Hi everyone. I'd like to preface this by saying I am NOT trying to boast or be one of those people that asks for help and pretends to be innocent just to hear praise.
I have been in an extremely blessed situation these last few years of undergrad where I was able to join a fantastic research lab at the school's associated med school (state school). The lab was run by a few MDs and a couple med students who were all super motivated and were extremely productive throughout their time at the lab. I have been lucky to join them during this time and they've been great mentors.
Because of how productive of a lab this has been, I am going to be applying next cycle with roughly 15 publications. The breakdown is 4 basic science papers (3rd/4th author on these), 8 clinical papers (~3-4 1st authors, ~4-5 2nd/3rd/4th authors), and like 3-4 miscellaneous stuff like reviews, case-reports, etc (1st author - 4th author on these). In addition, I have about 8-9 abstracts.
Would ADCOMS think these numbers are artificial and inflated? I'm worried that ADCOMS would think that I just got my name added to these projects through connections or nepotism or whatever, which isn't true (don't even have any family in medicine).
Again, I am reiterating that I am extremely blessed to be in this position and that I don't mean any ill intent with this question. Please let me know if I'm overthinking this. Thank you so much for reading!
