I've now heard many people say that while research experience and publications play a critical role in gaining placement into top-tier programs, they play a minor role, at best, in making an applicant more attractive to the mid and low-tiered programs.
Is there a general agreement about this?
If not research/pubs, what are mid-tier programs (which presumably are the majority of programs) really looking for...high step1? face-time at their clinic? good personality? something else?
Since most of my focus will be given to the so-called mid and low-tiered programs this upcoming match, I am very much looking forward to any responses.
Thanks!
