[QUOTE="relentless11, post: 3938304, member: 4147"] In the graduate/professional world you will not publish the abstract yes, but at the level of a pre-med who may have other things to do, I myself, my PI, and the adcoms that I have met have encouraged other undergraduates to do so. Some people only put in enough time to get an abstract. As an undergrad I presented at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry's (AACC) national meeting, and the presented abstracts were published in their journal, Clinical Chemistry. Abstracts for such meetings are reviewed, although not as strict as for an original article to a journal, it isn't a piece of cake either. So yes, that is a publication, and if thats all you have then that is sufficient, especially considering if you have other things to back you up. In this day and age, having adcoms "see right through" putting an abstract on the publication list is the least of ones concerns. Publications are regardless of how exciting they are, are extracurriculars and play only one role in getting you into med school. However in my years as a undergrad and now a PhD student, I have seen undergrads with MANY publications. Currently my own personal undergrads that I mentor each have at least 1 publication. One will be first author in their upcoming second publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and all five doing some presentation at the national or local level in the coming months. In essence, publications our becoming quite a common commodity, but the fact remains, do YOU know your research. You can be first author on anything, but when asked a question about your research, and you blow it, then they'll definately see through that. Personally I adcoms can care less if you have abstracts, publications, presentations on your application. What you got out of research, and what the rest of your application (GPA, MCAT, LORs, etc) plays a bigger role. Of course if you are doing MD/PhD then that totally changes the story, and having an original article published is worth more;) [/QUOTE]
