Hi I was wondering if there were any MD/PhD programs in Chicago and what are the usual scores of MCAT/GPA for accepted applicants?

Also, how long are these programs, 4 years med school + ?

And what kind of undergraduate work should you do to apply for these, since there are really limited seats, right?

+ 4 years of PhD +/- 1 year typically.

And what kind of undergraduate work should you do to apply for these, since there are really limited seats, right?

Doesn't really matter. Any science will do. Jury is out on other majors, though dual majors are quite common.

Next time please do some of your own research before posting as these are very basic questions that can be found by looking at this forum and/or doing a Google search. For more info:
