Hi all! I was just wondering what you all thought about applying back home if you're in the USA for undergrad?
I attend an Ivy league school as a second year student ATM, and will hopefully retain a high GPA by the time of application. I have a lot of research experience (will be +4 years if you count when I started working in labs), won various fellowships, some solid ECs/clubs - my volunteering/clinical is low but I'm going to work on that.
The premed advisors at my school were not bullish about my chances if I applied traditionally to MD, just because they've heard of an apparent bias...
I'm greatly interested in MD/PhD programs and have been consciously working towards applying to those- would that same rule apply there as well?
I'm open to taking time off and working, but I don't really want to.
