This book is a student reference guide book for the MD/PhD application process. It begins with an overview of the structure of a typical MD/PhD program as well as student outcomes and career choices of MD/PhD graduates. Next is an outline of the academic and extracurricular prerequisites as well as the basic components of the application itself. The authors then address the factors that MD/PhD students should consider when selecting schools to which to apply. Continuing to the main application, examples are provided of all the different essay types that MD/PhD applicants will encounter along with comments on how to address the deliberately vague and abstract prompts while tailoring the responses to the combined-degree program. Most uniquely, included is a very detailed explanation of the many types of interviews that applicants will encounter and how to prepare for them by integrating extensive personal experience and first-hand discussions with MD/PhD program leaders. Lastly, there will be a discussion on how to cope with the year-long timeline that constitutes this application process and provide guidance regarding properly responding to acceptances and waitlist offers. Written by a team of authors each experienced with the MD/PhD application, this book aids the prospective applicant with navigating this challenging process.

A how-to book written from the perspective of an older brother giving helpful and 'real-talk' advice to a younger brother about to enter college concerning everything college life including: How to Handle a Roommate, How to Network, How to Meet Girls, How to Study, How to be Organized, How to get an A in Every Class, How to Stay Happy, How to Stay Focused, and How to be Successful in all Aspects of College Life. This book is first hand advice from Jake Carpenter-Thompson who graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA and Summa Cum Laude from his undergraduate university and went on to attend a prestigious MD/PhD program. This is hardcore straightforward advice from someone who has been there and done all that you or your friend/family member wants to accomplish in college. Get honest, straight forward VALUABLE advice from someone who has firsthand experience and knowhow. A must have book for any student at any level. This book is not written above you, or below you but rather it is written right at you. A tested and proven method to get an A in every class and to graduate ranked number one. This book will make college life enjoyable, amazing and easy for anyone who takes the time to read this short simple straightforward book. Jake said "Look this book could have been 300+ pages, but as a student myself, I do not want to be spending weeks trying to read through a book about college when I should be out there actually being a part of college. That is why I thought it was very important to keep the book short, sweet and jam-packed with all the critical, most important information students need so they can read the book in one afternoon then use the knowledge practically in college life." That is one of the major features of this book that sets it apart from those other so called college guides (more like time drains). The second major factor that sets this book apart is that all the information comes from Jake Carpenter-Thompson, a student that graduated with a perfect 4.0 in undergraduate earning the coveted title Summa Cum Laude, and is now enrolled in a prestigious MD/PhD program getting his medical tuition paid for by the university. If you want great advice that has been tried and proven, this book is the source to get it from. Think of it like this, if you want to be a movie star who would you rather talk to, a non-famous person who thinks they can help you because they have heard about how to be a movie star, or would you rather find out from a bonafide starlet. That is what this book is all about, information directly from Jake who has gotten a 4.0 in undergrad and gotten into a prestigious MD/PhD program.
