Summary of Application Experience

Wanted to get an MD/MPH so I applied to multiple places that offered that opportunity even though they were 'reaches'. Applied to Iowa for MD/PhD because they offered PhD in preventive medicine (according to AAMC curriculum guide). Turns out epidemiology was an option there, so I jumped at the opportunity.

I choose most of the schools I applied to based on the location and the curriculum. You can compare schools' curricula at the aamc website.
