UIUC-MD/PhD letter

Members don't see this ad.

Just wondering if anyone recently received this letter requesting that you apply to their program. Does anyone know if another interview is necessary in addition to the one I will have at UIC? Don't I have to be accepted first to the SOM before entering a PhD program?

Any advice would be helpful.

I also recieved that letter. I didn't apply there, so I don't know what the deal is. Are they just mailing these letters out to everyone?

I guess so since they addressed me as 'medical school applicant' instead of my name.

They should consider using names if they want to recruit people.

interesting thing is, i got one from both uic and uiuc- but i had thought it was the same program, but i guess not.

so i bet you do have to get another interview apart from the one for uic.

Yeah, I also received the UIC one yesterday.

the UIC program is more "like" MSTP and the uiuc program allows you to get a PhD in anything you want (or even a JD). in a few years or so the UIC program will in fact probably get MSTP funding and officially be MSTP, but right now it isn't. anyhow, i interviewed at UIC for their pseudo-MSTP program so if you guys have any questions about the interview don't hesitate to PM or whatever. lates.
