lalitanaia Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Aloha. I thought we could start a thread for those of us applying to Duke to enter fall 2012. I have waited a year just to be able to apply to Duke's program. I grew up in NC and am so hopeful about this application cycle and the chance of perhaps being accepted. If anyone would like to share about their experiences in the application process or their plans and so forth, I'd love to hear. Best of luck to you all..!

AbeTheBabe Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello! I'm also applying to Duke this year, I'm about halfway done through the application process but I think the harder half is left.. I'm definitely feeling the time crunch :/ How are things going with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalitanaia Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 hey Babe, what do you have left in the application process? on CASPA or supplemental application? I turned in my CASPA but added an additional school to it subsequently. I appreciate your sharing. Maybe we will have the fortune of interviewing together :). Good night.

AbeTheBabe Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I am still on the CASPA application, I've done all the details what I have left is writing my personal statement and getting my letter of rec's. Goodnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.charles.jones Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey guys, I am just about to submit my CASPA and Duke is definitely my #1! Lalitanaia, have you done the supplemental? Is it time consuming? I don't like how you can't view it until you have submitted the CASPA application, like many other schools. Hope we get in!

lalitanaia Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yes, I have completed it. There were about 8-10 pages of basically confirming your vital information as well as a short essay section. It was not bad at all, in my opinion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmpetersen Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I didn't think they had even started interviews yet...but I guess I'm really not 100% sure of their timeline! Just got my supplemental today :) Post if anyone gets an interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urcrobin13 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Does anyone know what is considered an "applied science" course on the supplemental? I was a neuroscience major and had plenty of neuro classes, but I am not sure if those would count as applied or basic. Thank you for your help!

jessie37 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi, Just thinking about the supplemental application and the required essay. I realize that the essay asks "in addition to professional healthcare experience" regarding growth as a person and definition of life goals. So much of what I consider my personal growth and definition of life goals deals with healthcare. Do you guys thinks it is unacceptable to write about healthcare in this essay? I would appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmpetersen Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I was wondering about this also and asked a PA friend for advice...This is what we decided: The school wants to know MORE about you. They already know you are interested in healthcare. If there is something else in your life that is interesting and has played a role in who you are, then definitely talk about that. If the only interesting thing in your life has to do with healthcare, then go ahead and use that. Mine had to do with general health and wellness, exercise, diet etc so it was kind of a mix of the two. Then I used another non-health related example in the 3rd essay where you have the chance to express anything else you feel was left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves2Share Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Probably a little late for urcrobin... but all I can tell you is earth science doesn't count; buy physics does (IIRC). Like tfortson said, just call or email. Wendy is super nice and will tell you what you need to know. Good luck to you all- can't wait to meet you!

duchesskre Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hey all, I submitted my Caspa and supplemental app already but couldnt figure out if there was some sort of secondary fee that needed to pay like other schools have. Did anyone pay a supp app fee and if so where did you find this info and where did you pay it? I emailed Wendy end of last week about this and have no heard back. Any info is appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all applicants!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smw1817 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wendy told me that there is no supplementary fee to apply to Duke. Pleasant surprise, heh :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
