Second-look
Weekend 2008
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 2008 is Thursday,
April 3, through Sunday, April 6. The MSTP
Symposium takes place Thursday afternoon and evening.
On Friday and Saturday many activities give 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 work in the basic science departments.
Some MSTP applicants like to interview with more faculty
members during this visit, taking the opportunity to explore
further the sorts of research being done at Duke. Applicants
should notify the MSTP office (MSTP@duke.edu) of any particular
faculty members with whom they would like to meet.
The
weekend begins Thursday, April 3, 2008, at 1:30 pm and runs
through Sunday, April 6, at noon. Applicants should plan
to arrive on Thursday morning and depart in the afternoon
on either Saturday or Sunday.
The
School of Medicine schedule for 2008 Second-look Weekend
is posted on the School
of Medicine admissions web client.
