SMDEP Web Application
Technical Requirements
Internet Explorer, version 5.01 or higher is preferred to access
the application. Apple users will be unable to access the application.
The Application
The SMDEP Web application allows you to register with the National
Program Office and obtain a username and password. Upon successful
registration, the applicants will be assigned an SMDEP I.D. number,
which can be viewed in the online or printed application. Applicants
must certify and submit the SMDEP application to enable their designated
site(s) to view their application data. The successful certification
and submission of the application and the receipt of all transcripts
and letters of recommendations by the National Program Office will
instantly create a full record for the sites to review. The application
will not be considered complete until all documents are received.
Commuter Program Supplemental Application
This year six SMDEP program sites are offering applicants an opportunity
to participate in the program without living on campus. SMDEP historically
has a residential component required for participation. The Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation recognizes that students have commitments
that would preclude them from participating in the residential program,
and prevent them from attending SMDEP. Students interested in living
off campus and attending one of the participating sites must complete
the 2012 Commuter Application Form in addition to the SMDEP Web
Application. The following sites are offering a non-residential/commuter
component:
Case Western Reserve University
Columbia University
Duke University
University of Texas-Houston
UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical and New
Jersey Dental
University of Washington
Click on the above program sites to find out more about
their commuter program and eligibility requirements.
Acceptance Procedures
SMDEP program sites are completely autonomous in making admission
decisions. The SMDEP National Program Office has established guidelines regarding acceptance
procedures for sites and applicants. SMDEP program sites are expected
to follow these guidelines.
