Got an email from the counseling department on the 10th notifying me that I wasn't selected for interviews, followed by an official rejection letter from the university on the 16th. Pretty surprised I didn't even get an interview, but you never can tell with college applications.

Not going to speculate on this one, but they seem to be a program/school that filters extensively at the very beginning of the process -- presumably entirely on the metrics of scores and grades. Probably because they receive so many applications. Unfortunate because they probably miss a lot of really good candidates this way, but I understand given how long it must take to read every application. Congrats to all who were accepted!

Thank you again for your interest in the PhD program in Public Health Sciences at the Brown School of Washington University in St. Louis. I regret that we are unable to offer you admission into the program this year. We had an unusually high number of strong applicants this year, and the review committee had to make difficult choices among highly qualified and worthy candidates. We saw many merits in your application, and are confident you will make great contributions to public health science. We wish you the best in your future studies and beyond. (Email from the Director of Public Health Sciences)
