Official 2018 SHPEP thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi all!
I accepted an offer at MGH SRTP this summer so I will be declining all shpep offers. I’m a URM with a 3.7 and credited as a junior. I applied at UCLA, Western, and UW. I hope I get one of you guys off the waitlist.

congratulations! what a great opportunity.
 
If you are central time check at 11:00 pm. I applied last year so I know the results will be there!
 
I think we should have a forum party the 15 minutes leading up to midnight, it’ll keep everyone sane. 😀

Does anyone know more about the health insurance requirement? Ths official website said they can help with those who don’t have it but some sites say they won’t (Columbia, and UCLA, for example.)
20 minutes ‘till our forum party, y’all! Be there or be square.
 
what would you guys do if your second choice accepts you but you get waitlisted for your first, since we only have two days to accept the offer and they take people off the waitlist 5 days later

That’s a good question. In my opinion, I would accept the second, but only because where I am from there are not many other choices if I don’t get in to this program.

I hadn’t thought of this actually. I would probably take the second choice. My first is Columbia.

I'll probably accept immediately. It's better to go to your second choice than not go at all

I have been thinking that over and I think that the best course of action, especially if you are a sophomore, is to accept your second choice since you won't get the opportunity again. It is a risky gamble. Any site you go to will give a great experience!
 
Yeah I agree I would be happy accepting any of the choices. Not really any other opportunities around here.
 
My biggest debate will be regarding my third choice. If I get accepted to my third, I could do a summer class but if I get accepted to any other and the third, I would not know what to choose.
 
Is it just me that just feels annoyed we have to wait, since the decision has most likely already been made and we're just waiting on some computer system to release our fate Regardless, good luck everyone! Hopefully if we're accepted to the same places we can meet up lmao
 
I think I will tell my stats shortly before the deadline. The anxiety and excitement are palpable.:soexcited::nailbiting:
 
yeah my heart rate is through the roof right now. My hands are getting really sweaty too lol
 
Oh my lord you guys I'm literally looking at a timer counting down the seconds right now
