The Residential Applicants Mentorship Pairings (RAMP) program is designed to connect applicants to our residential programs, the Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) and the Master of Public Policy (MPP), with current students who share similar policy interests and experiences. Mentors will provide applicants with insights about their own application process, and share more about their Sanford experiences.
RAMP takes place during the academic year, specifically during the fall semester of Duke's academic calendar, and aligns approximately with our Fall application cycle. For our upcoming admission cycle, RAMP applications are due by October 31st. Our team will arrange RAMP mentee-mentor pairings during the first week of November.
Interested in applying to RAMP? We will post the RAMP Mentee Application here when it opens again.
