I'm an early M4 in the process of filling out my ERAS applying for IM, and have had major academic struggles throughout med school, leaving me pretty much too burnt out to participate in any extracurriculars/research opportunities. I did have one brief 3/4 year stint in a research lab in first year that eventually ended up falling out (PI had canceled the project and stopped contacting us and no publications/posters resulted from it), but that was all that I did before entirely shifting my time to studies since I was struggling to stay afloat. Would this be a major red flag?
In addition, I've found another negative consequence of having nearly no outside experiences is that I cannot find much to talk about in my PS. All I can speak of is from experiences from the pre-med school era, and clinical encounters during my rotations, and my interests in working in IM. Is this sufficient material to make an adequate PS?
