Hi there,
I'm a current fourth year AMG student applying for pathology residencies this year. I've done quite well in terms of Step 1/2 and class rank/academics, but I notice that many of the "comparison" sites for pathology applicants say that the average amount of publications hover around 5. Currently I only have one research project which I did a presentation on (and got a school award for) - I had more research experience in undergrad but don't really remember the details enough to be able to talk about it in interviews (it was about six years ago) and so was not planning on putting that in my application.
In your opinion, how important is having a lot of research experience for residency applications? My list comprises of a lot of top-tier schools at this point, but I'm somewhat worried that only having one research project will hold me back.
Thanks!
