Hello,
I am a recent graduate (B. S. Biochemistry, B.S. Biology) and want to eventually get into a top tier MD/PhD program. I'm currently a research assistant in a neuroscience lab at a very good university and I'm considering doing a master's degree before applying to MD/PhD programs to get into a better program than I would be able to currently. My first question is does anybody know of highly ranked M.S. programs for neuroscience in the USA? The problem I've been having when researching schools is that most schools I am interested in for a master's degree only offer doctoral degrees. My next question is how well are MS degrees from outside the USA (say Oxford or Cambridge university) looked at when applying to MD/PhD programs in the USA? Any help regarding these questions would be appreciated.
