Okay, so we all no that some form of research is very important, though not necessarily required, for applying to med school. However, if I am shooting for the stars, so to speak, and am trying to get into a top 10 research school, is a publication necessary? I know research is obviously almost required for acceptance to places like Johns Hopkins, Harvard, etc., but what about publications?
I'm asking because while I will definitely be involved in neuroscience research on my campus, I will probably never have a publication. So, how important is it to get a publication in order to get into somewhere like Johns Hopkins? Is it all but required, or does it not really matter as long as you have the "researching experience"?
Thanks so much!
