Second-look Weekend 2009
Students who receive offers of admission to Duke MSTP are invited to campus to take a second look at Duke and the community. Travel and lodging arrangements are the same as for the interview visit. Second-look for 2009 is Thursday, April 2, through Sunday, April 5. The MSTP Symposium takes place Thursday afternoon and evening. Friday and Saturday activities offer visitors a glimpse of the intellectual climate and opportunities available at Duke University School of Medicine and a taste of social life at Duke and in Durham.

The weekend is a good chance to see the campus and community in more detail and to ask questions about Duke MSTP, the medical school, and ongoing research in the basic science departments. Applicants are welcome to interview with more faculty members during this visit, taking the opportunity to explore further the sorts of research being done at Duke. Applicants interested in interviews should notify the MSTP office (MSTP@duke.edu) of the particular faculty members with whom they would like to meet.

The weekend begins Thursday, April 2, 2009, at 1:00 pm and runs through Sunday, April 5, at noon. Applicants should plan to arrive on Thursday morning and depart in the afternoon on either Saturday or Sunday.
