Hello guys! Really panicking and want a second opinion, but I don’t have a premed advisor unfortunately.

I have a computer science project that I led as team lead. However, I also presented at an international research conference for our results as well (one of my two posters). Should I put it under research or leadership on the application?

I already have like 500 hours of research from another lab, and only like 200 hours of leadership (but it’s basic club leadership, and I’m not the president or Vice President). However, I’m also aiming at lower stat schools (which people have told me aren’t as research focused) So should I put it under research, so my research section is extra impressive? Or put it under leadership? (My main research achievement, my poster, was from this EC. And my other poster was just for a school conference)
 
This goes under leadership. Especially with your 500 hours of research, I would classify this as leadership. Since you were leading the team, technically. Really harp on how you led the team and your success doing so.
