Looking at top MD/PhD Programs (I want to study neuroscience). Don't really have a strong sense on what really great MSTPs are looking for / if they just pull from Ivy undergrads w lots of pubs. I'm wondering if my lack of pubs will hurt me for MD/PhD programs?
I just graduated from a lower-tier state school, and am currently enrolled in a MPH program at the same state school. My stats are: 3.97 cGPA, 3.94 sGPA, 519 MCAT.
Research: 3 years in neuroscience lab
No pubs
Presented posters a lot at my university (5 times) and at one state-wide and two national conventions
tutor for genetics
student government
campus tour guide
If anyone has any recommendations for schools to look at, that would also be appreciated!
