I was accepted into University of Michigan and New York University, but not this program. I would only apply if you have an extensive portfolio that demonstrates work experience.

Master of Public Health (MPH)

Regection hurts but I got into my first choice of CMU, so I’ll get over it

I interviewed in-person and am doing follow-up interviews still this week. I am posting this mostly as a response to the below posters. I was the original UW poster in this results section and while I do not know if interviews are completely over, there was a primary interview day for the dept that has passed.

To below poster: I received a similar email after I applied. No news yet. Hope we both get a position! Best of luck!

to the poster below, would you mind sharing which school/program offered tuition remission and job offer? thank you!

no interview. I'm a career changer w/8+ years of work experience in tech, but in unrelated role. Had design portfolio, but only of personal projects (and honestly they weren't anything special). this was my final program to hear back from. I applied to four, and got into 2 - including my first choice - and will take the one offering tuition remission and a job offer. If there's one thing I've learned in all of this application season, FORGET school rankings, and pick a program that fits with YOUR PROFESSIONAL GOALS! The two schools I got into were the two whose programs were closest to my focus (business + social innovation). I got rejected from the two whose strengths weren't aligned with my own - visual design (UW) and software development (CMU).

interesting that i got waitlisted... i got into cmu though

so sad

I could not believe my eyes. I was expecting to get an interview invitation, not an offer. I'm an international with a degree acquired outside of the US and it seemed like the acceptance rate for internationals like me was
