Interesting! Are you looking to get your PhD in Math as well? I've never heard of an MD/PhD in Math (I'm just applying this year, though, so I haven't heard of many MD/PhDs period).
Out of curiosity, what kind of research do you see yourself doing in the future with an MD and a PhD in math? Are you looking to integrate the two? What are your career goals?
I'm looking to get a PhD in neuroscience and then specialize in neurology, so that's pretty cut and dry. But I am very interested in non-traditional MD/PhD combinations.
Open question to everyone: what are some unusual combinations that you're seen in the past, and what did those people go on to do (if you know)?
Also, to Lonelion87: I don't think that anyone was trying to be offensive. They were just trying to offer their advice. Believe me, I know how stressed you are right now. If this is what you want to do, then go for it 100%!!! I've heard of people getting into programs with GPAs of 2.8 and MCATs of 28 (not both together, but you get the point). I really can't speak to the "international student" thing, but if you have found schools that claim to accept them, then that's perfect! I think the point is that, like most applicants, including myself, you're not a shoe-in. But then again, my friend who applied last year with a 3.95 and a 39 on the MCAT only got into one place. This whole process is just the luck of the draw from what I can tell. Various statistics and time frames push the luck in one direction or another, but in the end it's uncomfortably random. Let's just hope that we get interviews, and then our charming personalities will win them over.
