Summary of Application Experience

Too long and too expensive.

Take a year off if you can, or make sure you plan out your final year carefully. Get your applications in early, and then get on with your life.

Interviewing tips: Always stay positive, even when you're around students. Be wary about letting your guard down. Sincerity counts.

Always have a 30 second, 1 minute, and 5 minute blurb about why MD *AND* PhD, why school XYZ, and key points about your research.
