How much time do research-oriented schools (top 20)expect you to work in a lab to consider you a strong candidate? I was unable to get into a lab (immunology) till the 2nd semester of my sophomore year. I really enjoy what I'm doing and would like to go to a med school with a strong microbio/immuno research program. I am planning on applying at the end of my junior year and am afraid that my late start working in a lab will hurt me in the admissions process.
