Dear All, what made you decide to do it. please don't say the money. i was just wondering if there was like a tadaa moment for you. i know it takes so much work on top of the already hard life of a med student. sarcasm aside, did you just love love research so much? i'm stuck on whether or not to apply. what made you do it? is it a buttload of more work?

if you plan on working in academic medcine, an md/phd is the gold standard. If you are not interested in working in academic medicine, i would apply md only. You can always apply md/phd as an already-accepted md student.
