isnwta,

I’m giving you third person observations…some of the top applicants/grad students I’ve met during my interviews said they originally applied for the MD/PhD program, but after hearing that they offered absolutely no financial aid, and required you to present funding for ALL FIVE YEARS right up front, they decided to opt for just the PhD. These students got some of the most prestigious fellowships with the PhD program.

So I guess…if you are aware of how selective it is for an international student applying for PhD programs…then you have a good idea for med programs…it is much more selective than PhD.
