Hi All! I didn't see a thread for this year so I figured I'd make one! Any other applicants for Fall matriculation? And any former students who care to share their experience?

Hey! I applied and received an interview invitation.

Same! I saw in a previous thread that someone was accepted a week after their interview, so hopefully that trend continues.

Hey!! I'm really interested in applying to CDU, I'm in the process of finishing my application for Fall of 2024. Do you all think it's too late for me to apply? I think admission is on a rolling in basis. (I'm also not a Cali native.) I'm just really nervous about possibly getting rejected.

I honestly think you should still apply. The application deadline is not until June 30th, so you have time. If I were you, I would just submit my application ASAP. I’m also not a Cali native and was recently accepted. I say go for it and apply!

Yeah, I agree with what was said! Plus I am coming from the whole other side of the country so I think you're good

It is an excellent program that offers many research opportunities. The courseload is quite heavy, comparable to the first year of medical school. The professors are exceptional and truly care about the students. They also offer stipends for participation in initiatives such as the Substance Abuse Research Training Programs (SART), Cancer research, and an Enrichment Program in Biomedical Sciences. Additionally, they support students' attendance at scientific conferences and pre-med conferences. They provide MCAT preparation and help with interview preparation.

It is a great one-year program, and upon completion, you can also pursue an accelerated MPH. If you have any questions about the program, feel free to ask!

I also agree with other people. The application deadline is not until June 30th, and it is rolling admissions. Just submit my application asap.
