I am 22 now, will be 23 when I start my PhD program in August.
I am thinking about the possibility of going for a MD after that (I know I end up having to pay A LOT of money and add a year or two to the time I spend in school but my MCAT/GPA is not high enough to get in (GPA ~3.5)).
Average time of completion of PhD at the program I am joining in 5 years.
Also the program I am joining offers a "translational research program" which is, as they describe it, clinical research training for research with humans.
So I am already a year behind (5 years working on a 4 year degree).
What is the average age of matriculation into the MD/PhD programs?
