Hi everyone! They gave me moderator status so I hope I can now be of assistance where it is needed. For everyone who is new to MSTP admissions and this site, there's a great composition on MSTPs and the process at:

http://www.mdphds.org/ (SDN's Vader and jot)
Another student (SDN's Caristra) has written a new MD/PhD guide here: http://www.squidoo.com/what-is-an-md-phd-program-

An official perspective can be found here:

http://www.aamc.org/students/conside...esearch/mdphd/

Meanwhile, as I see fit I will be adding common questions to this thread. This way we can save everyone some time by cutting down on duplicate questions. My goal to for the FAQ is not to be all-inclusive (MDPHDs.org does a much better job), but rather to attempt to address the questions that aren't politically correct or are frequently asked but don't have a concrete answer. If you find a broken link, think something should be added, or just disagree with me, please PM me!

Good luck to all this year's coming applicants and the waitlist waiters!
