Official 2018 SHPEP thread

[perhapss]

For my waitlisted people, please do NOT give up hope!! Keep pushing! I was waitlisted to the program last year for Columbia (top choice) and ended up never getting accepted after reading that their site was full. This year, I reapplied and got waitlisted to two programs, yet still was not accepted to Columbia. It was hard to pick myself back up after this year's (and last year's) decisions. This past weekend, I was even beginning to make alternative plans for this summer if things hadn't turned out right. But afterall, I got accepted to the program that had waitlisted me (Rutgers). I even got in with over 60 credits! So please, dont give up hope! Even though some may not have been accepted, there are such grand opportunities like these, waiting for you in the near future (sooner than you think!).

Seriously don't give up!! I was originally waitlisted at two sites but I just got accepted into my top choice.

STATS:

I applied for Public Health at
Washington (Accepted and confirmed, originally waitlisted)
LSU (Waitlisted)
UT (Site Full)

URM, 3.92 GPA, good letter of recommendation and essay, volunteer with a community organization and intern at my university's office for community health.

Hey guys, has anyone heard back from UAB waitlist?

I requested my transcript from my university the second week of January, and it said 5-10 business days until they would send it out, so I thought there would be no problem. However, when logging back onto the dashboard to look at the actions, it said they didn't receive it until February 22nd

Right now I am just waiting on UAB and I was wondering if anyone has gotten off their waitlist yet

I’m not sure. The facebook group only has like 45 members but that could be because some people haven’t joined it yet.
