How were you able to afford to attend? Even with the MTS scholarship and potential 25k or other aid such as the public health grant, the cost is still insane to me. I haven't heard back from finaid yet but I'm wondering if you (or anyone else) have gotten grants from federal aid too
Congratulations!! What concentration? I applied in November but I haven't heard back yet.
Congrats! Is your name listed at the top and do you have the ability to view your decision letter? We’re not sure if the updated portal page is a glitch for some of us 😳
I don't! hahaha. It's just a comma.
Congratulations! When did your application go in for review?
Hi! thank you! For Epi. They take a long while haha
I am a JHU MPH student (11-month program). One of the requirements for the program is to have 2+ years of public health-related experiences. For me, I worked as a Staff Research Associate at UC Berkeley and made about ~$50-$60k ($20/hr) for the two years after taxes. Tuition for the 2020-2021 academic school year is $71,820. I barely make it by.
Lol. Well I guess that's that. Looks like I'm not in then 🙂 Congrats to you though!
Yeah our page looks nothing like this lol. Seems pretty certain that this is a mistake / glitch. Given that they made a similar error in 2017, this would be a HUGE mistake. Very bad look lol
Thank you. It was super messed up. I truly hope this isn’t the case for Columbia
I
I didn’t interview for HPM and was accepted (this was for the accelerated though but I doubt that makes a difference)
Hugeee error! I was really disappointed! I truly hope this isn’t the case for Columbia!!!
Stay positive acceptances come through all the way until March! And your in at Emory which is amazing so congratulations to you also 😊
Were you able to get any grants from federal aid?
Yiiiiiiikes. I hope they correct it asap so we know for sure tomorrow.
Unfortunately not. I was claimed as a dependent on my parents' tax returns.
CONGRATS!! was it through email ?
if you file independent than you get priority. Your parents would need to correct their taxes. Tax season does not start until Feb. 12, 2021. Since you are an adult then filing independent would most likely funnel more money as a whole since the tax breaks on dependents may not be as high as student or adult under 24 filing independent. My mother wanted to mark me as dependent so she could get the standard $500 tax deduction but if I file independent (I did) then I get a refund of $3,000. we could split that refund and both make money (I won't lmao)
I feel ya. We messed up our taxes big time. I usually leave this business to them and a tax agent, but that's gonna change this year. Missed out on the COVID-19 stimulus checks which would have been great help for my education.
Woohoo! Congratulations
Those links were not there before and my portal just had "application complete ready for review" (or something along those lines)
Did the CSS profile have to be done before 1/15 as well or can we still do it?
I've emailed a few hours ago, waiting on a reply.
I emailed yesterday evening and no response yet. I did get an auto-message saying to expect 3-5 business days for a response so it might be a while.
Yeah my portal just went back to the applicant one. I can still access the admit page by changing the URL but when I log in it takes me to applicant
Same ☹️
you really should.
Wow, same here. Beyond disappointed.
Yeah I wanted to my tone to be light-hearted but I really am pissed for y'all. They should have had that fixed last night if it was a mistake.
