Anyone applying to the PhD to MD program get LL?

What got you to pick here over Penn?

nevermind penn, what about hopkins 💀

Would never want to bring down any other school, so let me start by saying Penn is a great place. My perception of Penn was that it was a bit more cutthroat (more competitive, more frequent exams, more gunners), and I wanted a much more chill experience. I also found that throughout the application process, a lot of the Penn med students I spoke to were more indifferent about the school as opposed to all the Columbia med students I spoke to who absolutely loved it and raved about it. Also, I knew I wanted to be in a big city for medical school, and when I visited the Columbia medical school campus, I absolutely loved it. The building is brand new and has some insane views of NYC. The on-campus housing is also amazing. The vibe is very fun and social.

As soon as I visited Baltimore it was wraps 😂 Also, many of the Hopkins med students I spoke to did not like it there and had a lot of negative things to say. That was just my experience though, still an amazing school.

Wait I've heard the opposite where Columbia has a toxic/gunner rep and people at Penn are more down to earth w/ working with the underserved in Philly. Could just be class dependent though

has anyone gotten an MSTP interview?

Has anyone heard from the MSTP at all? Based on Cycletrack they appear to be taking things much more slowly this year, but I wonder if they've shared a reason for this or anything like that.

haven't heard anything yet!
