I'm curious about what everyone loves about Yale? I didn't apply (just because I prefer larger cities) but I see a lot of people on here did. Side note, the campus is beautiful-- I did a research internship there and it felt like Hogwarts lol

Personally, I think Yale started off as "love at first sight" but it then came down to "fit".

Yale University as a whole speaks volumes about its history, culture, academic rigor. While many other schools have the same, the camaraderie, connectedness, close-knit community, small class-sizes, coupled with innovating thinking and collaboration is what made it stand-out.

I understand rankings matter, at the same time, YSPH is most likely overshadowed by the Law, Med and Business schools such that it does not the credit it deserves. However the Yale "label" is something people know of, from Tanzania to Tennessee.

I do not necessarily agree with the statement that its US focused; their global health department is far reaching and I get the feeling that "humanitarian" and "social justice" is weaved into their culture, be it law, med or public health. Yale alumni are everywhere making a difference!

I definitely agree with @Sunshine2021 about how they handled the whole admission process, it really makes a difference and sets the tone for students perception about the university. I got prompt responses from Dean's and Directors when I reached out to them, and that says a lot,

I might not end up going to Yale, but I will certainly miss it if I don't.

Disclaimer: Some of my statements might be biased simply because I like to say nice things about things that I love 😎

I was in the first batch and when I asked about timeline they said 3-4 weeks from acceptance. Today would be 3 weeks so fingers crossed we start hearing soon!

Spoke to financial aid at Columbia yesterday -- they're running behind and told me financial aid packages would start going out "closer to the end of February"
 
Does anyone know when Harvard usually releases their decisions? I know they mentioned mid-Feb to mid-March but I'm curious if there's usually a date that they tend to release?

Also, did anyone apply to the MPH-65 in nutrition at Harvard?

Good luck to everyone and congrats on everyones acceptances!

Columbia is really off their game this year smh. It's not like we're waiting for financial aid info to factor into a decision that could land us with tens of thousands in loans or anything!

I applied really late (financial worries, didn’t know if grad school was even an option at first), I submitted 1/25, received 1/26, under review 1/27. I applied to the MS Epidemiology program, idk if that falls under this thread or not but it’s through GPH so I assumed it did

Wait, I had it wrong...Both 2019 and 2020 were Thursdays...I think waiting for 2PM just for you all is messing me up!

On the bright side, at least they've already released some of their decisions! I'm more frustrated that some programs haven't even begun releasing decisions yet like Brown and Harvard.

Anyone accepted to the AP-MPH program at Yale got any scholarship? I heard it's extremely limited for that program.

Can I ask when exactly you deferred? When is the best time to defer an admission?
Click to expand...
I deferred in June/July IIRC! Always worth reaching out to the school and asking if they have a deadline for doing so-- mine didn't at the time so I took a lot of time to really consider the decision and see how things were looking with my health/work/etc.
 
for those with acceptances to UMich’s HBHE MPH, how long was the response time for a decision?🙂 i decided to apply to a few extra departments at UofM because it was the only in state school i applied to!

I applied to UM HBHE Dec 1st and heard back Jan 15th. I think that was their first round of acceptances and I heard that in general, HBHE admissions tend to come out around now!

I think the small class sizes and the small student-faculty ratio is a major plus. It's also so close to NYC, making it possible to visit on the weekends and do an internship there in the summer. Moreover, I am really drawn to the possibility of taking classes in other schools and departments. It would be interesting to take classes at the law school, as well as in the psychology department.

My only worry is the small cohort. I hope that it's not too difficult finding people with similar academic and social interests.

Did they notify you thru email? Also, can you let me know your application submission timeline? I applied for the same program and still waiting on a response >.<

Hi! Yes, they sent me an email saying a decision had been made and asked that I log onto the portal. The official decision letter from the graduate division was there. This morning I received a congratulatory email from the HPM department. I submitted my SOPHAS app Dec.1st.

When were your Yale applications marked complete/routed for review? I’m not too hopeful that I’ll hear back today, mine was just sent for review on 1/21.
Click to expand...
same mine was on 1/19 but I saw someone on here with a rather fast turnaround time albeit their GPA was higher than mine. i have a hypothesis that some people on the fence are in a "maybe" pile and they are waiting for decisions from earlier applicants before they give us a decision. otherwise i feel we would have been rejected by now? idk
