Hey Everyone,

SDNer JohnHolmes just got a full ride to Duke SOM!!!!!! 😱

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Rock on and congrats to him!

Yay for an SDNer...I dont even know him, and I'm happy for him!! Any body's good news is good news for me at this point :clap: :clap:
 
What exactly does it mean? Do you still have to pay room and board? What about books? Are those expenses a part of the full-ride too? That is really fantastic. I heard that Duke gives a lot of scholarship money. This is a good example. I only hesitate to apply there because I don't have any research experience. It's an unofficial prereq, right?
 
Congratulations to JohnHolmes!!

How common is it for a medical school to give out scholarships? I don't hear of it very often.

I'm sure he's ok with this thread.
 
Yeah, JH won't mind this thread at all. Much congrats, playa... your girlfriend was actually the first to tell me on IM! :laugh:

And to those that asked about his stats for the Duke scholarship-- they were the highest I've seen on sdn, outdone only by somekevinguy.
 
hey congrats are in order to JH!! thank God someone is getting some money for school. 🙄 😀
 
Yea! I don't even know him. I think I've been in the same room with him, though.

wow...word gets around huh...(i suppose mdapps prob contributes just a tiny bit to that)..anyways, big congrats to JH..brilliant guy no doubt.
 
👍 You must be very proud JH, and I'm sure you've earned this. Congratulations
 
Congrats JH, you definitely deserve it!
 
I don't think his name is actually John Holmes. If I'm correct, he went to UVA and he was one of my PR MCAT instructors. So John, kudos to ya, buddy (if I'm right about you or even if I'm wrong). You rock!

Hey, that's my first SDN post, isn't it?
 
43 MCAT can't hurt! Congrats from Uva alumni here.
 
Congratulations!
 
Yea man, thanks for helping me out with my MCAT 🙂 I'm the male kid in your early start pr class. I sure hope you read this. Gimme a shout sometime.
 
😀 😀 😀 Sniffle sniffle, I'm so proud of you dude. So, when are we celebrating you being done with all the madness, and everything working out perfectly? 😛
 
Free ride at Duke?? Amazing. Congrats, fella.
