Hello everyone, i am fairly new here so go little easy on me.
before i post this i checked a few thread related to my question but i cannot find a clear answer and wanted to ask SDN members for intakes on this topic.
i understand research is great part of your application to medical school, however there is no specification on certain field that you can perform your research on. for example a lot of applicant do research on health related fields. my question is although i am biological science major would doing a research on something like Nanotechnology ( in my college it is part of the school of engineering ) would this somehow have negative or positive impact on my application since its not related to my study ( Bio major and Neuroscience minor). especially since i might start the research at the end of my freshmen year. 😍
 
The field of research makes no difference. Do research in something in which you have a genuine interest; you'll have more fun, learn more and will be able to speak about it more coherently/passionately. Medical schools value research because of the skills learned in the process (scientific inquiry, rigorous experimentation, clear presentation of data, patience, etc) not the specific project.

Thanks Bauman, but I can't deny that I am pretty nervous about my list :scared: I know it's a rather ridiculous list, but I'm -- perhaps foolishly -- banking on the fact that my state school is pretty generous with a ~40% acceptance rate (137/346 accepted) for IS applicants. And I really wouldn't matriculating there if that was the only school that accepted me 😀
