I got into the Georgetown basic sciences program. Anyone know anything about it?

-How hard is it to get a committee letter?
-Are the grades curved?
-How's the school advising and help and the program itself?
etc..

Thanks

Did you try this?

Search on Georgetown and Gtown. Programs there get discussed in about 1/3 of the threads here. The SMP (if that's what you're talking about) is the standard of comparison.

Echoing what DrMidlife said....

Here is a link to the SMP thread which was on the very front page of this forum if you had scrolled down;

Hmm, actually this is a difficult search, assuming we're talking about Gtown's structured postbac (not the SMP, based on OP's post history).

Here's one: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=505161

And now there's a new sort-of-SMP at Georgetown, co-hosted by George Mason. Sigh.

I did search. Most everything I found was on SMP or outdated by at least a year. I am looking for basic sciences.

I saw this already. I was hoping there might be some new up to date information. Maybe someone is there currently and could enlighten me? Once again for the basic sciences, not the SMP.

"Basic sciences" is ambiguous, as is the title of this thread. If you call it Georgetown Premed Postbac, and maybe start a "Class of..." thread, you might get some support.

The only other thing I can offer is to search mdapps for grads of this program, to see where they've ended up. And maybe PM folks who posted in that one thread, see what they think. Please come back and post your findings.

Best of luck to you.

Why are you deeply saddened by DrMidlife trying to help you out?

I view it as a positive thing that people like DrMidlife, drizzt, guju, newmans - that take the time to read a lot of threads and help out wherever possible.

It's frustrating when I ask a question on a particular school and two people who have no novel or personal information hijack the thread. If you come to this site to help others out, that is excellent but don't post old threads AND accuse the person of not reading them. Posting information - such as an old pertinent thread is helpful, if the poster has already read them than they can pass by that post, but lecturing and accusing the poster offer little help and all posts could just do without it. Plus why waste your time?

I honestly do I appreciate you took the time to search old threads and post them in case I missed them. That should be why you searched for them though, with the mindset I missed them, not that I ignorantly did not read them. That's part of one's personality though.

Well you've shown a lack of reading the forum (for example you started a Upenn thread when we already have a 12+ page one and if you'd read it, you'd see your questions answered)

You've got a terrible attitude and i'm done with you here.

Good luck to you

Why would I post a specific question I had in a thread that was talking on a completely separate topic? And my question was not at all answered until someone pm'ed me.

Your posts won't be missed.

 

[emtdan]

I'm still interested in any information on Georgetown if anyone is of any help, thanks!

I believe someone wrote a pretty detailed review about that program in the rate your SMP/postbac thread.

 

[emtdan]

Wow that thread didn't even come up when I was searching. I searched for the thread though and found a couple of very helpful reviews. Thank you!
