Is there any possible downside of selecting the option saying that you would also like to be considered by the MD only program? I'm applying only to MD-PhD programs, and I am certain I would rather pursue a MD-PhD than MD alone, but if I'm not accepted by the MD-PhD program, the possibility of getting into the MD only would be a nice backup.
I'm probably reading too much into this, but could selecting this option possibly be interpreted as a lack of conviction for MD-PhD? If there's no downside, I don't really understand why it's an option at all, why aren't all MD-PhD applicants automatically considered for MD only too?
