<p>I know that on the application for mstp, there's a box that one can check for consideration to md-only, but is there a similar thing for consideration for phd-only? I haven't heard of this. Would this be a possible arrangement?</p>
<p>No, if you want to be considered for the PhD-only programs you will have to submit the actual graduate applications. You can’t use the AMCAS for graduate school.</p>
<p>You’ll also generally want to have GRE scores (at least general, and preferably an applicable subject score) on hand if you want to be separately considered for grad school.</p>
<p>My advice would be to figure out just what you want to do before applying. MD, MD/PhD, and PhD programs are very different in what they offer and who they’re meant for.</p>
<p>I know Albert Einstein lets you specify whether you want to be reconsidered for MD or PhD, but that’s the only one I’m aware of.</p>
<p>You should really post on studentdoctors if you want accurate information on this.
I don’t think there are too many people here applying for MSTP.
BTW, none of my MSTP friends took the GRE.</p>
