anyone applying for Doris Duke?
Started by Heartolgist
for people who applied, did you get a confirmation email or anything from any of the schools?

Most schools sent back confirmations. This post is more than a week old, so no doubt you've gotten confirmation by now.
anyone mind sharing what schools u got confirmation from? ive heard back from unc, sinai, pitt
UPitt
Columbia
MSSM
UI (interview)
Not UTSW
These are the only ones that I applied to. I know the list seems eclectic, but I had specific reasons for applying to each one.
The only interview invites that I know went out are UPenn and UI. I hope this helps.
I had kinda written off DDCF awhile ago, but I didn't know Pitt participated until I saw it here. As I've looked around, I see that Pitt's got a lot going on in CV and Resus, both of which I'm getting interested in. Why did you apply there? PM me if you want.
Thanks.
UPitt and JHU were added recently to the Doris Duke sites.
It wasn't as much the school's CV, etc. that drew me to apply...I am hoping to work with one specific investigator. If I'm accepted there, I know I can finish quite a bit in 1 year working with him.
Good to know.
I understand. If I was meeting with prospective mentors, I'd state up front that I want to be working on at 3-4 projects at any given time for the entire year (i.e., one starting up, one in the testing phase, one being written up).
Just for clarification, CV = cardiovascular.

I'm not sure anyone knows this except the program directors. It was asked last year too and nobody seemed to know the answer.
I'm a little worried that the number of spots they offer is based on how much money they have earned in interest on an endowment. If that's the case, and with the market being the way it is right now, things could get mighty competitive this year!
Do you mind me asking when you got a confirmation from UCSF? I never got one... only got one from Columbia. Thanks.
Pitt does not have in person/phone interviews. They will notify in March. UTSW will phone interview you at random times, typically in March. I think UNC is the same as Pitt.
In addition WashU does not interview. However you have to write a research proposal and they are willing to fly you out to St. Louis to meet with your mentor, and sit in on a Doris Duke meeting and meet some of the current fellows if you want. They let you know in March if you were accepted.
