Background: MD/PhD hopeful, applying this cycle, junior in UG
I've got a choice between:
1. The SRPG at the Broad Institute: http://www.broadinstitute.org/partn...es/srpg/summer-research-program-genomics-srpg
2. UPenn SUIP: http://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/applicants_suip.shtml
3. WashU in St. Louis Amgen: http://dbbs.wustl.edu/divprograms/SummerResearchforUndergrads/Pages/Amgen-Scholars.aspx
I'm currently leaning towards Broad because of their departmental style and its reputation for genetics research, YET I feel I would be giving up an opportunity to network/get my name out there to people involved in the UPenn MD/PhD program. I even got an email from the MSTP director of UPenn saying they would talk to me individually about applying, what they look for, research plan, etc..
Do you guys think it'd be best to go with UPenn/WashU because of their MD/PhD affiliations?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated
