PhD Applicants Fall 2020

Hi everyone, I didn't see any threads for current PhD applicants for the next academic year so I decided to start one so we can encourage each other through the application process ?

Any one else applying? If so where and what is your research focus?

I just submitted my applications to Emory, Hopkins, Penn, and University of Miami. I'm finishing up my MSN in December and decided to go straight through with a PhD. Hoping to hear good news come February!

I submitted my application to Hopkins a few weeks ago I believe we should find out by February for interviews. If you don’t mind me asking what made you decide on the Dual DNP/PhD program as opposed to selecting one over the other ? I know Hopkins is one of the few schools that offers a dual program and I haven’t met anyone who has applied so Im curious to get your take on what led you to choosing that route ! How long is the program ?

I got accepted to the PhD program at Indiana University-Purdue University Indiana (IUPUI) for Summer 2020. Anyone else applying to the same program and school, or anyone is currently in the program? It would be nice to get connected with you before school starts.

Hi! Good to see some friends here. ? I also submitted my app to Emory, Hopkins, Duke, UMich, and Penn. I have remote interviews scheduled starting in the upcoming week. It's making me NERVOUS!!! lol. I'm curious about what your research interests are.

Hi everyone, Im also interested in applying for the PhD in the next application cycle. My research interest is in cardiac- particularly how rural populations can getting manage their heart failure, as well as self care and depression in heart failure/ MI patients. I currently work on a general medicine floor with occasional heart failure patients- mainly patients with an CHF exacerbation or new diagnosis of HF. We get a lot of patients from rural communities.

How important is relevant clinical experience (i.e. working on a cardiac floor) important in becoming a successful PhD student AND future post-doc tenure track faculty? Or can we find other ways to get that kind of experience etc.?

For the people that applied to the PhD program at Hopkins. Have you heard an admission decision back yet?

Hey! No, I haven't heard back and Debbie said we'd hear yes or no by last week, right?

Emailed her yesterday. Our rejection letter should be in the mail if you haven’t gotten an email yet.. ?

Sounds about right! I didn't think they'd forget an affirmative phone call. Thanks!
