I generally try to hold my cards close to the vest regarding what I’m thinking because I don’t want my own perceptions to influence people’s responses. (At least at first)

Hi,
I was wondering if some of those who were accepted into Duke in the last 2-3 cycles could share a little bit about what type of applicant they were. Any information will be appreciated, but I'm particularly interested in knowing what you think helped you get in and whether you think research...

Hi guys,
I’m wondering about the relative pros and cons between VA inpatient sites and university inpatient sites, specifically at places like U Michigan or Duke. I know the VA involves CPRS and a predominantly older male population that I would think shows less first break psychosis, mania...

It's weird because I've been reading through the forums and the Yale SMDEP website (it seems current) and I'm confused whether or not they still do it. If they don't, is there a similar new program at these institutions?

Hey everyone!
I was recently accepted for Campbell's DPT program! I interviewed on 9/30 and found out 3 days later, which was incredible. I'm just worried because the program starts in 3 months, and I still haven't heard back from anyone else yet. I applied to Elon, Duke, Shenandoah, Radford...

I was wondering if people with direct experience with these schools could chime in on whether it would be worth it to attend Duke over Mount Sinai, despite Duke being ~130k dollars higher in cost for me.
I have reasons as to why I am pretty set on Mount Sinai such as:
-its significantly cheaper...
Hello,
I am currently a freshman at Duke University in Durham, NC. I am enjoying my time here and have made great friends. However, the cost of attendance is getting ridiculous. I will have to pay over $70,000 next year to attend school here. Also, I am not a fan of the super competitive...
