I've been out of college for nearly six years and had a couple of research experiences from my undergrad that I was hoping would still "count" as research experience. I'm planning to apply to med school in 2014, so the next 12-18 months are going to be very packed with pre-reqs, MCATs, shadowing and clinical volunteering but little time for a good research role.
Here are two older experience about which I am curious:
I worked in a physics lab at one of the top physics departments for 3 full months (~40 hrs/week) during the summer of 2004. Is that too old to be relevant when I apply?
I wrote a thesis/independent work in 2007 but it was not lab/science research. It was more in the realm of applied math--large amount of data gathering, going through data, analysis, etc. Is this "research" in terms of what medical schools are looking for? And if so, is 2007 too old?
Thanks!
