I'm applying MD/PhD (to every school I apply to) but wanted to get the viewpoint from the pre-allo side of it too.
I've narrowed my school list down to 34 schools. they all have comp bio programs within the md/phd program.
Is this a balanced list of schools? Any sugestions on schools to remove from the list (I'm having a tough time with that obviously)? I'll probably end up applying to about 20-30 schools.
Info:
Decent state school
GPA: 3.9
MCAT: 34Q
Major: Computer Science and Molec. Bio
PhD Interest: Computational Biology
Research: 5 summers (full time) + 4 semesters (10-15 hrs per week) + 2 more semesters next school year. Worked in 4 seperate labs in this time. Few abstracts & posters. One 6th-author pub (just was helping out) and hopefully a 1st author in the fall or so. 2 summers were basic science research; rest was computational
EC: volunteering, just a little clinical (about a month of shadowing during school year, volunteering 4hrs a week in an ER this summer), music, leadership
