Let's have a big zoom party on April 15. It'd be so nice to actually meet you all. We might soon become co-workers somewhere too. Who knows. 1 or 2 years isn't that long.
I'm so grateful to have this community on my journey. ❤

Bruh!!! Don't do this to me. I am already logging in and refreshing your "Google Meet", hoping to see some update or change! My admission cycle is done but refreshing websites every 30 minutes has become a force of habit!!!!

Boston University just up'd my scholarship to 30% now. which is about $25,000. From 25% -> 30%
I am trying real hard to not think about expenses but dang is Yale so expensive compared to everything else.

Did you email them/do something, or did they just randomly up your scholarship?

 

[Pwny]

I heard from BU too! Went from 30% to 35% in scholarship. I emailed financial aid earlier this week with a request to be considered for more aid.

Wow so awesome! How’d you format the email, did you just request it or need to send anything with it?

I expressed how grateful I was for the initial offer, how much I admired the program, and how unfortunately like many other qualified applicants, my finances are a limiting factor and if I could somehow be reconsidered for additional aid. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help!

 

[girlonwheelsx]

BU also increased my scholarship from 35% to 40%. I basically wrote what I liked about the program and what I would bring as a student, but finances are a concern.

First make sure, you will have visa support as an international student to stay in the US with an MPH degree since all the programs you named are NOT STEM-supported program. So, no stay in US after one year of the degree if no other visa support available. Health systems/ health-related tech companies/startups rarely sponsor H1B for international student with an MPH degree but NGO and non-profit org. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the insight!! Yeah I am aware- wish they are STEM eligible though! I'm actually okay with that since I'm considering taking a job outside of the US.

Woke up to an $18,000 scholarship from JHU!

 

[rrcoffee]

Has anyone still not heard from BU or Brown? I feel very lucky to have gotten into Columbia where I think I'll go but I am still curious and hopeful to hear back from BU and Brown.

 

[jo2000]

I just got an email back from the HBHE Graduate Program Coordinator at Umich! She said I should hear about a decision this week. Going to be on edge ALL week now until I hear back!!! Ahhh!

 

[PotatoFarmerOnAPotatoFarm]

Has anyone heard back from JHU MHS in Epi? I applied on the deadline (March 1)...apparently some people hear back in a few days? 😳

 

[FlyingVet]

How many ppl are still waiting for HSPH 65 credit MPH?
Especially, for health policy?
Should I give it up??

 

[junnnn]

Me! I'm waiting on the SBS track - was hoping to hear something back this morning. I've only seen 3 people post their acceptance to the SBS-65 so far...

What dept?

 

[junnnn]

What dept?

you mean the waitlist? Health management. I got waitlisted last Friday

 

[ka786]

ah, just got rejected from harvard - 65 :/

 

[MPHSeekerrr]

BU increased from 25% to 30%! For those asking, I wrote:

• I'm thanking for the opportunity and the funding awarded.
• Here is why I think I'm a good fit for the program.
• Here is why I think I, and my career goals, embody the school's mission.
• Funding is a huge decision factor.
• Thanks again.

Also for those asking:

• Jen Farkas (finaid director) at Yale says they do not increase awards. I did have a conversation with her about other funding opps and looks like there are a lot of on campus jobs that can probably float your living expenses.
• GW will consider you, I sent what I wrote above. They replied to send other offers. I sent. They said they'd get back to me around the 3/15.

just got rejected from harvard HSB65 - not gonna lie pretty disappointed

 

[coffeebeans6]

does anyone know if nyu increases awards/scholarships?

 

[aev20]

Have people received merit or need-based aid from JHU for the MSPH program? I haven't seen people post about this so wondering if they do not give out much/any aid?

 

[Kroy_Wen]

rejected Harvard HSB 65. One step closer to making my final decision!!! 😂🎉

 

[ka786]

[jimin_]

[mphwannabe123]

I got an email to check to Harvard portal...based on what I’m seeing I’m guessing it’s a rejection 😂

 

[ssyw]

👋 joining the mass rejection day at HSPH!

 

[sero_tonin]

Rejected from Harvard MPH-65 in HSB 🙁 oh well, at least I know now

 

[PriFromThePNW]

Hello, Harvard MPH-65 in health policy reject over here! At least that wraps up admissions season for me. Hella disappointed though, it was my top choice :’(

 

[buddyyyyyy]

Rejected from Harvard 65 Credit for HSB. That closes out my cycle!!! Now for the decision....

 

[gradschoolhopeful]

Rejected from HSPH SBS-65. 🙁

 

[sero_tonin]

Probably going to Yale at this point! Just got rejected from HSPH MPH-65

 

[midomashakil]

Rejected from harvard but jokes on them cause i wasnt gonna go there anyways. Consider this my official rejection of Harvard. You were okay but there are many other qualified schools. Please consider applying to have me attend again next year.

best regards,

 

[FlyingVet]

Yay happy rejection day 😂
Joining the rejection club. Now finally I can make my final decision, Emory!!!!

 

[y_arnball]

[mph_applicant43796]

[zubear]

@FlyingVet You will soar high at Emory!!!

 

[buddyyyyyy]

Okay speaking of decisions... Has anyone heard from U Washington about aid? If so, what was the timeline from when you got your decision?

 

[new_here]

Did anyone not get a scholarship from Yale after the 10 day window? I believe I've seen scholarships ranging from $20,000 - $60,000, but I haven't seen more or less than that so far

Bringing this up again since it was posted on the weekend and not too many people were on.

 

[psepi39]

Is anyone on here still waiting for the majority of their decisions? I applied to 4 schools and only heard back from 1 and now I’m getting super worried because commitment day is less than a month away and I am worried about having such little time to decide. Especially since I applied to local and out of state schools and it’s a big decision to make. I almost wish they would move commitment day or something since almost all schools have had delays in releasing admissions this year....

You should definitely follow-up with the ones you are waiting for. I agree, it is kinda getting late.

Are classes at JHU online or in-person this fall and onward? I looked through the website but didn't really find a definitive answer

 

[KingofMaskedSinger]

From the emory admitted students welcome webinar: "The Office of Financial Aid has started to award and post packages in OPUS. In addition, we continue to offer Institutional Awards on a Rolling basis. At this time all of our merit scholarships have been awarded. If you completed the FAFSA you will have a package before the April 15 enrollment confirmation deadline."

 

[ssyw]

Hi everyone! I am 99% sure I will be joining UW for their Community-Oriented Public Health Practise cohort. Bit of a niche and small program. Curious as to if anyone has been accepted or has decided to enroll? Would love to connect ahead of the admitted students week 🙂

Also VERY excited for our April 15th Google Meet. I've already blocked off time on my work calendar lol

PLEASE TURN ON YOUR CAMERAS if you can! It would be so great to finally put a face to a...username! 😛

On one of the webinars they mentioned that the final decision would be tentatively announced from the university the first week of April.

Thank you! 🙂

Got awarded $24k from Johns Hopkins! Very honored. I didn't get anything from Harvard and this would make Hopkins $48 versus Harvard $85. They were basically tied at the top of my list so this might push Hopkins over the edge!
