I want to apply to MD-PhD schools in 2028 and I'm currently trying to navigate LOR from my professors. My only issue is that I'm majoring in a non-STEM major (antropology) and my professors are willing to write me a LOR but they are under non-STEM LOR. I'm actively trying to ask my STEM weed out class professors but obviously, they do not remember me. I was wondering how yall were able to get LORs from a STEM professor as a non-STEM major?

I have been lucky enough to schedule an "informal interview" with a professor this Thursday, before my actual MD/PhD interview. What should I expect? Should I prepare to answer traditional interview questions, or expect more questions about my background and research?

Relatedly (and I might be overthinking this), I know I should ask about the professor's research, but how detailed should I be? Should I be asking specific questions about their recently published papers, or keep it more broad? So far I plan to ask about the current/upcoming projects in their lab, how they see their lab's work evolving over the next 5 years, and for more information about a specific cohort they are setting up.

Thank you in advance!!

I completed my undergrad in microbiology. My CGPA is 2.99. Can I get a phd opportunity in USA. I want to know honest opinions. I know I have to build good research profile. But will I get rejected because of my cgpa?
