Do tons of research and 2 publications help out with getting into MD programs?

[Malakite]

Given that all other areas of my AMCAS are good and LORs are really good, do 3-4 years of research and 2 publications (1 Chemistry-first author, 1 Neuroscience-co-author) look great in front of an MD only adcom?

what else do you think?

I can see how this could be a stupid question, but I am an MD/PhD applicant and am wandering just in case I dont get into the dual program.

sorry maybe I misunderstood you..but having a lot of research experience is definitely a big plus, no matter it's MD/PhD or MD..a lot of MD applicants

I apologize if the earlier post sounded a little a-hole-ish...

I would have to agree with your first post. It sounds like, "Does a lot of volunteering help?"

To OP, congrats on your publications.
