Greetings,

Currently I am fulfilling my time as a Post-bacc student at Drexel. I have just received some awesome news that I will be published next year! I was curious how medical schools view the published individual. Is this a total win for me? Or just something nice to have on my application? I will be published in the Journal of Attention Disorders which I'm totally thrilled about... I'm just hoping my medical school of choice will be too! 🙂

Let me know what you guys think, thanks a lot.

Yes, I got that far...

So what do you want?

Will it make up for a 25 MCAT or a 3.1 GPA? No

But it will look like a very good, solid EC.
