Has anyone done this program and would like to share their experience? Also how long did it take for you to receive an acceptance?

I did it last summer and it was really an opportunity you can't get anywhere. Definitely do it if you're accepted. I got my acceptance on 3/1. Applied late January I think. It might seem pointless while you're doing it but now I think about it, it's such a boost on your dental app. You can talk about the experience that most people didn't get to have during interviews.
The program is basically doing what d1 students do. 3 classes (anatomy, pharm, phys) with lots of sessions and labs. 8am to 3pm or 5pm everyday except weekends. all paid program and very generous stipend on top

Just got my acceptance email yesterday! I emailed them before I got accepted last week and they told me that everyone should be getting an email by tomorrow at the latest. I had everything in by the end of January, but I started my app in late November.

Thank you for letting us know, are you instate student? I'm out of state.

 

[jtravens22]

I'm in-state! You should email the vcu pipeline program if you haven't gotten an answer by the end of today.

 

[FutureToothFairy_12]

I got placed on the waiting list as well.

 

[FutureToothFairy_12]

🙁 I wonder how many students they take..

I heard they take 15 for dental.

 

[FutureToothFairy_12]

oh wow, that is not a lot.

Yeah it’s really not unfortunately.

Hey so I just wanted to know a few things:
Did they pay for your travel to VCU? I’m coming from the other side of the country, & travel is expensive!
How much was your stipend? I did SHPEP last summer & they gave us $600, is it around that?
Can you give us any more info on what exactly you did?
I can’t apply until next year bc I’ll be a junior, but this program looks so amazing!!
