There seems to be a few of us here who are applying for next years entering class and are also interested in the dual degree. Let's keep this thread open for strategizing, networking, and possibly griping througout the process. Feel free to post questions and update this thread with your progress. I'll start with a little about myself:
I'm a graduating senior, Political Science major and bio minor. I'm interested in the dual degree because my previous work starting a non-profit and my desire to be involved with such endeavors in the future. I believe that a detailed knowledge of finance and management will be helpful in such pursuits, as well as be useful in a hospital or personal practice setting. I'm applying to roughly 20 schools, all of which have MD/MBA programs (except for the backup schools), but I won't be marking myself as a dual degree candidate on AMCAS - I'm a bit worried about labeling myself in a setting that doesn't fully embrace the pursuit of the dual degree. I'm looking forward to the process! (kind of )
