Official SHPEP 2017 Forum

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Com Coll student (start at UW next quarter), 3.4, URM, disadvantaged, and a ton of non medical ECs. Accepted at UW, denied to Columbia and UCLA. Which is fine because UW was my first choice! I confirmed immediately, anyone else going to UW?!

Did you receive an email when you confirmed? I did not when I confirmed. But, a forum member asked if others had received an email after confirming so I was just concerned that I did not receive one.
 
I got denied to Columbia, what were your stats?
Sophomore Bioengineering premed. 3.5 gpa. URM. Lots of experiences/activities that focused on community service and volunteering.
 
Only just now found this thread. Checked about 30 minutes ago and got denied from Howard. Other two are still in review.

I didn't get an email, but I'm all confirmed.

@UOP123321 we have two days to confirm! And I'm not from CA, but I currently go to school here.
 
This countdown gave me so much anxiety!! Congrats to all of you who got in! For all who were rejected, don't let this discourage you. You have MANY opportunities in other programs. Keep trying!
 
For those that have to wait until April 1:

I've been waiting on my other transcript to get received, I had to send in two. One got received and confirmed, then other still says not yet received. I called my university since it's been 15 days since it was sent, and she said it should've been received already. I sent an email to SHPEP but haven't gotten anything back. What do you guys think I should do... should I call SHPEP, and if I do, what should I ask?

Call them. Theyll ask for your shpep id number then theyll be able to confirm what they have and have not received yet.
 
Woahh my best friend who also applied got into all 3 schools she applied to, Columbia, UCLA, and Nebraska dang

Youre at GMU too right? were you accepted anywhere?
 
I tried to apply early but my application got processed after February 1st 🙁
Does anyone know which of the 3 I'm applying to is most competitive?
1. Houston
2. Florida

Thanks!
 
Anyone get accepted to Howard and/or UCLA for Nursing too?

What are your stats? I'm going to guess Howard would be the most competitive? I believe someone said Florida is new this year, and if your from TX I believe it's favorable for them.

Hi guys! I've been following this thread for a while but only just now made an account. I missed early application because my letter of rec wasn't processed in time. I am a freshman (technically sophomore) urm, have a 3.81 with 4.0 bcpm, volunteer at a hospital, and am in a few clubs? Do y'all think I'd get in anywhere?

Absolutely! It's well worth the try!

What do you have to lose? nothing. Just apply and wait for their decision. I would not get my hopes up to avoid disappointment but I will most definitely finish the application. You still have a chance. Also if I may ask, which schools did you apply to? Depending on the school your chances might increase or decrease.
