I currently have 1 first-author paper from bench research. Would having 2 more first-author publications (1 bench and 1 clinical) make me decently more competitive, or are the benefits minimal?
Background: my stats are barely above average, but I'd like to go to a research-heavy (ie top 20) school if possible. I have very solid and unique ECs covering all my other bases, and also have 5 national conference posters and a regional podium.
