I may be doing research at DMU with Dr. Brittingham on Leishmania, the parasite. If I don't work with him, I will work with another Prof. there. I'm not sure what that guy does or who he is, but I'll find out about him on Monday. It sounds interesting and may help me when I apply there. What do you think?

Would a school give me more weight if I did research at that school?

Maybe I can find out who to send the "fruit basket" to or.....sleep with 😀 . J/K
 
Each applicant is weighed equally....

Doing research at DMU may help you in letters of recommendation which will reflect how well you may/may not fit in at DMU.

Good luck to you...
