Changing some schools from MSTP to MD designation

[i_dont_understand]

Hi all,

I am having some doubts about the PhD, and I think the best choice at this point might be to apply as an MD only and consider internal admissions later on. I have designated MD/PhD on AMCAS. Anyone have any suggestions regarding how to proceed? I have written secondaries but have not submitted any of them.

I'm not sure about the process of changing designations at this point. My guess would be that it would have to be on a school-by-school basis, but I think you should really thing hard about making this decision. One thing to consider is that you'd most likely be paying tuition + no stipend for the first two years of the program which would not be retroactively given to you. Tack on 4-5 years of additional interest during your PhD years if you were to take out loans, and it becomes a very expensive route.

You can redesignate on AMCAS. Do that and email the admissions at each school you do it at. I did this with a couple of schools.
