Hi PureGRIT!I am a current MBS student willing to answer questions you guys have!
Does your class consist of a lot of students who are trying to get into MD/PA school in the future?
Yes. No pre-PA in this year's cohort; however, we have a faculty member that is a PA and the program really emphasizes personal growth for success in any field.
Are there some students who want to pursue a job in the biomedical field?
Most definitely. The program is full of networking opportunities and the elective options that is tailored to an individual's personal interest. For example, we have the clinical research mentorship option, business industry practicum option, research options among many others.
Do you have time to work while in this program?
I haven't found time, but we have a classmate that is a part time nurse and some others who are doing research in a lab.
Thanks!!To be honest, the application has changed quite a bit since we applied so I would contact Christie McCray and ask her. As for the letters I believe that your professor will have to fill stuff out through the application portal.
Do you mind messaging me about the program?Things have changed a lot since our transition into cell sciences:

Thank you for all the information! I really appreciate it. Your stats are very impressive, and I wish you lots of luck on the MCAT and in the program!Congrats njohn16 on your acceptance as well! Looking forward to meeting you if you do indeed matriculate. And, Curious90 - sure I will provide some background information: I graduated from the Macaulay Honors (CUNY) program with a Neuroscience and Psychology major in 2015. I haven't taken the MCAT yet, but plan to sometime this year. As for the stats, I had ~3.8 cumulative/3.9 Neuroscience major GPA, had 3 publications in behavioral neuroscience, conducted research at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and have also studied abroad in both Italy (Art/Architecture) and Panama (public health). If you have any further questions, please let me know! Always glad to help in whatever way feasible.

Hi PureGRIT!
Do you mind sharing the stats you had when applying for this program. My GPA is fairly low and I'm wondering if I even have a chance in getting in.
Thank You!

Have you accepted ouI have a 3.5c/3.3s and I was accepted yesterday.
yes I didFor all that have already gotten accepted, did you make the priority deadline?
If you want to apply this upcoming cycle, the faculty will advise against it; however, you can. There are a few people in the program that got into medschool/dental school this cycle, but in my opinion, they couldve gotten in without this program anyway. If you want the benefits of this program, expect a gap year (you have plenty of opportunities at Duke). If you have specific questions that you NEED answered by a student, you can post them on here. Too many people are PMing me the same questions and with the workload, it is hard to get to.
Have you accepted ou
