Does anyone know if we are supposed to get an email from our confirmed site that gives us more info on what we need and stuff for the program?

Haha no I honestly think it's cause I go to community college and they target cc students. I'm also involved on their campus already so that probably helped.

I just clicked on "create a page". You mean you need to add people first? I think you can skip that part!

Hi! I was accepted to Yale which saw my application the earliest by far (01/16/15). Columbia and Duke reviewed my app on 02/12/15 and 02/14/15 respectively so no wonder I was rejected, but it's totally fine because YALE 2015!!

Stats:
Freshman
4.0 GPA
Asian, economically disadvantaged
From NYC
ECs: ~7, research, volunteering
Pretty strong essays
Recs: Should be good

Where my fellow Yale SMDEP 2015 crew at?
Yale 2015 !!:highfive:

I'm really torn between Howard and Louisville. Any suggestions?
 
was anybody wait listed?
I might be, i
was anybody wait listed?
I might be. The application status was not posted for one of my sites while the other two were. All I can see are two dashes. Everyone knows what the application status is for all 3 sites and I'm sitting here in suspense, lol.
 
Anybody going to Case, feel free to PM me!

Congratulations! If you're going for the one that is more recognizable then I would say choose Howard
 
Anyone know what it means if my status for one of the schools is just two dashes? It doesn't say whether I'm accepted or not..

I think it means they haven't made a decision yet (or it's just not showing up). You should probably call the school on Monday and ask
 
anyone going to Yale PM me! I want to create a Facebook group page

Hi everyone, I'm extremely torn between Columbia and Yale. Both are very competitive and great programs. I'm just blessed to have been granted admission to both. I literally cannot decide at all. Help me please!

I did SMDEP Yale 2013 and it was definitely one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. Everyone there is invested in making sure you succeed. Congrats to all of you who have confirmed at Yale and make sure you really take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. Protip: Make sure you form a friendship with Dr. Black and Ms. Jackson
