Would presenting a poster at the Columbia undergraduate research synopsium help my medical school application?
What if all you do is the former, ie be a lab monkey. The lab that I will be in, in the spring is not a wet lab (at least not for me). I pretty much just follow a post-doc around and do whatever she tells me and I attend a weekly seminar over what we are going to be doing in the lab....
so my question is, would it be better not to put this on my app at all as research experience? I must say that it falls in line with your description of being a lab monkey, and is part of the "checklist", and you mentioned that adcoms will not be impressed
Humm... I heard that presenting at the Columbia undergraduate research synopsium was actually worth -0.5 MCAT points.
