For me, it really comes down to aid. But I think emory and JHU are the best in terms of program fit!
Congrats! Its awesome that we got into our dream school!
Also in at Emory for epidemiology! Congrats to everyone else that got acceptances! Maybe we'll get to be classmates haha

Just in at Emory MPH!
In at Emory for Global Health!!! 
Congrats to everyone else hearing back!
Congrats to everyone else hearing back!Anyone considering going to Admitted Students Day/Visit Emory? 🙂
when is that?
I want to go! Not sure if i can take time off work.
March 22nd - 23rd. Wish it was on the weekend

Also in at Emory for epi! So excited!
Are you sure? I thought it was 23rd and 24th. 23rd is optional, so the real day is on a Saturday
Same here, I'd really love to go, but I suppose I could always try to schedule a tour on the weekend
Quick question everyone, I applied to Columbia in January before the deadline but haven't received any confirmation of my application being received. Is this normal procedure for Columbia or should I be worried?
Also just to confirm, their FAQ says decisions are sent in March but I've definitely seen people receiving acceptances. Is the FAQ no longer correct or is March simply the deadline for acceptance notification?

Is attending Admitted Students Day a good idea/recommended? I want to go to the one in Michigan and stuff but I live all the way on the West Coast. Is it worth the cost and time to go to these events?
This is a good question. I'm wondering this as well. I want to go to Emory's admitted students day but i live in California. Cross country flights are expensive. Lol
Im thinking about this as well. I want to attend Yale and Columbia's admitted students day but its hard since I am all the way in WA. Would love some insight on this.
That's what I'm thinking about doing. Plus it's a two day event and i don't want to go through the financial expense and hassle of finding a hotel.
I'd love to go to Emory's, but I'll just have gotten back home from traveling and I probably won't want to take time out of school. I went to their open house in October, so that helps. If I hadn't ever visited, I would definitely want to go before showing up in August.
By the way, it's a beautiful, beautiful place.
I will be attending Emory's admit day. If anyone is going, let me know. I would love to meet ya'll.
I'm from WA too! Did you apply to UW?
Yes I DID! I went there for undergrad! You a fellow husky too?! Its the only school I have yet to hear from.
Yes I'm a husky!!! Hoping to continue as a husky!! 🙂 my boyfriend works in the bio department so I'm on campus sometimes to get things done while waiting for him.

Yeah same here. From here on out I'm going to make applying to scholarships my full time job, which is what i wish i did before undergrad. Lol
Very interesting considering Harvard's tentative admitted student day is March 23, as well.
Yay! Glad to see another husky on here! Which department did you apply for?
I applied just before the deadline as well but I received an email on January 16 from Columbia that my application is complete and will be forwarded to the department for review.
On the same email I was told that "Decisions notification will be sent via email only in February."
Epi!
