By the time of applying, I will have completed a 140 hr individually funded research project and done a local undergraduate poster presentation in biology. I will have also racked up 160 hrs starting my biomedical research project with the medical school on my campus. For a total of about 300 hrs when I apply.
The summer of applying I will be starting my intense 3-semester biomedical project -- working on a final thesis, 5-6 presentations on my work, fully funded through individual grants I apply for, etc. This will continue through my senior year, totaling about 650 more hours.
During this, I will also be continuing doing individual research projects with the biology department -- more casual: 240 hrs more senior year and 1-2 more presentations.
By the time of matriculation, I will have a total of about 1200 hrs of research and about 8 presentations -- however by my application date, I will only have completed 300 hrs or 25% and 1 presentation. Does this look bad? Is this enough for competitive research schools?
