MPH / MSPH 2021: Applied, Accepted, Waitlisted, Rejected, Attending

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Seems like Harvard acceptances today are Nutrition and Health Policy, anyone with Harvard SBS Social and Behavioral Sciences?

Maybe it's department specific?


Yes congrats to all y'all BALLERSSS :soexcited:

Accepted into Columbia PopFam as of 7:24am PST!!!!!!!!

Edit: Originally applied to the Accelerated MPH Program but wasn't offered a spot there. Regardless, SUPER ecstatic with the acceptance! 🙂
omgomg congrats!! you deserve this! quick q, how did the re-routing process work? i’m wondering because i applied to epi but think i might’ve had a stronger background/application for SMS
 
Does anyone know if JHU MPH has awarded all of its scholarships already?
I'm wondering the same thing! Also, not sure if the aid info comes in an email or if it just gets posted to the SIS portal? I think I'll call the aid office today, but figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has additional info 🙂
 
Have you done your interview?
I saw on the grad cafe that that someone reported that he/she got the acceptance from Columbia in early June few years ago.
I was frightened by the post because I could not wait for the result until June 🤣
I did do the interview! It's been about a month now so I'm not sure what that means for me exactly LOL. June does seem quite late- I have a friend who heard back last year in March so I'm hoping we're in a similar boat!
 
Hey! I did get in, how about you? If you’re still waiting don’t worry, I know applicants much better suited than me still waiting.
I'm still waiting!

I just got an email from the FinAid office this morning checking my status. So I'd say they are still working on it.
 
Congrats on your acceptance everyone!
Anyone waiting on Harvard- 65 credits Health Management? or just health management in general. I know Health Management is the same department as policy and policy acceptances came out today sooo.. super scared!
 
I am waiting for MPH-45 HSB. It looks like decisions are departmentalized. Hopefully HSB will be today as well.
I agree, it does seem departmentalized! I hope we hear this week, I'm not sure I could hold on until 'mid-March' as they say LOL

Did health policy 45 credit acceptances come out today?

This might mean that I couldn't make it🤔
But I havent giving up yet. Still croessing my fingers!

Is anyone waiting to hear back from Emory HPM? My application was routed for Review 01/28 and I know its only been4 weeks but I see some people getting emory acceptances within 3 weeks of routing for review 😢

Hi, and thank you so much! When I applied Accelerated for Columbia on SOPHAS, there was an option I marked to also have my application reviewed for the two-year program in case they saw I was a better fit there. I think you should email admissions if you feel that may be the case for your tracks, too. Otherwise I didn't receive any formal notifications prior to my acceptance letting me know my app was passed on to my "second choice", if that helps!

I also applied to Yale's Advanced MPH Program and although they did not have this option on SOPHAS, I emailed the Director of Admissions and they confirmed they will also consider me for their two-year program so perhaps it doesn't hurt to ask!

I noticed a lot of us have been having trouble finding harvard financial aid packages. They're released simultaneously along with our admission decisions. Once you open your decision letter in the my.harvard portal (ON DESKTOP not phone), you'll be prompted to update your portal by logging out. When you do, your portal will look like this and you can click on the "view financial aid communication" button.

Hope this helps!

How do you guys know that you got waitlisted? Like do they send you an email or is it your assumption from not having heard back?

Also,

For those who got their Harvard decisions, did you get an email notification or have you just been checking the portal?
