The MSTP FOA indicates that they will be funding forward only 25% of the MD/PhD census for the program. "NIGMS typically provides full-time support for approximately 25% of the trainees in the training program during any given year." We have made every effort possible to appoint every single...

Are you aware of table B-8 of AAMC FACTS? See: 2023 FACTS: Enrollment, Graduates, and MD-PhD Data Given your academic benchmarks, you are applying to several very low yield programs. PM me if needed.

You can turn down an MD only acceptance if the MSTP indicates that they don't allow internal applicants. You need to address that in the MD/PhD or personal essay as your application strategy has fundamentally changed. I would only reach out to the MSTP director again prior to turning down the...

Nothing happened on Sunday 5/12, but from 4/30 to 5/11, there were 66 applicants who received their 1st MD/PhD acceptance (835 - 769). 5/20 edit: as the overnight sync, on 5/20, there were 842 applicants with at least one MD/PhD acceptance, only 7 more vs 5/11. We are within the historical...

On Wed. 5/8, we had 4 additional applicants who received their 1st MD/PhD acceptance, and Thu., we had 3 more. Currently, 831 of the 1,858 applicants (44.7%) who have received at least one MD/PhD acceptance for the 2024 admissions cycle. Last year (2023 cycle), we ended up at the end of cycle...

We had one more applicant accepted over the weekend, and 4 on Monday and 4 on Tuesday, for a total 824 applicants with at least one MD/PhD acceptance, which follows historical timelines.

The MD/PhD admission action activity of the past 4 days saw an increase from 769 to 815 applicants with at least one MD/PhD acceptance. That is, 46 applicants received their first MD/PhD acceptance during that brief period of time. As I indicated previously, historical targets at end of cycle...

The most important difference is prestige... I try to make sure that every single of my trainees is appointed to the T32 training grant for at least a year during typically the first 2 years of training (during medical school) and during that time, they do have a supplement of training related...

In the 2 days after the 4/30 9 am deadline, we had 30 applicants receiving their 1st MD/PhD acceptance! And this overnight sync only captures the day and half (Tue / Wed). I expect that by the Saturday, we would be around 825-830 applicants with at least one MD/PhD acceptance for the cycle.

Update as of today: Total - 1,857 MD/PhD applicants (6% international) - 513.0 MCAT, 3.75 cGPA (averages) 1 or more MD/PhD AC - 769 applicants - 517.6, 3.87 cGPA (averages) There will be movement in the waitlists this coming week... Target for cohort of 1 or more MD/PhD AC is about 840-850, so...

It depends on the trajectory of the applicant, but it could be enough... additional hours over the year of application could also be described. The most critical aspect for a MD/PhD application is the quality and quantity of research experiences, which should have informed the applicant of the...

The system was down this morning, but seems to be resync. There are now around 750 applicants with at least one MD/PhD acceptance. As you can see, the process slows a lot during early April, but as people start making decisions this (and next) week, programs need to refill those last few spots...

It is part of each program T32 application. NIH does not release that data. As a reviewer and EAB member, I have seen data for about 20 out of the 53 (soon to be 56 MSTPs). One of my collaborators who is a co-author of this paper, has a R01 on studying some aspects of data and at one point was...

MSTP training grants require an appendix indicating the number (percentage) of applicants, interviewees, accepted and matriculants with classes A, B and C (of NOT-OD-20-031). It does apply to AAMC FAP....

Imagine there is no cloud R&D (in NIH budget) It's easy if you try More bench R&D Above us, only sky Imagine all the researchers Livin' for today ... I certainly couldn't make a livin' as a songwriter :rolleyes:
