To those who applied to UCLA,

I called SMDEP office, they said that UCLA haven't made any decision yet. UCLA will get it done by today PST.
 
hey.! accepted in case & UMDNJ.! Does anyone know the stipends?🙂
 
Accepted at Case and Columbia, and waitlisted at Houston for dental! Confirmed at Case.

Who else confirmed at Case?? I can't find the facebook group anymore
 
Hey everyone! I applied to UW, Columbia and UT Houston...Sadly, I got rejected from UW and Columbia is full 🙁 I was really hoping to get into Columbia...Oh well, everything happens for a reason...Im wait-listed for Houston, was just wondering if anyone got in after being wait-listed, I don't want to keep my hopes too high.
 
Applied to Columbia, Duke and Nebraska. Columbia was full, rejected at Nebraska and waitlisted at Duke.

Not a URM though so I wasn't expecting much.
 
hey guys, i got into UCLA and new jersey.

I'm leaning on going to ucla. What do you guys think?
 
I am debating between Case and Virginia! Any suggestion?
Wailisted for Washington.
 
Who got accepted to UW, I am excited to be there this summer!
 
going to University of washington too!....I'm pretty excited as well

Since Yale is only Medical, how many people are usually in the program?
 
I was rejected from the University of Washington, and Columbia said it was full. I STILL have yet to hear from Duke. I called the national SMDEP office yesterday and they told me that apparently Duke hadn't released a decision for me yet. I've been making calls to Duke (which they haven't answered and the voicemail box is full, 😡 ) and sending e-mails, but still haven't gotten a response.

What should I do in this case? I'm going to call the national office again, but this is troubling...
 
Congrats to everyone! Add yourself to the list!!

Does the UNMC SMDEP 2010 class have a facebook? Oh, and to the person who asked if the waitlisted status changes... It does. Keep your hopes up! 👍 Good luck!

For those of you who got accepted into UW, is there a facebook page already? We should get one going. I'd like to meet some of the people who will be attending!
 
Hey everyone CONGRATZ to everyone who got accepted thus far. My name is alex and I attended UMDNJ in summer of 2009. If anyone has any questions regarding any program sites feel free to message me. I am an SMDEP Ambassador, so I pretty much know all there is to know about SMDEP. lol I am also the person who created the SMDEP 2009 site on Facebook.. many people find a lot of answers to their questions there, and it would be a good idea to start a page on facebook to start meeting other pre med and dent students like yourselves, that will be attending your particular site. Some of you will start beginning the program in less than two months. SO EXCITED FOR ALLL OF YOU!

CONGRATZ again and make sure to STAY FOCUS and most of all.... . .

HAVE FUN!!!!! =] This will be a summer that you wont forget.

I haven't seen a page, but I think we should get one going too!
 
I've been accepted to uw, I live close by and have an option of commuting or staying in the dorms, any suggestions?

Based on what i've heard around my site (columbia) people's gpa's have varied significantly. The highest I've heard when people are talking (which probably is no where near the highest actually) is something like 3.85 whereas the lowest I've heard was close to 3. A lot of it depends on your application essays, LORS, and your personal situation. Your best chance by far is to complete it by February 1st. Columbia had over 1000 applicants for only 80 slots so keep that in mind! Before I applied, I called all of the sites I was interested in and asked them what they looked at. I am white so that put me at a natural disadvantage to the program (I'm still under-represented) at some sights. When I called UCLA, they basically told me they wouldn't even consider me for the program. So I suggest talking to each program you want to go to and finding out what they stress for applicants. Each program is different!!

AWESOME thanks.. I'll definitely apply early! By the way, I'm Chilean.. does anyone know if that is considered an under-represented minority?
 
In the application process, do they check for financial background?
 
They ask you what your financial background is and I would definitely suggest that you DO NOT lie because they will figure it out.... there were wealthy people there and people who were not economically wealthy so it basically came down to how well you wrote your essays, your LORS, and your grades.

Hey everyone. I just found this forum today 🙂. I applied to Washington, Virginia, and Nebraska, got accepted at Nebraska and Virginia, and I chose Nebraska. For those of you who've participated at that site, can you offer any advice please?
