From my understanding, they are if you end up going MD/PhD and you get a stipend (ie. Get paid). This could be looked upon as looking for work. Mind you, the stipend will probably be so dismal that you won't pay taxes anyway.
Speaking of getting paid. Several friends have been getting PhD offers and have been wondering what a "decent" PhD stipend would be? Any insight into this? Two are going into Analytical Chemistry and one into Biology.

It totally depends on the school (due to location/cost of living), and how much money the program has. I have heard anything from $1400 to $2000 a month before taxes.
I get about $1700 after taxes, and I get health insurance and other fees paid. I'm in L.A. at a graduate program in medical school.
If you currently have a full time job... then the application fee and interview cost maybe tax deductible because it is considered looking for work. If you are now a student, it doesnt count.
