According to someone in the department, they were forced to severely cut the number of new grad students they were taking in due to COVID, mostly for recently-hired faculty.

Accepted off Waitlist

Rejection expected, as my research and career interests were more aligned with Johns Hopkins' DrPH program (where I did get accepted). Good luck to everyone!

Six individual publications, MPH from USF with 3.9 GPA, 2-years relevant PH work experience

I honestly thought I was getting rejected but I'll take it! GRE not submitted but included for perspective.

So happy to have heard this news! Top choice so most likely accepting but waiting for 2 more schools. Research experience, leadership, honors, high gpa, and test scores! Congrats to everyone as well

Tpb) thx for the reply. I mean I was interviewed and shortlisted. I am at least on table now. As you have heard, only a single student will be admitted Is/om each this year. So that is why I asked which one you belong to. I am a IS student and if you are Is too and accepting the offer I might not stand a chance then.

TPB: if you haven't heard from Kumar by now then you've probably been rejected

TTPB: Well yes, generally acceptances go out before rejections. So this is confusing indeed and I wonder what this indicates about our application status. Let's just hope that we get notified by the end of this week!

Accepted today for traditional track! Will probably end up declining, so hopefully that helps someone else out!

TPB) Are you OM or IS? Have you heard anything from Prof Anuj Kumar? TIA

Received acceptance today via Email for UCF Fall 2021-Traditional track. This was my undergrad university. CSD GPA: 3.95. Work and volunteer experience with children. Shadowed with an SLP and good LOR. No research experience. Will be accepting!

Email from PI that I am on the waitlist, but the Admissions Committee already said to him that it is unlikely they will reach my name.

I feel like the stars aligned for me!!! I truly cannot believe this! The best news! Accepted for Fall of 2021. Will probably be accepting just waiting on one more decision.

QUESTION, NOT an interview: I noticed that people were hearing back from USF at the begging of the week last week, but it seems that no one has posted about admissions decisions from USF in several days. I was wondering if anyone has heard back or knew when the rest of us may be hearing from admissions? Thank you!! (:
