Are PSTP applicants considered independently from medical school admission?
Yes! All applicants who apply to the “Combined” (MD and MD/PhD) are considered individually by the medical school admissions committee and the PSTP admissions committee. Although both programs work closely to coordinate interview schedules so that only a single interview visit is necessary, each admission committee is separate and decisions are considered independently for admission. Applicants who do not wish to be considered for the MD program have the option to choose to apply for MD/PhD only.
