I'm planning on pursuing an M.S. with the MD track (assuming I get in ). I think I'll try to sneak into the MS track whenever I happen to receive an acceptance. I really would have liked to do MD/PhD, but I simply don't have the research credentials.
I dont have the patience for most Ph.D programs. The only reason I did it for the schools i put down was because of connections to the school. IE did summer programs(TCOM, UCSD) at them( so i would continue my project and know the professor), or has research in the area that i want to do( Cardiac Engineering/Mechanics) (WUSTL and UCSD). Im applying for the NSF graduate fellowship this year to see if i can get some funding for the masters programs. if i do get it i think the schools will be more likely to accept me.
