You don’t need scholarships or papers to be competitive for MD/PhD. You need a demonstrated interest in pursuing a scientific career, letters that will back up your ability to do science, and impressive numbers. You have all of those things. You will be fine with a good school list.

@Lucca

Is it normal for MD/PhD applicants to have worked in only one lab, thus I'll only have one letter from a faculty with whom I did research?

Also, which schools would you recommend given my qualifications?

Thank!

Idk about "normal", but its fine, it doesnt really matter. The longer the commitment the better, in my opinion.

I think you would be competitive for every program in the country so I would cast a broad net based on programs that have strong research in your particular field.

@Neuronix Do you think it would be helpful if I took a gap year for the reason of getting a publication (mid author)?
