My cousin will be a junior next year and realized through a bunch of research he's done that he would actually prefer academic medicine and now wants to pursue an md/phd program. What he wanted to know was how much more difficult is it to apply to an md/phd program compared to a regular md program? Like would a md/phd program at a lower med school(ranking 40 or 50+) be as difficult and/or prestigious as getting into just a med school that is top 25? He is a good student with a gpa of 3.8 something right now and he thinks he will get around at least a 35 after taking 2 practice tests.
