Summary of Experience:
Snail mail rejection. Seemed worth the application fee since it\'s a screened secondary.
Summary of Experience:
Stoked to get the secondary, still waiting to hear back from down there. I would really like to see the program and explore the opportunities they have to offer.
Summary of Experience:
Withdrew after Case acceptance-- interview trail is getting spendy. The earliest interview date was not for at least three months!
Summary of Experience:
Withdrew after Case acceptance. Annoyed that it took over 2 months for my secondary to be marked complete, as I submitted it the day I got it. I would have liked to attend the interview, but the cost is getting high and I felt that if they really wanted me I would have received an earlier interview.
Summary of Experience:
What a way to start the interview cycle. Sets the bar pretty high for the rest of the programs. There are a lot of opportunities to craft a tailored program.
Summary of Experience:
The interviews were enjoyable and interesting. However, I left with some reservations about the program, which was surprising, especially after working, volunteering, and being treated here for years. Doesn\'t help that the interview was less than a week after Mayo. There are some interesting opportunities available and it would be nice to stay in Portland.
Summary of Experience:
What a pleasant phone call to get! Fun interview. Interesting interview day. Amazing global health opportunities. Not too pleased with the \"interview\" with the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Summary of Experience:
Fast acceptance. Great program, I was very impressed. This one is going to be difficult to top. Amazing global health opportunities. MPH for free. Fan-flippin-tastic.
