For the people who accepted UF for medical, what are the types of physicians the site offers to shadow?

Does anyone know if for the people who are still "in review", our student action date is extended or not?

Im not sure, but it looks more like we will be practicing on dummies.
 
The thing is that SHPEP, or formerly SMDEP, has been running with many of these schools for quite some time. They really should have this whole process figured out already.

I hope you guys get your answers soon!!! I still don't understand what happened :unsure: Must have been a huge miscommunication between the program sites & SHPEP's national office.

It says 2 business days from the time the status is updated, I assume you will still have 2 days

Those of you who still haven't heard back, I can't imagine the pain you are going through. I am praying for you! You will hear back soon and YOU WILL GET IN. If you don't get in, know that you are still smart and beautiful people. You will reach you goals no matter what if you never give up on your dreams. Much Love!

I'm new to this thread.
Columbia- not accepted
Rutgers- site full
UAB- waitlisted
Hoping for UAB. I'm from a small state school. 4.0, good rec letter and ECs. URM.
Anyone else waitlisted for UAB?
 
Does site full mean you got accepted but the other people that got accepted already confirmed and filled it? or that they didn't bother reading your application because the site was already full?

On the shpep page it says all of those who are in review will have their decision by 5pm est

I think they accept the maximum amount of students all at once (which is ~80ish). So maybe site full means that they liked your application, but by the time they saw it they had already issued out acceptances? Not sure though :/

Well I think that if UT is your goal dental school, you should go to UT SHPEP! Spending 6 weeks with those on the admissions committee will help them put a name to a face and will definitely help you out! And for those who are still waiting, good luck!! Like it's been said before, things will 100% work out the way that they're meant to! Trust in God's plan and many prayers! No matter what, you'll reach your goal!

Hey, y’all!
I just heard back from SHPEP after having all these hours of waiting. All of these are for nursing!
Nebraska- Accepted
UCLA- Denied
Rutgers- Waitlisted

I think I’m going to go ahead and accept the offer from Nebraska even though Rutgers was my #2!
Stats:
-URM (AA), economically disadvantaged
-GPA: 3.06 at time of applying
-Really good letter of recommendation
-Strong personal statement—both personal and informational aspects in it
-Lots of involvement on campus and in community (Health clubs, volunteering, other clubs, CNA)

Congrats to everyone who got in; if you didn’t, remember that what’s meant to be will be; there will be plenty more great opportunities!

Hello everyone! I was waitlisted for LSU and was wondering what my best bet would be. Should I contact the university? If so, any ideas of what I would say? Congrats to everyone that has made it! Still waiting on Texas.

In case I forget later, it’s been a fun ride on this forum. Pretty unique people here. I may be here Monday night when I wait for Columbia’s waitlist decisions if I don’t make UT today. Feel free to send me a message and I would love to add y’all on social media!

Have most people in past years opted out of SHPEP and as a result, were waitlisted students chosen?
