hey guys, is a 36 on the MCAT high enough to compensate for little or no research when applying to the top schools?

What do you mean by "top" schools?

You should be fine. At least I hope. I'm in a similar boat.bjorklund said:I meant the top ranking schools in primary care (US News); Duke, UCSF, UWash. I worked in a research lab for a few months but was never involved in any novel pursuits and I'm not sure if that counts towards credibility in research.

Actually he asked about the top primary care schools which are more forgiving in the research department.quantummechanic said:he asked about the top schools which tend to be research focused.

bretticus said:I wonder about this as well. I have a 33, which is good but nothing spectacular. I didn't do any research like one would think of traditionally. I did do an independent study in engineering however, so I'm hoping that helps me a little. Still applied to a bunch of top research schools though. We'll see...
