Well, I think this actually depends on which MD/PhD program you're talking about. The fact is, most of these programs are no-name programs.</p>
<p>Here is the list of all of the recognized MD/PHD programs in the US. Notice how the majority of them are at unprominent schools.

<p>I think you don't do the programs justice. The ratio of "name" schools to "no-name" programs in MD/PhD seems to about the same as straight MD or PhD. Just glancing at the list, I saw plenty of well-known programs (Cal Tech, GTown, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard, Michigan).</p>
<p>I mean, are the majority of medical schools "name" programs? </p>
<p>And, looking at most of the top programs, the average admitted GPAs were 3.7+, with science MCATs being in the 12+ range. That doesn't sound far off from regular MD admissions to me.</p>
