<p>Has anyone else received an invitation to apply to this program? Does anyone have any information as to what this program is about?</p>
<p>yeah I got an email about it..I'm not sure if I want to apply because it does seem a little intense..and I don't want to be that overwhelmed Freshman year..but I don't know, do you know anything more about it?</p>
<p>I wonder how competitive it is</p>
<p>I also got this too - one of the requirements to apply was like taking 2-3 AP science/math courses? I don't quite remember...</p>
<p>Anyone else get this? I've never heard of this before.</p>
<p>yeah it was like at least 2 math or science AP courses</p>
<p>Ok that kind of sucks... haha. My school limits on the number of APs that one can take in high school to five (2 in jr. 3 in sr.) sigh.</p>
<p>do it/apply. There's no harm in doing it. It's a great way to meet important people starting your first year. </p>
<p>Even if you haven't been invited to apply, see if you meet the requirements: Emory</a> College | Current Students | Excellence & Achievement | INSPIRE</p>
<p>If you do, apply...you've got nothing to lose!</p>
<p>I'm in the prorgram and it has been amazing. The first year is great and you have a group of friends as soon as you get there. Plus Dean Ram is amazing and it helps a lot to be close with a Dean. As a result off being in INSPIRE I've meet President Carter, finished all my pre-med requirements in two years, and have gone on some awesome camping trips. There is no down side.</p>
<p>SEWcurious - how different is it from the usual premed workload? Is it a lot more work? Is it competitive within INSPIRE? Did you immediately jump into research freshman year? Could you specifically name opportunities you had as a freshman/sophomore that other people not in INSPIRE could not take advantage of?</p>
<p>Is it a 2 or 4-year program?</p>
<p>any current INSPIRE fellows out there?</p>
<p>is there any difference between being in INSPIRE/working in a lab AND just working in a lab w/o INSPIRE membership?</p>
<p>i think what i am saying is what is the advantage of INSPIRE?</p>
<p>I was wondering the same things. The program sounds great and I am definitely applying but I am an athlete and wonder if there is time to do both along with Emory Scholars.</p>
<p>Emory Scholars doesn't require extra work...you just get free tuition and a lot of perks like first pick at classes...</p>
<p>any other idea about inspire??</p>
