Hi there.

The visit day was very fun. There was a presentation by professors and by students, a lot of Q&A, a fun pizza lunch, and an interview with a professor.

The interview was very conversational in nature. We walked through my resume and then discussed my thoughts on what good leadership is.

I think that everyone had a good time.

Let me know if you want to hear anything else.

I just got a message from BU saying they received my additional info and will try and get back to me within 2 weeks.

Interesting..I haven't received any acknowledgement that they got my additional info, but I sent it by email directly back to the email they sent me, so I can't imagine they DIDN'T receive it. Starting to give up on BU though, its been 12 weeks. This is just silly now.

 

[RememberWhen]

Congrats on UNC! When did you submit your app? I'm still anxiously waiting

It was mailed out from SOPHAS on Jan 3rd

 

[gumbyj]

Any chance anyone has heard anything from Columbia?

I haven't gotten anything from them whatsoever since I submitted my app.

Haven't heard a peep. I thought that those who submitted by 12/1 got early decisions. Ha!

Any chance anyone has heard anything from Columbia?

I haven't gotten anything from them whatsoever since I submitted my app.

After I hadn't heard anything for 2 weeks after every other school confirmed receiving my app, I emailed them. They replied confirming they received my app, but no other information.

 

[ralphontime]

Hey ralphontime....thanks a million on your feedback.

UCF was my top priority anyway, I have accepted their admit. Have to start working on my I-20 now.....

By the way any idea as to how are the job oppurtunities post graduation??

It would be great if you can share some thoughts on this...

So, which ugrad program are you in at UCF?

UCF is awesome! You will love it! I am in the Health Services Administration undergraduate program and I love it. I have had great professors and challenging courses. I hear the grad program is much harder, so be prepared.

In regards to job opportunities, you have great options because UCF is located in a large urban city: Orlando. I am currently interning with Florida Hospital, which is one of the biggest hospital chains in Florida. There are also opportunities with Orlando Health, another large system with several hospitals in Orlando. UCF has a great internship program and a lot of people get jobs after. Talk to Dr. Oetjen or Dr. Sumner if you have any questions. Hope that helps!

After I hadn't heard anything for 2 weeks after every other school confirmed receiving my app, I emailed them. They replied confirming they received my app, but no other information.

I emailed them yesterday, and they said it will be a few more weeks. I think last year people started hearing back between late February and late March.

Once again thanks for the info.....

Well, with respect to the grad program, I think am more the prepared for it. I have been waiting since 2yrs to make it to the progam. You really have thrown some light on the program, I really appreciate that. As you said I will probably get in touch with Dr. Oetjen or Dr. Sumner for further details.

Lastly How are funding options,as UCF is a public university?

Just received an acceptance email for university of Minnesota!

Congrats! 👍 Did they notify you of any scholarship info anything like that? I received an acceptance from them as well but haven't been told of any other info.

 

[Truelotus]

Same here. I called and they said we might hear of awards in March or to call dept. My email had a video and no other written info like adviser, etc. Hope to get something in the mail🙂

 

[Miss EHS]

Unfortunately all I received was the video. I'm hoping to hear more about funding in the coming weeks.

 

[TV88]

Got into Emory HBHE!!!!!!

 

[JulieBean]

I applied to the Hopkins full-time MPH and am eager to hear back as I see some folks on other forums have heard.

Anyone hear heard good or bad news from Hopkins recently?

I sent in my application quite late (long story behind that) on December 20th (they let you submit up to a month after the official deadline which was December 1st). I know they processed it on January 2nd, but have heard nothing back yet.

Sounds like it could take 8-10 weeks, in which case I'm waiting about two more weeks to be on the early side of that.

I'm getting eager to know! 😳

 

[Jamiefrances]

Got a no from Yale; not really surprised, but I could use some good news.

 

[Truelotus]

OK, cool. Same boat 🙂
kinda odd the video.

 

[Truelotus]

You ARE going to get in some where and it is going to be GREAT🙂 Stay positive my friend. I was crushed when I got denied by Hopkins, but I'm not out of the fight yet..hehe

Aw, thanks, it's just been a tough few months in my personal life so I was hoping to start with good news--but hopefully better news will come for both of us, and everyone else whom got bad news initially.

Good luck to you! 🙂

I would totally celebrate! Congratulations! The "Graduate Division makes officials admissions decisions" is a formality in the UC system because in reality it is the individual programs/departments who choose the applicants they wish to offer spots on the course.

Congratulations again! 😀

UCLA was a top choice, I'm thrilled! Good luck, all!

Congrats!

When did you submit your app? When was it processed? When did you hear back and how? (I've heard that in the past, Hopkins hasn't sent notification emails, which leads me to frantically check the website quite regularly....)
