mstp admissions

Hi, I am an MD/PhD applicant in the current cycle. I started a new research job in July and have been pretty helpful/active/productive since then. My advisors (2) have agreed to furnish some LOR. I have only 1 research letter as of now (albeit from a 2-year position I was very productive in)...

Hello SDN, I've gone through the FAQs to see if I could find anything related to this situation but haven't found anything particularly specific. I'm currently a sophomore undergraduate considering taking a leave of absence from school to do research and volunteering full-time after this...

Hello all! I left a T20 chemistry PhD program back in 2017 and I'm currently in the process of applying to resume my studies. I originally became interested in chemistry because of my interest in medicine, and I plan to pursue medicine in the future. I see many paths forward from here involving...

Planning on applying to MD/PhD programs this coming cycle and I'm in a bit of a pickle as to narrowing down the school list. Just for context here's a bit about my stats/where I'm at: Current junior at T20, ORM sGPA 3.93, cGPA 3.95 (not counting this semester), MCAT 523 (130/130/131/132) 3...

So, I have two more years until I graduate in the spring of 2021. I have over a year of research in a neurobiology lab where I know the pi so well I can get a great LOR from them. I'm very realistic. I didn't get the best grades in my sophomore year so I won't have a competitive GPA for...

What is considered strong research experience for an MSTP (MD/PhD) Program? Especially at schools such as Columbia, UPenn, etc. How many hours, publications, presentations (and which conferences), etc?

I am a rising sophomore at a state school with a top - 35 med school (think UAB or Iowa). I am at this school primarily because it is close to home, I received a full ride scholarship, and I can be a “big fish”. I am double majoring in neuroscience and biophysics with a perfect GPA (so far). I...

Hi all, I've been trying to generate a school list for MSTP programs around the country but getting a solid list of schools has been difficult given my app. I think it might be wise to apply as broadly as possible given my financial situation, but I thought y'all might be able to assist in...

I just finished my second year of undergrad. I think right now is a good time to take stock of where I'm at in terms of application strength, as I still have a full year to make changes and add experiences. (Ideally I'd matriculate directly after undergrad graduation, so I'll apply between 3rd...

Hi, Not to post another one of those, but I wanted an opinion on whether I am picking the right application strategy vis-a-vis applications for md/phd programs: I am currently finishing up a post-baccalaureate fellowship at a top University. - Total of 4.5 yrs research experience ( 2.5 yrs...

Hello, Based on the following, what are my chances looking like for Top 20 Schools MD/PHD as well as MD programs (I know not to apply to both at the same time and I won't): cumulative GPA: 3.76 science GPA: 3.55 MCAT: 517 African-American female State of residence: NYC *woot*woot* Plethora of...

Hey all. So I have a few questions and I'm open to all advice! So as the title suggests my undergraduate GPA was not good (sub 3.0) I did have several leadership positions, shadowing, significant research hours (no publications however), vounteering experiences. I'm currently in an accelerated...

I am currently a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Science and Laboratory sciences (also contemplating a minor in computer science). I was previously a double major in Medical Laboratory Sciences, however I switched due to a course load that would not be completed before admissions into a medical...

I applied to both mstp and md programs at several Texas schools. I had one interview with A&M in mid July for both programs, but nothing since then. I am concerned that a lot of schools won't consider me because I applied to both programs. Did I completely screw myself over? Stats: 3.57 GPA...

Hello, Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back from schools! A quick question: I've so far received acceptances from multiple MSTP programs, and am still waiting to hear back from many more. While I'm thrilled about these offers, there is at least one school that I haven't heard...
