Hello! I am having trouble finding the MD/PhD-specific academic calendar for multiple programs — does anyone have insights on when most programs start? I am planning my wedding for May or June of next year (2022), and would preferably want to get married between ending my current position and...

The following I've always wondered about— Let's say there is this scenario: Someone starts out as a student interested in both basic research and practicing medicine. He learns about MD/PhD programs, which allow him to do just this, and successfully matriculates into one. He continues the track...

Hello all, I am currently a sophomore at a low tier, directional university. I am aware that undergrad institution is not particularly relevant for MD apps, but I have heard that is is NOT the case for PhD programs and maybe MSTP programs as well. Now, I do not personally feel that I am...

Hey everyone, I am a current post-doc. I finished my PhD in 2015 (biochemistry) and applied this cycle MD schools as soon as the applications opened. MCAT 514 GPA 3.98, publications 20 including 5 first author. But I still have not received any II. I am guessing at this point I need to make a...

Background: I'm currently in a DO/PhD program. Did one year of grad school (Neuroscience PhD program, working on computational project) and now am in my first year of med school. I don't usually ask the internet for advice on my life, but I figured what the hell. I've been debating about...

I know the UW MSTP Prelim opened up on the 3rd, but I'm still waiting on my AMCAS to get verified , so I can't access it to start essays and such. Anyone have the essay prompts? Preferably with character limits? Thanks!

Hi guys, so I'm a recent grad in BME at an Ivy League undergrad. I want to apply to MD/PhD programs in BME, but I'm not sure it is even worth applying given my stats. I am applying MD/PhD hopefully to matriculate in Fall 2017. cGPA: 3.5, sGPA: 3.4 MCAT 519 Research: 2 years, 2 publications Gap...

I am an international applicant (went to Ivy UG in the US) and I applied broadly for MD PhD programs as well as MD programs in the US. I have been on 5 MD PhD waitlists and have an MD acceptance, but at this point I have confirmation from 3 of those MD PhD schools that they won't be taking...

Hey all, I have recently put in my deposit to attend Tufts med next year and I was hoping to get additional feedback from you all about MSTP program. Back before I applied for med school, I was heavily debating whether or not to apply for MSTP as while I enjoyed research, I was not sure how...

I've browsed through a lot of the threads on the differences between a DO and an MD, why anyone would ever want to do a DO-PhD instead of an MD-PhD, why you would even bother with the PhD when as a physician you can do academic research anyways, etc...And I don't feel like my questions have been...
