Applying to SMDEP
Overview: How Do I Apply?
SMDEP Program Sites are completely autonomous in making admissions decisions.
The SMDEP National Program Office has established admissions guidelines regarding acceptance procedures
for sites and applicants. SMDEP program sites are expected to follow these guidelines.
To apply to SMDEP, you must submit all of the following materials by the deadline:
-
SMDEP Web Application—Once
successfully submitted, your information is immediately available to SMDEP.
-
Transcripts—Processed
within 10 business days of receipt at the National Program Office. An admissions
decision will not be given until all transcripts are received. Please follow
up with your registrar's office to ensure that transcripts arrive by the
deadline.
Please Note: If you are a freshman in college and you have
not received your first semester grades, please allow time for grades to
be established before sending your transcripts to the National Program Office.
-
Letters of Recommendation—Processed
within 10 business days of receipt at the National Program Office.
Late submission of transcripts and recommendations could result in your application
not being processed. Please ensure that all of your documents are submitted
to the National Program Office on or before the application deadline!
The NPO strongly encourages early submission of the application to increase
your chance of being considered by the program site(s) you designated, since
applications are reviewed on a "first come, first served" basis.
Providing correct and timely information allows us to give your application
the attention it deserves. Review the program descriptions and identify the
site(s) that best fit your needs before completing the application.
Please note: Students may attend SMDEP only once. After completing SMDEP, students
are encouraged to also take part in other
enrichment opportunities.
