Didn't you say you're a DO applicant this year? You're applying to all 3 programs?

Yeah, i am applying to all 3. Is that a bad thing? I am thinking 6-7 md, 4 md/phd and 2 do, does that sound good. or should i just do md and do this year and md/phd next year?

I think you'd get into an MD/PhD program, depending on your ECs...do you have a lot of research and papers published? We had a few MD/PhD's in my lab and they all had many years of research under their belt. Plus the usual volunteering at a hospital, clinical experience, etc.

Thats what I'm worried about; not having enough research, I have around a year (no papers). Should I wait and apply next year after I find a new research position.
