<p>I was just wondering today if that is something that is possible or even normal.</p>
<p>Not normal but possible. You’d be in for a really busy year though. Interviewing at medschools and gradschools both would take up a lot of your time.</p>
<p>This is something I considered doing, but I didn’t in the end. Yes, you can do it. But have you considered applying MD-PhD?</p>
<p>No I haven’t, geoforce221! That’s actually a really good compromise for me! I’ll look into that. And yea, you’re right, ChemFreak, that would be busy, not to mention stressful! Thanks guys, you’ve given me things to think about!</p>
<p>Cool. PM me if you want to know more about it!</p>
<p>Are you asking because a) you’re interested in both research and medicine or b) you’re interested in only one but not sure yet which?</p>
<p>If a), yes, consider MD-PhD. If b), pretending you don’t still have four years to mull it over, certainly you do not want to apply to medical and graduate schools in such a way that they know you’re applying both ways (e.g., by applying to a graduate and medical program at the same school). It shows you’re uncommitted, and you’re likely to find it much more difficult to get into either type of program if they know you’re on the fence about which degree to pursue. In fact, you should instead give yourself more time to decide and not actually apply to both graduate and medical schools simultaneously.</p>
