MDPhD

Thank you so very much for your valuable advise. I appreciate your help. I completely agree that some programs are far better than many Ivy-League programs. Thanks also for highlighting it. The fact goes that I will be a research trainee for 1 year and according to my mentor I can extend it and do research as a paid Post-Doc Fellow in his Lab if he finds me good but since I am inclined on doing a PhD I was weighing the option of a good Competitive program in USA. And one more question I needed to ask is do the Letter of Recommendation of Post-Docs working in a laboratory work?? I suppose I need 3 LoRs but I can gather 2 of them from Scientists but short of one so was wondering the same. Thanks a ton to you for your help!! All the very best for your application!! (Y) Thank you so much for your input. Actually Md-PhD is a pathway for US students who go to med school. I already graduated from med school in December, 2014 so unfortunately I will not be able to apply for the same. MD-PhD saves a couple of years I know but then again my country doesnot have such a combined degree and I cannot join Med School in USA now so had to look for PhD and MD separately. Thanks a ton for your help. All the best for your Application (Y)

Hii, I am absolutely new to this forum. I am an International Doctor with a MBBS degree who want to apply for PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology before pursuing MD and work to work in translation. My profile is not stellar with 109/120 in TOEFL and GPA of 4(Liberal system used) . I am yet to give GRE. I have 9 weeks research experience in a Laboratory in India and now I am going for a yearlong Research Trainee in Harvard University.I have 6 publications but all are clinically oriented and not Laboratory Research.I was wondering to apply after 5 months of research in Harvard for PhD with GRE. Do you think I stand a chance to do PhD from good Universities mostly IvY league places with my CV?? Thanks a ton!!I I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
