Suppose that one didn't get into the MSTP program of choice, so you did the next best thing and accepted a MD program somewhere else (doesn't matter where, except it doesn't have the cutting-edge research of your interest in place - none of the MD or MSTP program that you were interested in did). Since where you go for MD doesn't matter (suppose money is not that big an issue because you've been accepted with scholarships to the MD program), could you maybe negotiate and do your first 2 years of MD, head off to someplace where they're doing cool cutting edge research as a PhD for 4 years, and then come back to wrap up your 2 clinical years?
So you're not trapped at a place where the research, while okay, isn't ideal to your interests?
