Congratulations! Just out of curiosity, you have amazing stats so made made you want to apply to an SMP program?
Thank you! The biggest reason I applied is because I'm an international student, which has made getting an interview/acceptance from any medical school in the US extremely difficult/impossible (mostly due to the fact that schools that take internationals tend to be T20 or take over-qualified students over traditional undergraduates). I wanted to do something competitive yet meaningful during my gap year and Duke's program was unique in that it has a strong medical basis and incorporates clinical experience into the curriculum. Plus, it has some ties with Duke's SOM and will complement my undergraduate education pretty well 🙂

Oh that makes sense. Congratulations once again and I’m sure you’ll do well in the program. Good luck!

Just got my acceptance call 2 hours ago - Congratulations everyone! (Also having a hard time deciding between this and BU MAMS, if anyone can speak to this, I'd really appreciate it!)
