Hi all,

I wanted to start a thread for fellow students who will be applying to Duke's MBS program for the 2023-2024 cohort. Good luck to everyone applying! I submitted for priority review and will provide any updates I receive. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season!

I didn't apply for priority decision so I am still waiting to hear back, anyone who has heard back would you be willing to share your GPA and experiences so that I can get a feel for my chances of getting in?

To add to dste's response, my overall undergrad GPA was 3.27 and my undergrad science GPA was around the same I think. I have a masters degree in bioethics (GPA was 3.67) which is where most of my research experience is centered. I would say research was a large part of my application to this program. I have research experience in bioethics and qualitative public health. My most involved research experience allowed me to travel to a well-known conference where our research was being presented. I had a lot of great opportunities during that project that allowed me to be more involved in presenting at large team meetings and drafting our manuscript. I've been working as a full-time ED scribe for almost 1 year which is where I have gotten most of my clinical experience. For my extracurriculars, I had leadership positions in student government and other clubs throughout undergrad. I also had a few different volunteering experiences from undergrad. Please also send me a PM if you have any other questions! Good luck!
 
Building off of dtse and bioethicsb (congrats y'all btw!), my overall undergraduate GPA was around a 3.4 and my sGPA was around a 3.2. I have a considerable amount of clinical experience through working as a medical scribe in the Emergency Department as well as in urgent care and primary care settings. I held a leadership position for most of time working in the Emergency Department. I also worked in COVID-19 vaccine clinics when the vaccines first came out. I've spent time volunteering as a tutor at a local elementary school (pre-COVID), in the Child Life department at the local children’s hospital, and at the local food pantry. I have some research experience, but it wasn't anything major; I worked in an immunology lab for a semester.

If you've got any questions, feel free to reach out! Best of luck!

For those who got accepted into the program, did you receive a scholarship offer in your acceptance email? I know the FAQ page said that our application to the program served as an application for the scholarships, but I wasn't sure when we get notified about that.

I didn't get a scholarship offer in my acceptance email. I think that the scholarship information will come out when the financial aid information comes out, but I'm not entirely sure.
 
Has anyone from regular pathway recieve a decision yet? I haven’t heard anything yet
