Kind of a strange question

Hey guys

On the AMCAS, for USC I selected a combined MD/Graduate, and then selected both MBA and MPH because I wanted to keep my options open though I only plan to do one. However, I have gotten neurotic and I am afraid that they are harsher on combined degree applicants so I changed it back to regular MD but it wants me to resubmit, which I do not want to do since I am not even verified yet.

Am I stressing myself out about being viewed more harshly? My stats are competitive but not stellar (3.63/34). Furthermore, if i resubmitted would I be placed in the back of the line again? I am already in line to be reviewed and I do not want to lose my spot

I imagine it would be harder. You're basically gaining admissions to a Masters program and an MD program at the same time. I know for a fact that MD/PhD is harder, but I'm not sure about MD/MPH or MBA.

Most business schools require 3+ years of relevant work experience and also reference letters from past employers. This is in addition to the stats required for getting acceptance to med schools so I would assume it makes it harder.
