Are MD/PhD rejects REALLY re-considered for the MD-only? Cold, hard facts only.

I know all the policy about how people rejected from MD/PhD programs will be given a fair shot at getting into the schools' MD-only programs. I know there's been lots of discussion on this forum, some people saying that you will be considered, some people saying you won't, and some people saying you will but it will be too late in the process to do anything, etc., etc. My experience says: NO! All these programs state explicitly and tell you that if rejected you will be given a fair shot; but that's just garbage.

Anyway, I don't want to hear all the arguments pro and con. Nor do I want to hear that you were rejected MD/PhD and wait listed to the MD but were ultimately rejected. What I want here, please is -- if you applied to the MD/PhD program, interviewed MD/PhD, and then were rejected MD/PhD, if you were then ACCEPTED to the MD-only at that same school that same application cycle. (Please only post here if the answer is "yes.") It would also be nice to hear which schools this happened at. Thanks, all. Sorry if I sound frustrated... I have been.

NOTE: Please don't just respond "yes" to the poll without posting where you were accepted (I don't care about knowing for where you responded "no").

You need to distinguish between being interviewed for the MD separately (ie: MD/PhD reject with no MD/PhD interview, then MD interview offered at another time (possibly before the PhD rejection!)) and MD/PhD interview reject consigned to the MD list.

If it is the former, I believe you are on equal footing with the MD students because you are treated as an MD student for almost the entire process. For the latter, it is school dependent but generally no, you will no be treated the same (because you were rejected from the MD/PhD program post-interview).

I meant the latter -- after being interviewed for the MD/PhD.

StIgMA, did you respond "yes" to the poll meaning the former?

NOTE TO EVERYONE ELSE: RESPONDING "YES" TO THE POLL WITHOUT TELLING ME THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HELP ME AT ALL. Thanks.

So far only Michigan and U Maryland. Are those the only two schools in history who have actually adhered (once) to stated policy?
