Hi everyone! I've been silently reading these premed threads for a while, but I worked up the courage to post because I really need some advice. I really would love to pursue an MD/PhD in Anthropology, but I'm unsure if my qualifications are up to par for such a program. I would love it if someone gave me some honest feed back as to whether I should take a shot or I'm being foolish...so here goes:
-Dual degree: Biology/Anthropology
-MCAT- 511...C/P: 127 CARS: 128 B/B: 128 P/S: 128
-Overall GPA: 3.76 BCPM: 3.68 AO: 3.93
-Research: 2 years total
Research Assistant: 1500 Hours
-240 Hours: with that same project in another professor's lab who was collaborating with my PI
Laboratory Technician in same Lab: 1360 Hours (up to now, still working there)
-PI has allowed me to continue on that previous project (on the side) as well as mainly work with one of the grads on
his project
-Honors Thesis completed and approved by committee: done with the work completed as research assistant
-And I have the other extracurriculars as well, some of which involve working with an Anthro professor
So my main concern is whether I'd be okay to take a shot at applying with those stats or whether I should just go for regular MD...
Thank you so much for your help!!!
