Hi all,
I am just wondering how to approach that MD/ PhD essay. The word limit is 3000, so it's not a lot. However, I am wondering what I should write, especially I have already mentioned why I want to do a MD/ PhD in my personal statement already. In my personal statement, I talked about my background, my experiences, the process that led me to medicine and research, etc. and the fact that I wanted to pursue a MD/ PhD degree. So it seems to me that it's kind of redundant to write a MD/ PhD essay detailing why I want to do the dual degree. How do you guys approach it and how NOT to repeat things from the personal statement and the "significant research experiences" essay?
Thank you for your input.
