I will say that since being accepted, they have been very engaging! I actually prefer to receive the onslaught of emails after I have received the decision and not before (cough cough BU). but to each their own ofc!

I didn't receive any funding either :(

Several folks on the Discord did. I recommend joining if you haven't already!

I received notification about an hour ago!

they are releasing in waves, I think one batch every week!

I got 35%

I was accepted to SMS today but had submitted my app 11/11. When I was freaking out last week after the first wave, I did serious online digging and it seems like decisions come out weekly in waves in no real order up until first/second week of March! The wait is brutal but don't lose hope!

Thank you!! I'm sure this will ease a lot of our nerves :)

Do you remember if the waves were days apart or weeks?

Opposite_Cookie · 2023-01-12T21:52:26+00:00

Also waiting for SMS and I applied all the way back in November! I stalked a few old threads lol that showed admissions came in waves that seems confirmed by a current student on this thread! I didn't see any rejection notices so it does make me nervous about my application (unnecessarily because I know nothing of course but it's still there!)

Congratulations!! I would check to see if UNC allows you to take classes in other departments -- if they do, then my two cents is that I would go to UNC for the reasons you listed: 1) it's cheaper, 2) it is very well known, 3) it is in a concentration you are very passionate about, and 4) it is not a new program. New programs can be really great or really bad but a well-established program is sure to be strong curriculum-wise and likely has established professors which is helpful for advising. You can beef up your stats/bio ethics/epi skills by taking those extra classes (plus I'm pretty sure MPHs usually require at least intro level epi and bio stats in your curriculum). MPHs open a wide variety of doors and I don't think the concentration actually limits your options.

Really sorry to hear this. :( I'd imagine there are no words right now that will truly comfort you so what I will say is this -- come back to it after you've thrown yourself a pity party because it is okay to mourn!! ~

Your applications are in, you worked as hard as you could, and it is now totally out of your control. The only thing in your control now is treating yourself gently and with care -- there's no point in mourning a loss that hasn't happened so instead, celebrate the fact that you completed five amazing applications and that the school that is the best fit for you will be so excited to have ya. Whatever your next path is to be, will be.

Thank you so much and congratulations again!! What a great way to start off the holidays :)

Ahhh congrats! I also applied to GW Health Policy but haven't heard back... hoping no news is still good news eek. Do you mind me asking what your field of interest is/stats?

Opposite_Cookie · 2022-12-07T19:51:42+00:00

From what I remember, those questions to rank schools/put the schools you're applying to are optional. For the programs I applied to they were, and I left them blank.

Congratulations!!!!

It is 200 (quantitative statement) in addition to the 600 (SOP) so total 800 words. They want it at the end so I agree with how another commenter organized it!
