Hello, since beginning undergrad I've been interested in MD/PhD, but due to the competitiveness of the MSTP programs I have always been concerned about the viability of these plans. Now that I'm applying in a month, I've done a lot of self reflection and I'm going to try to apply to some...

Hi everyone! (sorry if this isn't the correct thread to post this in, I'm new.) I have a question about the benefit of having a master's in a biomedical science when applying to residency. I read somewhere that the majority of people who are successful applicants to certain residency programs...

I know everyone writes their credentials on here and I've read some really good advice but nothing like my situation. I plan on applying for med schools DO or MD for the upcoming cycle. My overall gpa is a 3.1. My practice mcat scores are in the low 500's. I know alone those stats don't seem...

Hey guys, I will be completing all my requirements for my B.S. in biology a semester early and I was wondering if anyone knows of any abroad (or U.S.) MD/PhD internships for Pre-med. I do have 3 years of research experience in computational biology but I am looking for more of a clinical...

Hi, I'm hoping to apply for MD/PhD programs either next year or the one after. Some specs: Biochemistry undergrad 4.0 undergrad GPA 520 MCAT 6 semesters leadership in collegiate athletics 3 years of work experience in private labs at the research assistant level "eh" ECs (I'll be improving...

I'm a sophomore at a second tier public college, with a physics major and a math minor. When I signed up for classes at the end of last semester, I hadn't planned on having any extracurriculars besides one research project which wasn't eating up too much of my time. So I decided to take Cell...

Hi, I am an M1 in the MD/PhD program and for many reasons, I really want to do my PhD between M1 and M2. I've talked to both MD/PhD directors that agree that this is a viable possibility, my future PI would prefer it, and students further along in the program think it is both doable and many...

I have a feeling this question must be relevant to people other than me, so I was hoping for some general input. Mine is a hypothetical situation right now because I'm not in either program yet, but because of costs and time off work I need to consider what interviews I attend very carefully (I...

Hi, I'm currently a junior biophysics (think biochemistry but more physics and slightly less chemistry) major at a top-30 research university and am starting to embark on the process of applying to MD/PhD programs. My school has a pre-selection committee where they essentially encourage...

Hey Guys, I'm between a rock and a hard place and would very much appreciate some level headed advice from anybody willing to listen. I matriculated at the wrong school for MD/PhD and am looking for advice. I am confident that I committed to the wrong school and have been since within a week...

I'm going to be applying to medical schools for the 2017 cycle, and am beginning to think about where I should apply and what my realistic chances are. My stats are: GPA: 3.98 (cumulative) 4.0 (science) MCAT: Have not taken yet, but I got a 504 on a practice exam without any studying, and am...

I had an MD/PhD interview where I gave a chalk talk before the members of the graduate school admissions committee. I am writing thank you notes now and wondering how I handle the committee members. I know the letters all have to be different, and was thinking I would write a note mentioning a...

After reading a half dozen MD vs. MD/PhD posts, I wanted to put up my own dilemma since I don't think what I saw really addressed my doubts. I want to be a physician, that much I know. However, I also have a fundamental appreciation of basic science and the steps it takes to bring us closer to...

I am a few years out of school but am aiming to apply to MD/PhD programs next cycle. I am also signing on to a research project to get some recent work in before I apply (I did do extensive research in school). My question is regarding the selection of schools. I am interested in engineering...

Hey guys, As an MD/PhD finishing up M2, I'm at the point of time where I have to pick a lab to join. Although I'm certain that I'm interested in the work a specific lab does, they are pretty applied/focused in what they do (heart failure related work). Does this mean I'm restricted to very few...

This is my first post on here. I'm 21, 3rd year in college education. First two or so I went to a community college and did most of my pre-req, I might have to do extra 2 classes because the university I go to requires little different classes. However, I am struggling in the science section. I...

Hey everyone! I am currently in the clinical portion of nursing school. I am in my first semester, after prereqs where we are learning what nurses do, assessment, etc. This has caused a debate in my head. While learning about the nursing duties I find myself more and more wanting to do what...

Hey! So I'm currently a sophomore in my undergrad and I'm majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry, and possibly a minor in history as well. I was wondering what you all would suggest I do to make myself more competitive for applying to MD and MD/PhD programs in the future : Here are my...

Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I just graudated with a BS in psychology as a pre-med student. I have taken all pre-med classes at my state college except for Anatomy and Physiology. I have heard mixed feedback on whether a naturopathic doctor could get licensed as a Psychiatrist. I...

Hi all, I'm having some difficulty figuring out if an MD/PhD route will be more beneficial for me than just pursuing an MD with residency and a fellowship/post doc. I obtained a B.S in Neuroscience and I'm finishing up my premed requirements while I'm currently in a Masters of Neuroscience...

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...

Hi, Was wondering what is the longest people have had to wait until receiving an interview for an MD/PhD program. Could you post your completed secondary app date and your interview notification date. Like greater than one month Thanks!!
