Hello all
I am an MD/PhD hopeful with some application questions. I am in a predicament and could use some wisdom.
I am questioning whether to apply this cycle (after junior year) or next cycle (after senior year/graduation). My reason for this is solely based off the research that I would be doing during my senior year.
I have been heavily involved in research and have a second and third author publication so far.
My question is that by the time I graduate, I should have a first author as well and have completed my senior thesis.
Would holding off on applying to get the first author/thesis completed be advantageous?
I really would not like to take a break year, but if it were to put me in a better situation, I think I would have to consider it.
Thanks
