How much does major matter when applying to MD-PhD programs?
I have a summer's worth of bioinformatics research, a summer of part time computational neuroscience, as well as some psychology research on genetic bases of differences in human's cognition (mainly statistical analyses of large online experiments).
Should I aim to get some wetlab genetics experience? I'm interested in genetics/genomics and would really love to explore this more and I think I have a strong background given that I've taken the pre-med pre-reqs and took more stats and math than generally required for psychology majors (kind of knew I wanted to do some kind of quantitative research from the get go).
