So I am a student at Drexel University, and for anyone that doesn't know, this is a co-op school (similar to NortheasternU). I am on a 5-year undergraduate program with 3, 6-month long cycles of co-ops each. Basically, I am alternating being in classes for 6 months with being on a co-op for 6...

Hello Guys, I matched this year but my visa underwent administrative processing. It's still pending but the program couldn't afford to wait for me. They requested a waiver from NRMP one month only after the Residency start date. The waiver is granted and they released me. Its really hard for...

While filling out one of my last secondaries, I just realized that I miscalculated my number of research hours as 625 when it should be over 1000 for four years. Will this affect my application? What are my options considering I'm already complete at all the schools I'm applying to and likely...

I’m about to enter my sophomore year and worked in a lab this past semester. I spent the semester helping to ear tag mice and prepare specimens to be sent for imaging. This upcoming semester, I would be moving to the portion of the lab where I would be scanning mice and making videos of the...

For the past year I have been working at my lab. My PI has been saying he does not mind too much commitment during the school year (coming in every week or so, or couple times a week). However, the caviot is he expects an average of 40 hours a week over summer. His lab publishes in many high...

Hi everyone! I recently decided to take a gap year, so I need to find a real job during that time. I was wondering when I should start applying for jobs to put me at the best advantage for getting a job that I want for my gap year? I would like to do something research related. Are there any...

Hello all, need some help navigating an ethical situation. Lowdown: I wrote 2 similar papers for a surgeon from my undergrad based on his idea to utilize a database to evaluate a specific finding in 2 different fields of medicine. We have been productive together and I hope to keep being...

I feel like I'm waiting for secondaries and IIs again waiting for a journal to peer review some papers I submitted. But I'm definitely not *leaves to check* checking it every 5 seconds, because *leaves to check* that would be crazy, right? For those of you who have done research, what's the...

I will be choosing my thesis lab soon for my school's MD/PhD programs and it feels like a tough choice between these two different labs, which is a good thing. However, I am concerned that my choice of a PhD in one of the two the different fields will limit what residency programs I want to get...

Have you ever heard of someone applying with 30+ publications? Actual papers on pubmed, not just ERAS criteria. Wondering what some people are doing and what the top student apps look like. I currently have 10 as an MS2 and the opportunity to keep trucking along, wondering if it is worth it to...

I recently got a research assistant position at an ivy league school. I'll be doing some pretty cool work. Is it worth submitting an update to my top schools to let them know about this? Or won't make much of a difference?

Hello all! I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what is fair game for my AMCAs activities. The PI in charge of the research that I assist in submitted an abstract for our project to be orally presented at the ASGSR conference (Oct. 31st - Nov 3rd, 2018). Is this something that I could list...

Meta-question I’m sitting down next week to chat with a pathologist-scientist who’s the chair of this small department at hms/Brigham. I’m excited. I’m a 4th year undergrad. Doing a +1 masters, so starting grad school in 2020/2021 or so. I’ve been planning to do MDPhD but I’m starting to...

Rather new to this forum so I apologize if I mess this whole thread deal up. My question is pretty much as the title explains. The current uni I study and do research at is located in my hometown so I’ve never had a chance to venture out far. After a recent vacation I realize this was a mistake...

I would really like to just have a list of "do exactly this and get into medical school," but I know such a thing does not exist. I am finishing up a post-bac in the fall and taking A&P 2 and directed research. This research class will be the only research experience that I have. I have two...

Recently I have been given more trust and responsibility at my research lab, and with that also came some challenges and struggles... I am processing and analyzing a very large batch of data by myself. I was blind to the groups during the processing, paid attention to detail and made sure I did...

Hi everyone! I just graduated in May with a B.A. in Psychology. I'm now looking for more research experience before grad school (most likely Clinical Psych Ph.D., possibly Psy.D. as well) because I only had research experience during my senior year. I'm looking for research assistant/research...

If you co-first author a paper, but the journal lists your name second on the official publication despite indicating co-author status, is it ethical to switch the order of their listing to put your name first on your CV or ERAS application? Of course, I would still indicate co-first author...

Greetings, I’m fresh out of high school and I’m really interested in doing medical research as a career. But I’m not sure whether to go the phd route or the md/phd route. I’m an international student so the decision has to be made right now. I can’t got to college and get a Bsc in life Sciences...

I should begin by saying that I understand the regenerative medicine isn't a specialty in itself and in generally stem cell treatments aren't especially common, but I am interested in becoming a physician-scientist and do translation stem cell research while still practicing medicine. So...

Hello, IF by some miracle I get into UMich, I would be very interested in joining SCRUBS-ASDP. How does one go about joining research projects in the surgery department as an MS? Do you have any general advice?

Ms2 shooting for ortho. I got a paper into a top ortho journal and was expecting to be first author as I wrote the whole thing and did all phone follow up and stats/data analysis. However my established attending took first author, he's very well known in the field. How will this be viewed? I'm...

I am hoping to secure a position at a med school as a research assistant/technologist. I hope to match into this surgical sub in the future after making it into med school. Assuming that I am able to secure this position, I had a few questions: What are things that I should look out for to...

Hello, I'm applying MD only, and wondering how to properly communicate my interest in clinical research in both my secondary essays and if/when I get interviews, without giving off the impression that I'm more interested in research than medicine. I've seen various comments on here in different...

I am looking for a non-consumer website that goes into great detail explaining different diseases and their pathophysiologies. For example: I want to study Sickle Cell Anemia but I do not want to learn about it on websites such as Web MD because of how they dumb down the information. Any great...

So one of my secondary apps (Western - Pomona Campus), asks about research experience and has a place to upload files. Does anyone have any advice on what to upload? I have a number of publications and poster presentations (2 with me as the presenter, and 4 as a second author on the poster)...

I'm strongly considering doing a research year between third and fourth year (currently an MS3). I know about HHMI/Doris Duke/Sarnoff/CRTP. It sounds like Doris Duke has limited the amount of grants it offers to medical students to be mainly of the international type now. I was wondering if...
