Are MSTP applicants considered independently for medical school admission?
Yes! All applicants to the MSTP are either invited for MSTP interviews or considered independently by the medical school admissions committee, and all MSTP interviewees are either offered admission to the MSTP or considered independently for admission by the medical school admissions committee. The MSTP admissions committee is separate from, but closely integrated with, the medical school admissions committee, so even though the interview experience for an MSTP applicant is a little different from that of a “straight MD” applicant, only a single interview is necessary.
