Hi,
I have a couple of questions about the research essay for MD/PHD. How long should the research essay be. Mine is 10,000 characters but my uncle said that it was too long and to keep it under 2 pages? Secondly, can we add a bibliography at the end to cite references (should we) or assume its common knowledge. Finally, how bad is it to have a subpar mcat. I have a 29 MCAT score but I was told that MD/PHD admissions look more at your research experience which I have a lot of. I am retaking MCAT but if you could give me some indication of where i stand that would be great (29S, 3.87 GPA).
