There isn't a cutoff where your stats "have to" be higher, but most MD/PhD programs do have higher average stats than MD programs. Also, I'm not sure exactly how Lubbock does it, but most schools will still consider your for the MD if you don't get into the MD/PhD program.

What is average for an MCAT? Average would be around 500, which would make it difficult to get into the MD/PhD program.

thanks for the reply! I got a 503, so I was hesitant on applying unless they'd still consider me for MD alone.

HI everyone! Quick question! I just submitted my secondary today (I got it around mid July but it was the longest secondary so I kept putting it off). But I decided to apply to the MD/MPH because I am interested in the public health field. I was wondering if 1. your stats have to be higher to be selected for their dual degree programs and 2. if you are reject from a dual degree program, will the still allow you to apply to just MD? My gpa is a 3.98 but my mcat was pretty average. Thanks for your help, and good luck to everyone applying!

Most dual-degree programs require you to be admitted by the medical school before you can be offered admission to the second degree program (MPH, MBA, MA, etc.); therefore, I wouldn't worry about a possible rejection from MPH from impacting your M.D. admission. I don't think your stats have to, necessarily, be higher for a dual-degree program (I think dual-degree program stats naturally trend higher because of the type of person who would go for a dual-degree). I would think it's likely more important to have concrete public health experience/strong and persuasive reasons for pursuing a MPH over stats — but you do need decent stats to show your academically prepared for MPH grad school which it sounds like you do from your GPA!

Congratulation! Was this notification in your email or the portal? I'm a regular MD applicant that has interviewed and want to know what to expect on October 15th when they potentially give me an A, WL, or R.

+1. I just keep reminding myself that even in Texas, interviews often go out as late as December. This isn't over!

As we get closer to the Oct. 30th TMDSAS deadline for primary application submissions, more IIs historically get sent out once schools have a complete look at the entire applicant pool!

Any reinvented students attending Tech? I have yet to receive an invitation, but I may need to cut my losses at this point.

Definitely not time to cut your losses. Some Texas schools are interviewing into February. Ride out this cycle before you give up!

Pre-matched, interviewed 10/2/20. Congrats to everyone pre-matched; keep your head up if nothing yet, it's only the beginning of a long process. Just keep pushing no matter what. You might be like "whatever, you got accepted, what do you know?" But I'll be going on 34 when I start and had every intention of reapplying if things didn't work out this cycle. From experience, I can say that life doesn't care about your timeline, so stop giving your timeline so much control over your life. Stay positive, try not to stress too much, and make sure you celebrate the small wins in life. Good luck everyone!

According to last year's thread, both OOS and IS were accepted on the 15th. They seemed to be doing batches of decision notifications (rather than one big batch).

I've seen a few posts (especially in last year's thread) mention something about an eraider account. What is this and when should we receive an email about this?
