So I just got the financial aid award letter from ucla the estimated cost of attendance is $40,000. Tuition, fees and health insurance are $18,672, living expenses are $19,425, and the rest is books.... 🙁

Is anyone else still waiting on Berkeley for Epi?

They were the first school I turned in and now they are the last school to respond! I just double checked the email and they said they would get back to everyone by APRIL 15!! Woah!! That is cutting it close!!

I'm pretty sure it is a bad sign if I haven't heard from them yet, but I wanted to hear back from them before I make my decisions.
Maybe I will call on Monday ??

Yes, I am still waiting to hear.. I called recently to ask about my status, and the woman on the phone just told me that if I haven't heard, my app is still under review. She said I would most likely hear by the end of the month, "although technically we have until April 15th to let you know".

that is so inexpensive. Most schools cost $60000 and above, and aren't in places like LA.

So did they give you any "free" money ie grants, fellowships, traineeships,assistanships? or majority of loans?

Did anyone get an email from UCLA this morning about being on the waitlist? 🙁

That is a lot of money! Are you a resident too? You can't TA or something? WTF, $40k/year????

Has anybody heard from Berkeley lately (for MPH in epi/biostats)? They're the last school I'm waiting on, and I'm getting antsier by the day. I tried calling them last month, but they said I was still under review...

Did you get the email saying that you were waitlisted, or no? I got that email 2 weeks ago and don't anticipate anything until the end of April.

No.. I didn't receive anything from UCLA other than the email of acknowledging they got my application.. seems like they "forgot" about me.. T.T
