Thanks for the feedback! One quick question for you: what should I do for a backup plan, in case I don't get into any Md/PhD programs? My biggest fear in applying Md/PhD is that I don't get in anywhere (again), which is pretty likely since only 1/3 of Md/PhD applicants get into a program somewhere, and I have a below average GPA.
You are more competitive as MD/PhD than MD. If you apply broad (PM me to discuss specifics) with 5-10 dream, 5-10 match, and 5 safety, you should score sufficient interviews to have offers. Make sure that you use every part of the application to indicate love for science. Also use the disadvantaged box to indicate that you had to have part-time job to support yourself during college. You don't need to do more clinical hours, if applying only MD/PhD, o/w you do as your application for MD might not be strong enough. Did you interview well? Do you have skeletons in the closet?
