Okay, so here is my dilema. I got into an MD/Phd program that I kinda like. I didn't get into the MD/PhD program at the school that I really loved the curriculum, and found two different labs that really interested me and both researchers expressed interest in me.
I guess I'm asking should I risk it at the school I didn't get into the MD/PhD program and try applying after my first year? I already talked to the program director and they would help me set up lab rotations before M1, so I wouldn't be behind. But it becomes a big difference if I dont make it and I'm there for 7 years with no guaranteed funding. (I assume I would get some during the PhD years just like a normal graduate student)
