Anyone know if U of Louisville, Rutgers and Howard are competitive? Reading this thread Howard seems like it is which surprised me considering their medical school, but I don't know about the others.

Not sure about the other 2 but Howard is a very popular and historic HBCU so naturally, it's competitive to get into anything with their name on it. Hoped that helped somewhat.

You've got this! but just to clarify the results come out at 12am Thursday so you won't even need to wait that long 🙂

24 HOURS GUYS!!!

 

[cvalrie78]

@cvalrie78 Hey! I'm a newcomer to this thread! But if you're considering Duke for Medical School, I would do their program. Some friends of mine did this last summer and all participants were guaranteed an interview for medical school upon applying (so I'm pretty sure they are going to continue with that).

really? I never heard of a guarantee interview being given just for attending a program. lol are they just gonna overlook MCAT shores and GPA? However, if that's true I'm def going to pick Duke.

Woah! I kept thinking that it would be Thursday evening at midnight and not Wednesday evening at midnight!

 

[whosehousedawgshouse]

I keep checking my application page guys... The wait is driving me crazy I can't even focus on studying for my chem final on Thursday 🙁 Btw, some sites released their decisions a few days early last year but is it still the case for anyone this year?

 

[The Bright Texan]

Y'all, it's a weird feeling. Sometimes, I am feeling like I will get accepted somewhere while other times I am feeling like I will get rejected everywhere.

Nope. Not here.

I had a feeling that's what you thought when you said you had to get through Thursday and then start the countdown XD

Hey eveyone,

First off, best of luck to everyone tomorrow! All we have to do is relax and realize that we put in our best efforts and that regardless, summer time will be great no matter what we are doing.

I am pretty anxious about tomorrow night. I applied to Columbia, UCLA, and UT. Now all we do is wait

 

[Destinyy10]

less than 24 hours!!!!! I'm extremely nervous!

I applied to
-UT
-LSU
-Howard

 

[pata1126]

I was asking this exact question earlier. The only thing I know is that, based on the wording on the SHPEP website, each site accepts roughly 80 people total so it cannot be 80 medical/80 dental. The breakdown of that 80 is what I am unsure of.

On a side note, is anyone applying to the other programs offered (public health, veterinary, nursing, etc.)?

I applied to PA and Public Health!

Question: where will the decisions be posted? On the view details part of the application?

Same dude, same. Trying to think positive thoughts over here though. We can do it!

Yes

[masc792]

Wow.. looks like a lot of people have applied to Florida. That's my number one choice for medical. I also applied to Houston and LSU. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Girlington1234]

I applied to UT, Rutgers, and columbia, Hopefully the time flies by and decisions are posted!

 

[tigerlily299]

I applied to Columbia, UW and University of Iowa! I'm already accepting an L from Columbia lol

 

[cvalrie78]

Lol everyone and their mama applied to UF. You can count me in that as well! I applied to UW, UF, and UAB.

 

[Smartgal]

Hi guys, if you get accepted to a program out of your state, will you be willing to travel out?

 

[Girlington1234]

I applied to Columbia, UW and University of Iowa! I'm already accepting an L from Columbia lol

Nah dont, you never know columbia might pick you! Think positive!

 

[Girlington1234]

Hi guys, if you get accepted to a program out of your state, will you be willing to travel out?

Yeah definitely, travel is paid depending on the sight you pick!

 

[Magnolia24]

Lol everyone and their mama applied to UF. You can count me in that as well! I applied to UW, UF, and UAB.

I'm dead your comment killed me XD. Current UF student and I can attest that their medical school is awesome. The people and admissions are so encouraging...went to a mini med school day they had and EVERYONE I talked to couldn't stop saying how blown away they were by the camaraderie, support of the school, and motivation everyone has here. <3

 

[L'enfantdeDieu]

Hi guys, if you get accepted to a program out of your state, will you be willing to travel out?

Yes, they pay for basic travel expenses. So probably a first class flight or train depending on how far you are.

 

[tigerlily299]

i cant even study for my final tmr bc of this, good thing the final's at 3:30 pm

Yes! I heard good things about them as well. I also heard this site great academically and socially. However, I've talked to some people and they are getting the vibe that going Gainesville is going to be like chilling in Miami or something. So should you tell them or should I? lol.

 

[perhapss]

Hi I’m new to SDN, good luck to everyone tonight! Did anyone apply for the Public Health program?

 

[The Bright Texan]

I hope I get accepted to University of Washington for Dental. Who else applied there for Dental? 🙂
Almost 12 hours till we find out. Just imagine when you apply to Dental school or medical school, what you would be going through the day when you find out where you matched! lol.

 

[Shayla Flowere]

I kind of wish I was in school so I would at least be distracted by class lol. I applied to UW, LSU, and Nebraska. UW is my dream med school and I really love that rainy Seattle vibe so I would be so pumped if I got in. Also don't they pay round trip airfare.

 

[leobio123]

I have to travel no matter which one chooses me (if any) since I’m all the way out in Puerto Rico.. worth it though. Plus the majority pay your fare 🙂

I applied to Columbia, UCLA, and UF for dental. I go back and forth in my mind what makes me a good candidate and what may work against me. In the end it just leaves me with an extreme amount of anticipation.

For those who didn't read my earlier post: I am a freshman in college in upstate NY, maybe that will increase my chances with Columbia 😉(which I calculated to have around a 6% acceptance rate for those wondering, but I have no idea how accurate that is since it is based on data from past years). As always, good luck to everyone. I am sure we will make the most of whatever happens!

You got this! Like you said, its worth it, its a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

 

[windsong]

LESS THAN 12 HOURS LEFT!!!! The suspense is killing me

 

[Anomalocaries]

I'm in orgo 2 rn, lab and genetics...I'm already up that wall XD

Much admiration for someone taking general Bio and Chem 2, Calculus, and English Comp. Good luck!

 

[SassyJunebug]

I’m in genetics rn at my school. It’s not that bad at all I’m doing really well, and same I’m taking orgo lab later after orgo 2 this semester

 

[leobio123]

I can't even focus on studying cause I'm so excited/nervous!!! I'm definitely staying up tonight

 

[chopin1849]

I'm sweating...this feels like applying for colleges all over again 😀

 

[masc792]

Lol everyone and their mama applied to UF. You can count me in that as well! I applied to UW, UF, and UAB.

See my friend who attended the program last year told me that most people were applying to Rutgers. Its also on my list of the top 3 med schools I'd like to apply and hopefully get accepted to.

 

[Magnolia24]

Much admiration for someone taking general Bio and Chem 2, Calculus, and English Comp. Good luck!

Good luck to you too! I applaud you for taking all of those at the same time.

 

[Anomalocaries]

Good luck to you too! I applaud you for taking all of those at the same time.

I need 30 credits a year (15 per semester) in order to be eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship, for which NY state covers the entirety of tuition. I still have to pay for textbooks, fees, and gas etc.

Oh and thanks, I hear Organic is fairly difficult, how is it treating you?

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

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.)
