Examples of strong supporting evidence include, but are not limited to: published or unpublished examples of scholarly work, substantive involvement in research, and reference letters that speak explicitly to this issue. Candidates interested in applying to the MD/PhD program are required to have a 4-year Bachelor’s degree at the time of entry, with a minimum GPA of 3.8/4.0 in the final two years and an overall GPA of at least 3.0/4.0. | | |
