Which department did you apply for? HPM?Just got into Columbia!
What does it mean if I haven't heard anything from Columbia / was it through email or a portal?
I never received information for a portal. When were you sent this?It was a email that stated that a decision had been made on the portal and the admit letter was actually on the portal itself!
I didn’t get anything yet eitherI never received information for a portal. When were you sent this?
The portal only originated with the decision email, I didn't have anything before this evening!I never received information for a portal. When were you sent this?

And congratulations.
I like the fact that it's next door to CDC, which is basically my dream workplace since high school. :-D It has plentiful amount of resouces and connections in the public health arena...at least in my opinion and observation from the website. lolwhy in the world would your top choice be emory?
other people could have different top choices than yours.why in the world would your top choice be emory?
Agreed. I think Emory is a great school and was one of my top choices when I first started applying-- the poor communication has turned me off a bit though.other people could have different top choices than yours.
So weird! And thank you, you too!!!Weird, we have the exact same GRE scores. But my GPA is much lower. Good luck with admissions!

I got accepted to John Hopkins in December for MPH in Epi. I didn’t message anyone, but I’m still waiting for financial aid.Did anyone who got into Johns Hopkins full time MPH email professors or department heads? Before, during, or after you applied? Just curious if that made a difference. Thanks
Oh wow. They don't offer grants and scholarships?I completely agree. One of my good friends is in her first year there and already has a research position at the CDC. I wish it could be my number one but because of the lack of financial aid that they offer, I don't know.
I'm still waiting to hear from Yale. That's my number one, but I feel like skeptical now, since I've seen others get in.
Pittsburgh basically told me that I would need to fund myself (and my expected contribution is $0 and I'm from a low income family). But they told me if I was in the first 50% of people that accept their offer I would get a one time scholarship of $1000!!! How generous!!!! Not.In at Harvard online-on campus EPI program!!
Also got into UTHeath, John Hopkins, Boston, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and now Harvard.
Could someone help me out with choosing a college. I got financial aid at Boston but that doesn’t seem to cut it. I would to focus on cancer epidemiology and more from a research stand point.
John Hopkins is the best but I’m worried the 11 month program will be too difficult plus the tuition cost. Minnesota is more community focused.
Any idea on how is Pittsburgh and UTHealth Houston. (Haven’t seen anyone applied to these schools)
On top of this being super rude, like others have pointed out, it also just doesn't make sense -- Emory is a great school! Personally, I'm primarily concerned with selecting a program that will give me the skills I need to help improve public health without shouldering debt for decades.why in the world would your top choice be emory?
I've been passed over by Emory seemingly too (almost to 8 weeks...) but got into Yale and Columbia hahahaOh wow. They don't offer grants and scholarships?
I know exactly how you feel. Seeing people get into Emory over the past month have made me feel a little discouraged and doubtful that I'll get in because their stats and experience are way above mine. I try not to compare myself to others and I'm holding on to optimism and hope! Good luck to you!
