Do you guys/gals know how DD-Hopkins work? Is there an official waitlist? Or no news = axe?
hahahAsk him for a good time to call and then don't respond
Congrats!Accepted! DD UNC-Chapel Hill.
Neutronium - this appears to be a good cycle for you! CONGRATS!
Sorry. I was not trying to be sarcastic. I had assumed you gotten UPitt after speaking with the PD with regards to be on trauma call. That's my mistake; please accept my sincere apology as I was not trying to direct anything towards you.
I'm rooting for you. This has been a brutal/stressful/competitive year. I hope it all works out!
Also, for people still waiting, I talked with the PD for Pitt and she told me to still have hope b/c in her database, of all DDCRFs, it showed only 15 people had committed to a spot! There are roughly 80 positions or so and after april 4th programs do a "scramble" period where they offer spots to people that may have not even applied to their program. It wouldn't be surprising if emails go out this upcoming week/wknd for other places because most people dropped spots very late.
Good luck friends

congrats, Starsinthesky, for getting both offers!
I'd recommend the NIH MSRP over DD for the following reasons:
1. NIH offers a significantly higher compensation and provides all the lab supplies that you might need
2. dedicated researchers at NIH will most likely offer better mentorship than clinicians who do research on the side
3. you won't be able to get the NIH experience later in your career, whereas clinical research at a major medical center will most likely become a permanent part of your career.
4. Bethesda is likely a much more fun and comfortable place to be than most the DD sites.
I was wondering if anyone knew which international universities will continue to host the Doris Duke program, and also if there are any major differences in terms of selection process for international schools as opposed to the DD schools domestically.
this thread is awfully quiet. is anyone else waiting to hear back from HHMI friday? that being said did anyone else apply to study at K-RITH?
On the Doris Duke website, it says that this year is the last year for the program (very sad honestly, I was really looking forward to applying to this program), but it also said that the international program will still be available at various universities.

Thanks for your help.
Bump.
Anyone apply to these programs this year?
