HARVARD decision in my portal! No email yet. I'm too scared to open it.

1) Good luck! We are virtually supporting you through the decision!!

2) It's crazy that I feel personally invested in strangers' admittances and life decisions on a forum. The internet is an odd place. I love that there is a digital community to communicate with, since public health is such a close-knit/small field, and we often have interests that are too niche for a large number of people to share them where we are now. It's cool, but also wild that I'm like OMG I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT FOR YOU like I just got the notification myself 😂

Go for it! We are all with you! from what I know, the email from them will only say that the portal has been updated.

My hands are shaking typing this message, I can imagine how nervous you would be.

Any of you strongly against roommates? There’s just something about living with a complete stranger that doesn’t sit well with me.

I was thinking of getting a grad student apartment that’s 3B/3B but the other responses are making me want to live alone 😬 I prefer university housing because it comes furnished so I don’t know what to do

Congrats!!!! I'm in too, found out last night! Anyone know how long we might be waiting to hear back about the cash? Cuz I spoke with the admissions counselor dude and he said that they really wanted to tell us the decision and the money at the same time this cycle? Guess that didn't go as planned?

I am wondering this as well! My letter said I had received financial support, and then further down said I would receive information on this separately from the program I applied to. I hope it comes soon 🤞
 
Holy ****. I've been so so nervous about Yale...and I just woke up to see I've been accepted to Harvard for their 45 credit MPH. Im literally crying. Thank you all in this group for your endless support. I hope to see y'all there with me. GO CHECK YOUR FREAKING PORTALS. THE DECISONS ARE OUT

Wait a second. They might have Columbia'ed me. I refreshed the page and now the decision is not available. I swear to god...ill be so mad if this was a false acceptance.

When I was first applying I was completely against a roommate. Never thought this would be me saying this as an introvert but I realized I'd be moving to a new city alone and it would be nice to have someone around. Especially now since social distancing, it would be good for my sanity. If classes are online, I'd be so lonely alone. It's also very easy to isolate yourself when focused on your studies. So I plan on living with one (1) roommate and giving it a try my first year, so I can make friends/be social without having to pick up more jobs just to make rent.
 
Accepted to Harvard MPH 45 Global Health....wow. I'm speechless. This better not be a Columbia mistake! Thank you all SO much for your kind words of support. I agree with some of the comments people made about being nervous for the outcomes of other....I feel very connected to your acceptances as well!

Update: acceptanced decision letter is back up again. But it keeps coming and going every 5 minutes. After the columbia fiasco I'm not getting my hopes up until I get the actual email is sent out to check my portal which I'm HOPING will be later today.

I know you need time for this to sink in but, how did you know to check the portal? Did you get any notification?

I just knew that the Thursday after President's Day was a big day for Harvard decisions, so I was checking this morning randomly and then it popped up that I had a decision letter waiting. I haven't gotten an email from them yet.
 
Congrats to those who made it! Mine is still not available now. Does it mean I am waitlisted or rejected?

Did you apply to MPH-45 or MPH-65? Maybe they are releasing MPH-45 decisions now

Someone on SDN said their decisions was up...so my neurotic, anxious self immediately stopped everything I was doing to check the portal haha. No official email from Harvard yet. Although, now I've clicked an "acknowledgment" button that confirms I've read the decison and I've been rerouted to a new portal for admitted students

Accepted at Berkeley, Global Environmental Health (or maybe it was global health and environment...I always get it mixed up!)

received an email a few minutes ago to check my portal. So grateful, my alma mater wants me back 😂

I don’t know if this is purely a coincidence but I’ll add it in: Someone mentioned today they found out Yale marked their application as incomplete because their GRE scores weren’t received. I noticed my Cal portal said the same thing, and emailed them earlier today. Didn’t get a response but I guess it doesn’t matter now, though I think it’s possible something similar happened to my application.

Congratulations!! Can I ask for your Berkeley application timeline?

I've just accepted that financially, I'm probably going to have to have a roommate. Also, even though I consider myself an introverted person, it REALLY helps to have someone else around so I don't get bogged down in the rut of studying.

Which, that said... if anyone is gonna be in Atlanta and looking for a roommate, feel free to let me know!

I am pretty anti-roommate, I've been living at home for the last 3 years (during the pandemic too, obviously) and I am really ready to have a space that is completely my own. I survived with roommates in undergrad and it was fine but I just love the full independence and freedom of living alone! I'm planning to live alone during the first year and working to cover rent, and hopefully my partner can join me the second year.
