I think if the TA is acting as your instructor and knows you well it should be fine.
You'll find everything you need to know on the website. I believe there are two decision dates for people who apply by December and people who apply by March or some such. People say it's better to apply for the earlier cycle. I applied for the later one. They don't instantly send a decision when they get your material, there's specific dates decisions are released.
Good
If you complete your application by Feb 1 you get a decision by Feb 15 and if you complete it after that and by March 1 you get a decision by April 1
Both are possible.know someone? strong research background? for freshmen?
SMDEP is not a research-based internship. Also, I am sure many successful applicants do not know anyone at their internship sites. Why do you believe these are valid tips?
Same here. I'm just having someone look over my essays and asking for my second LOR tomorrowI FINALLY finished my essays
Now I just have to request the LOR's and a copy of my transcripts tomorrow and I'm done with the application 😀
I'm just stuck on trying to figure out what my third program site should be, they all look so appealing!
For the essays, is it 5300 characters with spacing or 5300 characters without space🙄I FINALLY finished my essays
Now I just have to request the LOR's and a copy of my transcripts tomorrow and I'm done with the application 😀
I don't think they're alerting (I put in one of my recommender before asking her and she didn't get notified). After you enter the information, there's just a link provided next to name to print the LOR form in PDF
I'm on the same boat! I'm having a hard time picking two more sites. I'm contemplating between UW, Howard, Texas, and UVA. I also can't decide if I should ask my neuro or stat professor for my second LOR
alright, thanks! I put my prof. in so hopefully he doesn't get alerted and get confused or something haha
I think I'm going to end up going with Case, Nebraska, and Louisville although I'm really torn between Louisville, UW, and UVA! I'm down to two people for my second LOR too! Either my bio professor or my English professor. My English professor knows me slightly better, but she's really unorganized and I don't want to risk her forgetting or submitting it really late. I think I'll probably end up asking my bio professor.
Okay
Yeah we hear back on Feb 15th for those who submit their app before feb 1st
haha I don't think I can handle waiting that long to find out 😢
Me too!
If you click "view application status" there should be a spot where you can see the people you put down as recommenders. If they haven't submitted their LORs yet then there will only be a dash. I think once they submit it it will change to the date of sumission or just say that it was submitted or something. I'm not sure since my professors haven't submitted my letters yet.
Okay
I already did that. I just want to know when he submits it. Like will I recieve a confirmation or wat?
do you know approximately how long it takes for the letters to be processed and the status to be changed to "received" after they have been received by the SMDEP office? Or is it just variable?
Took a couple weeks after I sent it. Took a little longer for my transcript so I emailed them. It wasn't terribly long but 2 to 3 weeks is normal.
Okay. Cool
I had the hardest time with it! It took me maybe 3 weeks to write it because I kept scrapping everything I had written every couple of days or so.Am I the only one that has problem with this diversity essay???
I'm a freshman
Hey, so what schools did you apply to, which school accepted or rejected you and if you don't mind, what was your gpa when you applied. Thanks
