer Society, CARE, Emory Hospital, Carter Foundation, etc.). Side note, when people say the CDC is close to campus, it is literally within throwing distance from Rollins. In my opinion, the opportunities that Rollins offers their students is unrivaled.

Ultimately, I just really felt at home while visiting and think it is without a doubt the best place for me. I would be happy to try and answer any questions anyone has!

are you going to admitted students day? (March 31- April 1)
Click to expand...
Yes, I will be there! Even though I've already decided to attend Emory, I think it will be a great opportunity to meet future classmates and hopefully figure out a living situation. The current students I spoke with on my visit said that a lot of students find their roommates during the Visit Emory event! I also think the research and job fair will be really great.

You're really selling me on this program, I got accepted to Global Health too. However most people are telling me to accept Columbia or Yale's offer because of the name. I'm really torn, though I know this is a good problem

@pakhtanahamed @PHhopeful They sent my rejection letter last week. I applied for the HPM concentration, verified on 04/02 and the letter sent on 18/02. I think they didn't like my profile, since the decision came out fast (2 weeks) and some other applicants are still waiting for results :s:s
Is it possible/convenient to apply for a different concentration once rejected in the other one?
Good luck in your application!!!
 
Congratulations to everybody on all the great news! This is clearly a group of very successful candidates on this thread 🙂

For those of you who received scholarships to Michigan, were you notified via email, letter in the mail, or on wolverine access?
 
Is anyone aware of a Colorado admitted students fb page? OR is anyone planning on going to the admitted day?
 
Got my financial package from WashU, all loans besides the merit they gave me. Hope my other packages are better; but for now, one school off my list.

Hi @Saji Yes, we definitely should wait, at least until the end of the week. I also applied for GWU (Accepted), Boston U (Accepted), NYU (Rejected), Harvard (Waiting), CUNY (Waiting), Yale (Waiting), Rutgers (Waiting), and Weill Cornell Medicine for a MS in Health Policy and Economics (Waiting).
How about you??
 
Congratulations to all!!!! Anyone heard from NYU for Epi??
