30k. Slightly frustrated because even though they call it need-based aid, they do apparently factor in merit as well. I’ve seen a few people getting 60k but nothing in between 30k-60k. Its a huge range and I want to understand the threshold of 30k to 60k jump... but no straight answers.

better than zero i guess. 30k is what i need to make an argument for yale sph. Something that amazed me was how expensive New haven was for rent despite being a town of 100k pop. not looking forward to school debt+ high rent

Did you get $0 in funding from YSPH?

for everyone accepted into BU, what program did you apply to and when did you submit??not me just scrolling through while im still waiting for my email 😅

Have you still not heard from BU yet? - I am still waiting as well.

 

[pzap27]

Just got into Brown!! A bit surprised, didn't expect to receive a decision on a Sunday

Me too! I wonder how long it takes for the letter of financial support to come.

Me too! I wonder how long it takes for the letter of financial support to come.

Are scholarships usually stated in the acceptance letter? Or do they usually come later?

 

[pzap27]

In my acceptance letter, it says "I am pleased to tell you that you have been awarded financial support from your program" and that the amount will be revealed later in an additional letter.

 

[girlonwheelsx]

In at Brown with “financial support”

 

[bagofhammers]

When did y'all send Brown your apps? I was super late (1/5) with mine and just want a point of reference.

I sent mine in a bit late too on 1/7

 

[bagofhammers]

Oh, no. That's not good for me then! Grats to you guys, though. 😀

 

[ColdSore200]

Damn I submitted to Brown on 12/16, looks like I should ex that one off the list unless they skipped me for some reason lol

 

[girlonwheelsx]

Oh, no. That's not good for me then! Grats to you guys, though. 😀

I wouldn’t count yourself out. I was in a similar situation with BU and got accepted

 

[kreinhart99]

when did you get accepted to BU I'm still waiting!! applied 11/25, confirmed 1/25

Same here!!! No financial aid as far as I can tell 🙁

Edit: nevermind yes on financial aid but details in another letter

 

[girlonwheelsx]

I was confirmed 1/21! I was accepted on 2/7, did your personal link change yet? that’s very accurate

 

[kreinhart99]

wow, you got accepted quickly! Congrats! the first name last name /landing one? if you are talking about that one no it hasn't changed. I don't know why I haven't heard I applied quite early. What concentration are you?

I know there are a handful of folks here looking at an MD post-MPH, but are there others that are considering a PhD? Just curious!

I’m am! One of my mentors recommended an MPH to solidify my practical skills and learn how to apply public health research. I’d be happy to bounce ideas off each other about what to consider in programs - just dm me 🙂

 

[qcl1009]

I am as well! 😊 I'm using the master's program to learn more about my interests in epi as well as pick up some very necessary skills for public health

anyone here moving regions? I live in the south and moving up north most likely and I’m gonna miss it

 

[ColdSore200]

I will (most likely) be moving from SoCal to the east coast. I've moved cross country before through, so it'll be the same thing I guess, just permanent this time.

Same here! I’ve never even been to the east coast but I’m excited to try something new.

Me !! Hoping to gain more research experiences through a masters program

 

[dancergirl11119]

Considering a PhD! I'm really interested in learning about new research methods and want to sort of combine epid and intervention design to make an impact on global maternal and child health outcomes 🙂

 

[dancergirl11119]

Since a lot of people have all or most of their acceptances now, it’s time for the next step in this dreadful process and make a decision.

I’d like to know: What are the factors in making our decision? What are you comparing against for each school/program?

I am torn between schools, specifically UW (in state tuition) and Emory, and need help. So i’m curious how you all are making your decision!

I'm looking at flexibility of curriculum, cost of attendance/living, accessibility of faculty, school and program network, and strength of career services offered at the insitution!

 

[dancergirl11119]

Can anyone here speak to epid career outcomes for Yale MPH grads? I'm having a hard time finding some specifics about that

 

[mph_applicant43796]

I know there are a handful of folks here looking at an MD post-MPH, but are there others that are considering a PhD? Just curious!

I'm thinking about a PhD or a DrPH (unsure which is suited better for me lol)....not really sure yet though. i've been eyeing a couple programs of interest. guess it depends where I am in life after my masters. maybe after I work a few more years post-MPH.

I'm not 100% sure about it but it's something I've been considering recently!

 

[iFky99]

For those who applied to Brown, did you pick a concentration when you applied? I really don't remember picking any of their available MPH concentrations

 

[futuremph2021]

Is there a FB page or GroupMe for Brown Admitted MPH students ?

There is a FB page. The link was in the admission email.

 

[girlonwheelsx]

If I remember correctly, concentrations weren’t available on the app. so I made sure to state that I intended to do MCH.

Oh, I see. I didn't state specifically which of their available concentrations I intend to do lol. Guess students will be picking their specializations later on?

Moving from Southern California to the east coast 😬 either Atlanta, New Jersey, or North Carolina. Tbh I haven’t been to any of these places except NC for a few days when I was in elementary school 😅😅

 

[futuremph2021]

I chose my concentration on SOPHAS.

oh no I am still waiting. I was speaking in a general manner.
fingers crossed for max scholarship lol

Graduate Degree in Public Health Admissions | Yale School of Public Health

Our graduate programs offer world-class instruction in all areas of public health. Learn more about our student services, financial aid & admissions process here

publichealth.yale.edu

the math adds to 100% though which would make it the highest post-grad outcome of any school ive seen(UIUC was 99% work or school after grad). 73% i think get jobs the other 27% continue with school somewhere else

 

[OnePotatoTwoBobs]

Looking through all the tuition info, faculty lists, and housing options in all the places I might move to is like a full-time job.

still waiting!! we must be in their final batch. i did community assessment, design and implementation

 

[natalieminaa]

anyone here moving regions? I live in the south and moving up north most likely and I’m gonna miss it

yes! moving from Seattle to Atlanta most likely 😳 i’m tired i’m moving around (moved to seattle from san francisco for undergrad) and i don’t think this will be a permanent move either but it’s worth it right? 😅 it’s definitely bittersweet!

 

[pzap27]

I’m from ATL @natalieminaa, if you have any questions about living in the area feel free to DM me!

@PrePtDreamsRVA I’m also moving up north from the south! Definitely going to be a big change

I am torn between schools, specifically UW (in state tuition) and Emory, and need help. So i’m curious how you all are making your decision!

I had a similar situation in terms with choosing schools. I was accepted to both the University of Minnesota and UT-Houston. I'm a Texas Native and UT- Houston is significantly cheaper then Minnesota, but they had some things I didn't feel would work with what I want to do in my future (hopefully), and the environment I wanted to surround myself in. For example, classes are dispersed through different campuses meaning a portion of your courses would be on ITV, and I need to at least be on the same campus as my professor even if it'll be zoom university. Also, when communicating with UT in my experience they weren't as welcoming as Minnesota, and for me seeing this as an applicant made me wary of how I'd be treated as a student there. For me the only pros of Houston were being close to home and tuition, and those were the only cons for Minnesota for me so for the experience and future I'd like build for myself I chose Minnesota. Thankfully I was awarded in-state tuition and praying for more funding.

Lots of anxiety on decisions. Also got into UW, Brown. Its a toss up between tuition, possibility of scholarships/fellowships, cost of living (young children), dog friendly housing etc. My head is going to explode. Not psyched about moving across country.

Tomorrow's the big day...MARCH 1ST! I hope all of us get those decisions we've been waiting for from our dream schools/programs!

Current mood:

 

[ariengo]

Anyone ever get tired of having to explain to others what it is that they're studying? I know PH is a growing field but there seems to still be a lot of misconceptions and poor understanding of the career paths.
