I have quite a dilemma in writing my application essays. The MD/PhD primary app requires both a personal statement ("why do you want to be a doctor?") and a why MD/PhD essay. I find it impossible to separate the two. I am only applying to MD/PhD programs, and my desire to be a doctor is completely linked to my research interests. Therefore, I've written my personal essay, but it certainly answers the question "why MD/PhD". What should I write in the other essay?!
Keep in mind that there is ALSO a research specific essay...
