Hi, wanted to get some input on JHU vs Duke. Right now, my heart is with Duke as I have not gone to the Hopkins second look yet. My #1 priority is choosing the school that will take care of me, as I have a painful chronic condition, and money a close second priority. JHU pros: -received full...

I notice the MSAR often has discrepancies with the school website. For example, Einstein says the oldest test accepted is Dec 2021 on MSAR. On Website (not updated for current year…) - "For the class entering in 2024, MCATs taken in 2020 or after are the only MCATs that are acceptable.” I have...

Duke (total cost ~330k) Pros Currently living & working at Duke. Loved my experience here. Good community, have always been treated well here and owe a lot of my growth to Duke. Was my dream to get into Duke. 1 year preclinical and 3rd year research year - potentially could be really good for...

I previously posted this on CollegeVine’s community forums but I believe I can receive a more detailed, experienced response since everyone seems to have “been there, done that” when it comes to college applications on SDN—Thank You!! First and foremost, here is a piece of the email I received...

If you could do a ranked choice vote, where would you place each one, and why? I generally try to hold my cards close to the vest regarding what I’m thinking because I don’t want my own perceptions to influence people’s responses. (At least at first) All I will say is, you can take cost out of...

Did anyone apply to this program for this summer?

Hi, I was wondering if some of those who were accepted into Duke in the last 2-3 cycles could share a little bit about what type of applicant they were. Any information will be appreciated, but I'm particularly interested in knowing what you think helped you get in and whether you think research...

Which school would you choose to attend? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I’m wondering about the relative pros and cons between VA inpatient sites and university inpatient sites, specifically at places like U Michigan or Duke. I know the VA involves CPRS and a predominantly older male population that I would think shows less first break psychosis, mania...

Hey guys! I was accepted this cycle to Duke (eeeek!), and I have created an instagram page and a blog to help out pre-pt students, and document my journey through PT school (and life of course)! I recently started a PTCAS application series on the blog, and so far I have posted about getting...

hi everyone! so i just got accepted to Duke's DPT program and was accepted to Northwestern's a while earlier. Duke needs me to let them know early december while NU has given me till february which is great..but now i need to decide between the two. Duke doesn't have an open house date until...

It's weird because I've been reading through the forums and the Yale SMDEP website (it seems current) and I'm confused whether or not they still do it. If they don't, is there a similar new program at these institutions?

Hello! I am a 2017 Cohort of the sbsi program at Duke and I made this thread with hopes of meeting everyone who is attending .

Hello ! I did not see a thread for this program so I decided to make one.

Hi everyone! I'm currently a senior in high school and was recently accepted to Brown University. I was also waitlisted at several other universities, including the University of Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Wash U, Cornell, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt. After speaking to my...

I've made a pro/con list of both and I know where I stand on this so I'm not looking for someone to tell me where to go, I'm looking for input from people who have either gotten into both or who have attended one or the other to offer any snidbits of advice or information that you think would be...

Hey everyone! I was recently accepted for Campbell's DPT program! I interviewed on 9/30 and found out 3 days later, which was incredible. I'm just worried because the program starts in 3 months, and I still haven't heard back from anyone else yet. I applied to Elon, Duke, Shenandoah, Radford...

Has anyone heard anything from Duke DPT admissions yet for the 2017 first year class?

I am an international student who has been in the US for the past 5 years. Due to a previous unsuccessful medical school application cycle, this time I decided to try an apply abroad just in case. I am European, so I thought that applying to school in the UK would be a good call. Fast forward...

I was wondering if people with direct experience with these schools could chime in on whether it would be worth it to attend Duke over Mount Sinai, despite Duke being ~130k dollars higher in cost for me. I have reasons as to why I am pretty set on Mount Sinai such as: -its significantly cheaper...

Hello, I am currently a freshman at Duke University in Durham, NC. I am enjoying my time here and have made great friends. However, the cost of attendance is getting ridiculous. I will have to pay over $70,000 next year to attend school here. Also, I am not a fan of the super competitive...

Allow me to first say that I feel incredibly fortunate to in my current position. Medical school admissions can be such a crapshoot process, and I had very little expectations regarding how my cycle would pan out. I delved in knowing that my greatest strengths were my numbers and my greatest...

Hello All, I want to start a thread directed specifically towards communicating about interview offers and dates for the programs to which I have applied. UNC, Elon, Duke, ECU, and Winston-Salem State. Has anyone received interview invitations to any of these programs? Thank you!
