From what I’ve heard from Dartmouth (MS in QBS so may be different from yours), they’re hoping to get everyone in the program on campus in the fall and do rigorous testing.
Today the Dean of Yale SPH said they will most likely be in person; they are already doing a few classes/seminars in person (socially distanced with masks) and they expect a good chunk of students will be vaccinated by Fall so they are optimistic it will be safe to return to campus. Columbia sounded less sure but they also have a larger program and they are in a much denser urban area than Yale.
there is a Welcome to GWSPH event on March 12 !
I'd try sending them an email!
I heard on a Wednesday at 1:40PM ET if that helps!
Thanks!!!! I'll have a shot of tequila ready.
On Friday, they told me they would start sending them by the end of the month and then send them throughout the spring.
Hi there! So sorry to hear about the wait list, but hope is not lost! I am also waiting for the accelerated program at Columbia and for Harvard. I haven't heard back from either, but did get accepted to JHSP (MSPH) so wouldn't be so sure! Can I by any chance ask when you applied to Columbia and when you heard back 🙂? Thanks so much!
Me! I applied 11/30 to HPM and haven't heard anything! I'm so nervous!
Yeah, if I hear nothing by the end of the day I think that's the move!
I am! I applied in October and got sent for review on 1/27
Me! I applied 1/14, sent for review 2/11 😕
hi, me! I applied to epi on 1/14 and was sent for review 1/21
they really do - i woke up to an email from them last week at 7:45 am haha. sending you good luck!!
I'm in a similar boat! sent for review 1/27, applied in November. What concentration?
I am! Sent for review on 2/1
I am! Sent for review 1/26.
I feel you with UNC. I applied 11/17 and submitted my supplemental on 11/27 so I'm going on about 3 months now 😬🥴
What conc? that's insane!
Right?! I originally applied to EQUITY but I was sent to my 2nd choice MCH (which I found out on SOPHAS). I emailed admissions back at the beginning of January and they just told me a decision wasn't made and to email the department, which I did and never got an email back😭
Now you can rest and prepare for that surgery. I still have you in my prayers. Wish you the best.
I applied to the dual degree program for law and public health
Depends on the exact date, amount and risk. You could do a high interest savings, but that's still not going to give you a good return. A step up is a money market account. A step from that is a CD account. There are 6 month CD accounts, but it's at a lower %. The last thing you could do is head to the stock market. Beware, if you don't know what you're doing...don't start loosing money. The internet has been giving people a false sense of understanding and everyone is trying to give advice. If you're going to go that route, please be careful and be watchful. When I first started investing in the market, I was finicky and would pull out at the first sign of trouble...lost money. But then, sometimes I held for too long...lost money. Research and Awareness.
I received my second decision from UMich yesterday. Check the portal to see if they have made a decision.
thanks! I think in terms of investing i meant like safer investing options like a roth or ETFs or something just not to sure if they are worth it if i go to school in just a few months
If it helps, my decision came around 2:30pm last Wednesday. Don't give up hope!!
So much love for you!! Congratulations! 🙂
Congratulations! you are so deserving! your experiences are a testament to what perseverance can do!
