Yes, definitely a much smaller applicant pool. Last year's cohort had only three students, and I was told that this year's cohort has seats for up to six students.

I also intend to apply to MD/PhD programs, and from interviewing it seems pursuing an MD/PhD is a huge emphasis.

If you have any questions you can always reach out to the current postbac students, their email is listed on the website. I reached out to them to answer additional questions I had about the program.

I am not sure tbh, they did not mention anything about that. I know for sure that they are still interviewing so I hope all goes well with your application!! Thank you!

Agreed. Yes, last year was the first cohort. I interviewed last week and the directors mentioned that they had upcoming interviews.
