Hey Im going to Yale this summer. I wanted to know if you did any cadaver work?
And what did you guys do for fun instead of hitting the books?
And what did you guys do for fun instead of hitting the books?
Me!Just confirmed UW, anyone else???
1)Based on my experience from last year, the sites that were already full had a status that said so. Since the program is a first come first serve type of basis, I think it would be safe to assume that they accept students until their spots are full regardless of application deadline.First off, I'm so happy so many of you guys have been accepted! Congrats!! I just have a few questions for those of of us who have completed our application after February 1st.
1. In your honest opinion, do you think all of the SMDEP sites are already full? I applied to Yale, Columbia, and Duke...do you think sites reserve some spots for the second batch of applications?
2. If some sites aren't full, do you think people who have already been rejected from all three of the sites they applied to will be contacted?
3. Will we get our results on March 1st or April 1st? the SMDEP website is kind of confusing.
4. Are there any other backup summer pre-med enrichment/research programs that we should be considering? (hopefully the deadlines haven't past yet!)
Thanks guys, and congrats again!!!
Hey, I found out about the SMDEP very late! Probably around the beginning of february. I just complete my application on the 15th (it sucks) but When I applied, Columbia site was FULL! I don't want to go to Columbia anyways. I'm from NY so I probably want to go away for the summer! I applied to Howard, Yale and NJ. I'm really nervous about their decisions!! And Congrats to everyone who got accepted already!
Does it matter if the letter of recommendations don't come from your major's field? becuase both of my recommendation letter came from Cal. professors.
I don't know if I'm a minority because.. I'm asian, but not really becuase I was raised in Panama so I speak spanish better than chinese. So the thing is that I just been here for 4years, I my family income is really low! like really really. NY is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!!!! and my father is unemployed. What are my chances to get in?
OmG, I'm going to be so depressed if I don't get in.. I REALLLY want to be part of this summer program!
Good Luck to EVERYONEEEEEE
When did you complete your application?
When you choose the 3sites... Next to Columbia said (site full)
This sucks...if Columbia is full my best hope is UVA (Which I think i'll get into) or Yale (Unsure about that). And if Admissions decisions come out April 1st........
Let's just hope they come out on the 1st
I want to get into Yale.. HOPEFULLY. I'm so scared.. nervous.
April 1st. It's fools day -__-
I don't even want to know none of my 3 choices accepts me..
Yale or UW??
When you say 'recently' do you mean you found out after the feb 15 decision date?Recently found out I was accepted into SMDEP Houston!! Will anyone else be attending here? I can't wait!
When you say 'recently' do you mean you found out after the feb 15 decision date?
Okay, I just checked the SMDEP 2011 Forum, and the people who participated from last year mentioned sites like Yale, Columbia, Duke, etc. still being open for the second batch of applications. Seeing that I completed my application pretty early for the second batch, I think my chances of getting into any of my sites won't be as bad as I previously thought. So don't give up all hope just yet, even if the website says they're closed!!
Honestly, I have a few other summer pre-med programs that I applied to in case SMDEP falls through, so maybe you should consider applying elsewhere too
Hey Guys I need help!
I am finishing my application before this Friday but don't know what places to pick! I just want to get in anywhere if I can because I really want to be apart of this.
Can anyone help!?.. please?
Also.. I'm confused about the decisions released on April 1st.. I thought they would be released on March 1st?
We should start a SMDEP 2012 Facebook Group guys!!
We really should! I think it would be great especially because from there we can meet others who are attending our specific location!
Exactly. I wanna meet more people who are going to Yale!!!
I made a fbook group for people going to columbia

http://www.facebook.com/groups/244601325625794/What is the name of the page?
Hi everyone, I know that two letters of recommendation are suppose to be submitted. I already have one from my college adviser, Who would be considered to be someone form my major field of study. Who would you ask
College Statistics Professor
Volunteer Director
Pharmacy Manager
I really would appreciate your response especially since the deadline is coming up. Can you please also state who you asked for the LOR

THANK YOU GUYS
.
In your place I would consider your College Statistics Professor, because you could tell you are in a good math. Since most of the freshmen/sophomore are taking Calculus (in New York).. I think you are in a pretty advanced math.
My LORs were from 2 math professors.
Hey thank you so much for the response. I guess it seems right to ask him. I would really appreciate a second opinion if guys don't mind sharing your thoughts.
Thanks
