I applied on Jan 13 and I still haven't heard anything from them... I didn't even know there was an interview. I emailed the administrative coordinator 5 days ago as well, and have not gotten a response. Congratulations on your acceptance! 🙂
I have and it's mostly like "Awesome that you've been accepted! Here's why you should come here." & then breakout sessions with your department for an overview and Q&A. Nothing over the top or to be nervous about.
But I def saw some hm65 acceptance already and I think they release in batches so Idk if they gonna have a second acceptance batch... Bro, I feel you hard.
I am in the same boat, my app was verified on 1/10. I had emailed asking for a status update and they responded a week later that they are working on it! I keep on getting psyched out by the hella recruitment e-mails about applying for the next cohort 😆
thank you so much!! I've seen that interviews are still happening for some other schools and I'm sure for upenn too- this cycle has been a bit longer than most. hopefully you hear back this week (and good news from Yale too!)
im so nervous! i like made a phone appt w them tm just bc i was so nervous to hear back and i impulse made one and now idek what to say to them LOL
I think roomies searching has been going on separately within different school groups. Have you been connecting with your school groups(Facebook/groupme/WhatsApp/discord🤯🤯)?
Hey! sophas verified my gpa as a 2.8 and I was admitted to the MPH & TM! I also had a strong upward trend, but to my understanding, at least the tropmed dept, puts a lot of emphasis on LORs and your SOP. Good luck <3
Let us know her response when you can! 🙂
congrats! what concentration?
Your Harvard Chan decision letter is not yet available. Please check back at a later time.
hi! thank you for reaching out to me.. i was losing hope with my applications based on what my decisions has been so far. you give me hope! congrats on committing to tulane, maybe i will see you there!
Hey! Just wanted to reach out too and tell you that there is definitely hope for you! I had a similar GPA (my stats are on page 52), but I truly feel like public health is a field that sees you as more than just a number. I went into this application cycle hoping and praying for just ONE school and really can’t believe I’ve gotten so much more than I expected. Just remember that you’re going to end up exactly where you were meant to end up. Keep your head up 😊
I got accepted to UCSD and am waiting to hear from SDSU and UCLA!
I don’t know the answer but as a WOC working at a white PH org... I hope grad school isn’t like this lol
It pretty lame. Dont even get me started on the Latinx crap. Im a mexican too. Citizen even. It is so rare to see representation for us that I get excited when I see a Mexican doing great things in public health.
I'm still waiting for GWU as well and I applied around the same time as you! I'm sure you're really nervous. Are you still waiting for more schools? Good luck!!! On your call with them, you should take the opportunity to express that you really want to go to GWU and the reasons why; keep it short, like an elevator pitch. Ask them more about your program and if they can give you any tips for improving a future application (if you would be interested in applying again next cycle) 🙂
I see what you’re saying! I think my main thing with the anti Latinx people are that they’re seeking to invalidate trans experiences which isn’t right at all. Latino/Latina/Latine work better in Spanish tho
first of all WTF UPenn???? that is not only unprofessional its just rude.
I have to interview for UPenn, but someone else posted in here that they got accepted into the general program that I also applied to without one. When I went to schedule my interview, I had to find a date like 2 weeks out because the calendar was booked. Hope your decision or request to interview is coming soon! The cycle is definitely still ongoing!!
Extremely unfortunate.
Wait, wtf...she sounds pretty ignorant...How does someone in her position even not know the difference between a refugee and immigrant, let alone just assume you are a refugee?! I have my interview next week...and she's supposed to be on my interview to, eek!
Heard from UCLA but no UCI
WOW, I'm appalled by what she said. I also interviewed with UPenn but had the Associate Director and another faculty member as interviewers. I can say that they were nothing but polite, helpful, and friendly. Sounds like the Director needs to check herself. Again, so sorry to hear about your experience!
still Berkeley for me !
Thanks for the info! Honestly I don't really care about an admissions to Penn anymore bc of MPHWH's experience, and because I've already gotten accepted to schools I like a lot more, but I still have anxiety about not hearing back from the rest of my schools.
You seem like you already know your answer 🙂
I mean you are not wrong, I just felt like I needed to consider all of my options and see if I was missing something 🙂
If you're trying to figure out how housing plays into it, assume that you'd pay about $1000/month in Boston to live with 2-3 roommates (source: I lived in Boston for 4 years). Over 2 school years, that's like $20,000-$24,000 just on rent. Not to mention food, T rides, and all that other fun stuff that comes with being in Boston. Is NYU an extra $20k-$24k more than BU?
