As of December 16, 2021, the 2023 SRTP is set to run live. In accordance with UChicago’s policies, all admitted who matriculate into the program are required to complete the University’s COVID-19 attestation form. The attestation form affirms that the signer will comply with the University’s safety precautions and guidelines. For more information, see the University’s Health Guidelines.
If it becomes necessary to run the program online, UChicago MMUF will make that decision as public health and university directs.
Notification of Admission:
