Hey everyone, I'm applying for the GT SMP, and I'm currently stuck at a step.

I am filling out the Graduate Application and noticed that:

http://grad.georgetown.edu/pages/graduate_programs.cfm?dept_id=25&show=admissions

Download the appropriate supplemental data form from the biomedical graduate education page at: http://biomedgrad.georgetown.edu/applications.html

I go there and all I see are online supplementals, one of which is the Grad application I have been filling out. Is there a separate document? I noticed in the Grad app that there is a segment just for the SMP program which I have filled out with my letters and my AMCAS primary.

Simply wondering if all I need to do is fill the Grad app or if there is another printable/downloadable that I need to fill out.
 
I never applied, but it looks like the only supplemental stuff you turn in is the AMCAS or a typed out supplementary data form.


Supplemental Data: In addition to the Graduate School application, the following supplemental materials are required to complete your application. Please make sure to identify each page of your Supplemental Materials with your name, U.S. social security number, and the semester to which you are applying (e.g. Fall 2009). You must complete either Option A or Option B (see below).


Option A: Upload a copy of your most recent AMCAS application in the Special Master's section of the on-line application. In the Personal Statement section of the Graduate School application, upload a document that reads, "see AMCAS statement". DO NOT mail a hard copy of the AMCAS. You may type, "see AMCAS" in the Academic Awards, Honors, Scholarships, Work Experience and Publication sections of the on-line application if they are covered in your AMCAS.

OR

Option B:
If you do not have an AMCAS application, please upload a typed response to the following questions in the "Supplemental Data" section of the on-line application. Some of this information is also requested on the on-line application-- you may type, "see Supplemental Data", in the duplicate sections of the on-line application.

  • Contact Information: Please state your current postal address, telephone number, and E-mail address.
  • Undergraduate GPA: Please calculate your cumulative GPA for science courses (biology, chemistry, physics, and math) and your cumulative GPA for all courses taken as an undergraduate. Please list both calculated GPA's.
  • Post-Secondary Honors/Awards: Please write a brief summary of your post secondary honors and awards. List in chronological order.
  • Extra-Curricular & Avocational Activities: Please summarize your extra-curricular and avocational activities, particularly those relevant to a graduate career, listed in chronological order. Include clubs you have belonged to, sports and intramural teams, etc.
  • Post-Secondary Volunteer, Part-Time & Full Time Employment: Please write a brief summary of your post-secondary employment history, both paid and volunteer, listed in chronological order.
  • Parents' Education/Occupation: Please provide your parents' names, occupations, and their highest level of education.
  • Institutional Actions on Academic Record: Please state "None", or list any actions and explain.
  • Personal Statement: Please write a brief 500 word essay (one page maximum), describing yourself, your educational goals and interests, your motivation for a medical career. Please upload this statement in the appropriate section of on-line application.

Looking at that page, there doesn't seem to be an extra page to print out from the website you quoted.
 
Just fill out the grad app. If you have an AMCAS already filled out then you can upload that otherwise upload a document with all the details listed on the SMP website. There's no other printable forms or anything like that. Good luck.
 
I managed to figure it out. 😳

I was reading different pages and they were telling me different things. As far as I can tell, if I have an AMCAS, I do not need a personal statement because I filled in "See AMCAS" for personal statement. Making sure that's correct.
