Yes, I’ve read the threads already posted, but I haven’t found one for my case.
cGPA: 3.8
sGPA: 3.68
MCAT: 520
Research: 2.5 years, first author pub
My MCAT I think is okay for programs, it’s my GPA that I’m worried about. I would love to pursue an MD/PhD, but I recognize I can do research as an MD only. I want to apply to both and see what happens.
Also, some Med schools in my state don’t have MD/PhD programs, and location is a somewhat important factor for me. While I’m not opposed to moving across the country, if I get into two lower-ranking schools, and one of them is in my state, I’d prefer to stay here. I’m worried it sounds like I haven’t made up my mind... my dream career is the 80/20 split (with the expectation that some compromises might have to be made), but ultimately if push came to shove, I’d choose an MD-only over a PhD-only.
