Hi everyone,
I am looking for insight on how rejecting a seat to an MSTP or MD/PhD program is actually perceived by admissions committees if I re-applied for the 2020-2021 cycle. My current understanding is that rejecting a seat is perceived very poorly, to the point that interviews will not be offered to the applicant when they do re-apply. I am turning to SDN because I am seeking a perspective that is legitimate and not based on hear-say, which is where a lot of my understanding has stemmed from. My pre-health advisor has no prior experience with navigating this situation, so I genuinely have no other source to turn to other than SDN to base this decision off of. Consequently, I ask very kindly that responses to this thread be based on some solid grounds (for instance prior experience navigating this dilemma or people who have been a part of admissions committees), so I can make an informed decision.
I really appreciate it and I hope that this application cycle is going well for everyone!
