Looking at the statistics for MD programs, most of the accepted applicants have had research experience of some type. My university experience has been choppy with COVID, my own health incidents, my family's health incidents, and the decision to become a pre-med in my junior year – all of which make for a pretty good PS. That being said, I never made it into the research scene, and I don't think the labs at my university are looking to bring on a senior that will only be there for a couple more terms.
On the other hand, I have a 3.98 overall GPA, a 4.00 science GPA, a 523 MCAT, plenty of volunteer hours, and plenty of clinical hours as a phlebotomist. I feel like I have done everything right except getting research experience. Is this a blemish to an otherwise good application?
