Hello! I was unable to find any recent posts about the UMD SIE program. I was wondering if anyone has been part of this program and can offer any feedback or advice? Thanks!

I just applied. Have you heard back from them about their decision and if so, how long did it take?

Hello! I applied about a week ago (Thursday will be a week) and have not heard anything. Please let me know if you hear anything as well!

They told me we won't hear back until April. I guess now we just play the waiting game haha. And save up money!

Oh wow okay! I'm happy you found out because I keep checking my email. From my understanding as long as you meet the GPA requirement you are eligible for the program right? I can't seem to find information regarding this.

I got in but it's contingent on passing the math exam. I'm a little scared because I feel like it's been forever since I've taken an actual math class....

Hello,
Newbie here. I figured I would ask my question in this thread instead of making a new one. I would like to apply to the UMD SIE program instead of doing an al la carte or getting a second bachelor's degree. However, I do not have the 2.5 GPA min. Should I still apply to the post-bac? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Hello! I just got into the program and do not start until the fall so I can not really answer to that. The only issue I could see arising that they may bring up is that it would be hard to get a GPA that is under 2.5 to a level accepted by medical schools (if that is the route you plan on taking).

Thanks for the reply. I emailed the coordinator and they said they're pretty strict with the GPA requirement. I think I'm going to go the second bachelor's route. I want to be a Biomedical Researcher btw.

Got in (provisional). Anyone know if undergrad aid can be used for this program? Tried calling financial aid but there was a 1hr wait :/

Hello! I do not think so because it is not a full time program. I just got a letter in the mail saying I am not eligible for financial aid, at least.
