Going to be a junior and just decided to aim for PhD/MD a few months back. I'm wondering how much of my highschool achievements would be good to mention when the time comes. Not the relatively trivial things but, for example things like National Merit, leadership positions (<< pretty sure that's a no), research experience?
The last one, research experience, is of particular concern. I started volunteering at an orthopedic research lab in the hospital during the summer after my junior year of high school. The first two summers I was involved with random projects and got to hear the orthopedic interns talk about the cases of the past week. The last year that i worked there I was directly involved with a research project that ended up going through to get published. How much of that do I mention?
Thanks for the information.
