I attended the Duke one back in the day...I really liked it. Be prepared though...there were many long days of classes, seminars, and mcats. They focused heavily on health disparities through the seminars. I had a great time despite all the work and still keep in contact with many of the people I met there. I've even seen a few of them in my interviews. Also, the work I did there has come up in every one of my interviews so I think attending it helped me out alot.

1. Say where what SMDEP site you attended

Whats your GPA and are you a freshmen or a soph?

Can you apply for SMDEP the summer following your sophomore year? Or are you considered a Junior by then?

I'm interested in doing SMDEP, but do you think it's better to do it the summer following freshman year or sophomore year?

FYI: if anyone has any questions about the program feel free to PM me. I'm an SMDEP ambassador.

I attended the Columbia SMDEP in Summer 06 after my freshman year. I absolutely loved the program. I know someone who attended the Duke program the same summer and she loved it as well. my program visited the yale smdep campus for a medical school fair and the participants claimed they liked it except for the fact that their dorms had no air. it really doesn't matter which site you attend, you'll receive the same experiences. it's just about where you'd like to spend your summer.

Damn you got in early. I didn't know where I was going until like april. I heard the Yale smdep program is one of the best. I went to the chicago one and apparently they don't host it anymore.
